The discouragement that followed our first series of experiments with the incandescent W cell evaporated recently when Jed Rothwell reported that Mizuno et al had constructed a water-flow calorimeter and that it was confirming the large excess heat signals they reported at ICCF-7. After contacting Mizuno and learning the details of his new calorimeter, we were even more excited about the new results, typically 100 watts in and 250 watts out...according to Rothwell's report.

With Dr. Mizuno's full and generous cooperation, we have therefore launched a new effort to replicate his excess heat result here at EarthTech. We are making a new cell that is very close to Mizuno's cell. In this effort we are enjoying the benefits of rapid text and graphics communication provided by the Internet. We have exchanged pictures of our apparatus during the construction phase and Dr. Mizuno has made numerous constructive criticisms.
