at S.L.C. UtahThese pages show the palladium electrode surrounded by a platinum wire cage. Current for electrolysis is provided by Heathkit™ power supplies.
The deuterium oxide was recycled my means of electrical ignition. A spark was produced every few seconds to burn the deuterium. Voltage for the ignition spark was about 20kv. (This was done only to recycle the D2O)
The palladium electrode shows deformation due to deuterium uptake into the palladium crystal lattice.
Careful calorimetric measurements (thermometer not pictured) showed that no excess energy was produced.
On 5-13-89 this thing exploded in my kitchen. I know the date, because I wrote it next to the thermometer-fluid-stain on the ceiling.
