"Have you seen this? They're calling it the Chan method after a guy named Chan I suppose. Chan Method"

Haven't gone to the original sources that you link, but have been following the comments on Vortex-L about it.

"I'm looking for a photo. He says he had it running at 200o degrees for two days."

Well, I have to put this one in the category of REALLY insufficient data. At least Rossi has "some" level of independent verification, as criticized as that verification is. This guy has zip. "If" he has succeeded with a method significantly at variance with either Pd/D2 or "normal" Ni/H2 devices, then apparently "solid state fusion" with gas-loaded systems is a LOT easier than originally thought. As with all things scientific, the truth will inevitably come out. That may happen next week, in twenty years (per P&F), or even longer, but science ALWAYS gets to the bottom of things eventually.

The only data I've seen is that at ran at 200^odegrees for two days.

He was using a glove box with propane as the inert gas and a bunch of people said that's not exactly a great idea.

I can't really make sense of his description, he's using a Styrofoam lid?

1) 10" X 10" X 10" soldered seam copper box, open at top. 2) 4" Styrofoam insulation on sides and bottom. Styrofoam cover for top.

3) 7 6" lengths of 1/4 " copper tube soldered to bottom, centered to provide platform.

4) 4" diameter by 6" long glass pipe created by cutting glass bottle. 5) #24 gauge winding around this and placement on stand completes the apparatus. The windings are connected to an RFG with a low range and pulse mode. 6) The box is filled to 8 " with mineral oil. A thermal couple is placed in the oil outside the core. Outside, a small oil pump with 1/4 " copper tubes leading into the box circulates the oil A fan cooled radiator is attached in series to provide heat dissipation and an adjustable valve allows temperature control.

7) The energy capsules which I place inside of the coil consist of 5 " lengths of 1/4 " copper tube with the bottom pressed and then spot welded closed.

Noting that excessive copper and iron surprise showed up in the Swedish analysis I stocked powders of both with varies properties.

It looks like Aussie Guy's been PNG'ed at Vortex.
