In the field of cold fusion, having a laboratory rat ["lab rat"] upon which to try a few ideas, tweaks, changes, and the like, has been shown to be a good thing, in both aqueous and dry systems.
In aqueous CF/LANR systems, the lab rat is the Phusor®-type cathode in a high impedance CF/LANR systems [shown in open demonstration for several days at MIT in 2003 (ICCF-10) leading to many papers and discoveries.
Semiquantitative excess power exceeded 25 watts.
Stirling Engines in Cold Fusion/LANR have Demonstrated Excess Energy
In 2004, Dr. Mitchell Swartz (JET Energy) completed the second of two sets of experiments involving paired Stirling engines driven by either CF/LANR Phusor® devices or an ohmic thermal controls.
The results of both sets of runs had an average excess power gain ~170% and time integration and controls were used.
The results (and others supporting this) were reported at the DTRA meeting in Dec. 2006 [after which the following day DTRA voted to open US government to proposals involving cold fusion (lattice assisted nuclear reactions)], and at ICCF14 in 2007, and have been used to teach more details of the energy production and energy conversion science at the MIT IAP Courses on cold fusion.
