This paper reports on calorimetric experiments conducted to verify the caloric claims by Fleischmann and Pons. A twin-cell heat conduction calorimeter was used, rather than the quasi-adiabatic instrumentation of the original investigation. Under similar electrochemical conditions, the output of heat powers from experimental cells of Pd in 0.1M LiOD/D{sub 2}O and that from control cells of Pd in 0.1M LiOH/H{sub 2}O and Pt in 0.1M LiOD/D{sub 2}O were all in close agreement with input heat powers using simple theory. These results show no anomalous excess heat as claimed.
