Document [read: report documentation page and p.1-3]: Thermacore Inc., Lancaster PA 17601, "Nascent Hydrogen: An Energy Source", Final Report, SBIR Phase I, contract F33615-93-C-2326, period 15 April to 15 October 1993, dated 24 March 1994, by Nelson J. Gernert and Robert M. Shaubach, for the Aero Propulsion and Power Directorate, Wright Laboratory, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base; "Prepared in cooperation with Hydrocatalysis Power Corporation (HPC), Dr. Randell Mills and William Good".

Abstract (as printed): anomalous heat from atomic hydrogen on a nickel surface in contact with potassium carbonate; 500 ft of 0.0625-inch nickel tubing coiled in a pressure vessel of light-water K2CO3 at 249 C; hydrogen at 1100 psig inside the tubing; a 32 C rise "corresponds to 25 watts of heat"; "ESCA analyses, done independently by Lehigh University, have found the predicted 55 eV signature"; work continuing at Thermacore with internal funding.

Bearing: priority 2 (a contractor test, with Mills as consultant) and priority 4 (a US Air Force contractor record from 1993-94; the earliest government-funded test of claim 2 found so far). Next: the DTIC record of this report and any Phase II; the Lehigh ESCA report.
