Summary: Who is actually doing a replication attempt?

I await delivery of materials and measuring system parts which I will use in a series of experiments investigating AGP-like reactors. Observing pressure trends, decomposition of reactants, and measuring hydrogen outside the reactor are some of the planned investigations.

To support this effort I have created a Gofundme campaign.

Independent replication is the best way to prove the validity of the LENR phenomena even to the strongest of the skeptics... If retired physicist Parkhomov managed to replicate this experiment in his home conditions, if you watched the video, it was actually quite funny to see how he used his old cast iron stewing pot immersed in water as an internal chamber container with LENR reactor, I think scientists that are part of organizations with greater financial means can certainly create required conditions for replication of the experiment. We probably can't expect the replication of COP of 3.5 as achieved by the latest Rossi experiment, since he had time to fine tune the chemical formula for his fuel, but COP of 2.5, similar to what was demonstrated by Parkhomov should certainly be achievable. I don't want to jinx the process now, but it appears that the ease of replication unimaginable in other nuclear energy endeavors of the past will be able to sweep clean any attempts to stop the progress in this field.

Yeah, after observing your forum for a while, I have decided to join since it seems to be in need of the Russian interpreter I can't commit to translating large texts due to my work related constraints, but would be happy to give LENR community an initial overview, a gist, of what is coming out of the Russian scientific community and the media.

Potentially... Just give me couple of weeks to look around and see how I can contribute in realistic terms given some work and travel commitments. But yes, this sounds like a good idea overall.

I have just joined the LENR Forum and find it extremely interesting. I am a safety specialist. I have a couple of questions. (1) If the science regarding LENR is not established or accepted by the scientific community, how can the safety of the device be demonstrated to the satisfaction of markets and national and international law? (2) what is the current risk from 'patent trolls' http://energycatalyzer3.com/ne…-research-and-development Until confidence is attained I don't see the markets reacting positively therefore I am sceptical but hopeful. But I agree, LENR is getting serious reviews and should be taken seriously, but not in the absence of greater public and scientific 'confidence'.

Does Luca Gamberale have such unimpeachable good character that merely his word can derail the whole Defkalion reputation?
Might there be some underlying dispute that we don't see or hear that is leading to a rancorous questioning of motives or character?

[Just asking, without any particular familiarity with either party.]

OK, fair enough. Thanks Alain

Longview, see http://energycatalyzer3.com/ne…ed-to-produce-excess-heat however, I defkalion still believe in their approach but I have seen reports that suggest AR is concerned they are using his ideas. So two conflicting approaches, reports that it has failed and that it may be based on AR's ideas. Not sure what to make of that!

Thanks Frankwtu for the interesting and informative link. Still I want to err on the side of caution before completely dismissing any LENR technology that shows promise or at least still has some credible participants, collaborators and supporters.... it is clear that competition can drive back-stabbing. The situation is made more difficult since we still do not have enough neutral and competent observers to act in the traditional role of peer review and as arbiters with respect to LENR claims.

Dave Lawton has posted pictures of a reactor "in process", meaning not yet fueled - merely test heated before fueling or sealing - on his Facebook page. I hope to learn more soon and will post to my "LENR CLUB" blog nicomlicom.

Pencil bar heating elements which are available in the UK seem to be a good almost ready-made reactor body. This is what Dave is using.

He shared this link as a source.

Needless to say a hollow molded ceramic tube neatly wound with heating wire is a great find.
