Anomalous Effects in Dueterated Systems documents the work of Dr. Melvin Miles, a US Navy electrochemist who first correlated the excess heat generated from palladium-deuterium systems with the production of helium as a nuclear product.
In three sets of experiments performed at the Navy’s China Lake research lab, samples of gasses coming off the active cells were captured and analyzed by experts in helium measurement.
The University of Texas Austin, the US Department of Interior, and Brian Oliver of Rockwell International, who was the top helium measurement expert in the country at the time, all measured helium in quantities that matched closest to the excess heat generated by the cell if the reaction were D + D fusion going to Helium-4.
But unlike hot fusion, there was no gamma photon, only the generation of heat with a thermal energy close to 24MeV.
Dr. Miles began these experiments as a response to Dr. Julian Schwinger‘s proposal that the reaction was D + H going to Helium-3. Post-doc Benjamin Bush worked with Miles from the University of Texas Austin, and later came to China Lake, to test the hypothesis.
In Anomalous Effects in Deuterated Systems Melvin Miles The Correlation of Excess Heat and Helium, Dr. Miles provides a lesson in the experimental procedure used to measure the elusive nuclear product. Watch on Youtube here:

The video is taken from an interview with Dr. Miles conducted in August 2015 amid the idyllic southern Oregon, US wilderness in the town of Wolf Creek. Patent lawyer David French joined me at the cabin where Miles was vacationing with his dog Lady.
Two-and-a-half hours of video was reduced to 25 minutes, an eternity for Youtube, but the story of these experiments could be told in no less time. Visuals utilize graphics found in Miles’ papers, as well as the papers from scientists around the world who have also reported finding helium.
