Bob Greenyer Reports on MFMP Activity at Aarhus University

I am not sure if I am supposed to respond to news-feeds directly so if not dear mods tell me.
That said. MFMP has been testing hot cats for years without any clear cut evidence. My question is there ever any debate at MFMP on changing away from this design and going with testing a different LENR device (other than Celiani wires)? Not trying to be sarcastic but it seems that Rossi even has moved on from the hotcat to whatever x-quark-cat he is claiming now.
Will 2017 be more hotcat testing? I saw some hope in me356 but he has disappeared. Other work or not that is strange to me. If even he had something that worked regardless would he not collaborate just to prove that it works under NDA? What good are improved labs if even fundamental results are not clear cut? Would not Rossi himself be still working on this if he thought it would bring in needed cash? -
there is a Danish article on that

Aarhus University connects to the controversial project on cold fusionBy Jens Ramskov 10th September 2016 at. 4:00 p.m.
Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project has previously analyzed the principles of this LENR cell designed by Francesco Celani from the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN). It contains a line with a nickel alloy in which hydrogen reportedly can be adsorbed and cause abnormal heat.Danish scientists will now help to determine whether energy can occur at nuclear processes that occur at low temperatures.
Research on the core processes that occur at low temperatures, with the potential to produce cheap energy, has many places a bad reputation and is done today on the research side line decoupled from all other energy.
Here you will find in addition to more serious scientists also people with a dubious reputation.
It is therefore remarkable that Aarhus University will now participate in this research, which is popularly called cold fusion, but with a modern name is called Low Energy Nuclear Reactions ( LENR ) - even if it is modest resources allocated.
Kim Daasbjerg professor of chemistry at the University of Aarhus with a background in organic electrochemistry. In recent years, he has thrown himself into polymer research, and for his collaboration with Danish companies in this field, he received in 2015 the Danish Academy of Natural Sciences Industry Award.
On LENR project, one of his graduate students work full time, and a graduate student part time.
Four years ago wrote engineer a series of articles on LENR based on the NASA Langley Research Center had a small project running, and described including the Italian engineer and inventor Andrea Rossi'sproject to develop and mass produce a LENR source called E-Cat .

The Italian engineer Andrea Rossi, here with one of his early experiments, the most significant person in cold fusion. He has for several years claimed to be almost ready with a commercial product, which does not currently exist.Since it has no shortage of calls from readers to write more about Rossi's project.It has not been easy, although among others Swedish professors have sought to look Rossi in the cards and given him some kind of support, as is Andrea Rossi a very secretive and distrustful person who repeatedly exceeded its own deadlines for when he would bring a product to market.
Furthermore, doubts have been raised about the contents of several of the experiments that Rossi has performed in the presence of the Swedish professors, and described in a document in LENR circles called for Lugano report from 2014.
Recently, Andrea Rossi, who has a somewhat shady past with imprisonment of four years for tax and environmental crime, evenbrought an action against his former business partner, Industrial Heat in the United States, after three years of collaboration with Rossi claims his machine not works.
Discredit or bullying
Research on cold fusion was discredited, a few months after Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons in 1989 found a heat at low temperatures, which they felt could only be explained by nuclear processes, but other researchers are not subsequently be able to reproduce.
Stanley Pons (TV.) And Martin Fleischmann at the announcement of their experiments with cold fusion March 23, 1989.Martin Fleischmann died in 2012, 85 years old. Stanley Pons, which is now 73 years old, now live in France.
Many believe, however, that Fleischmann and Pons had got something right and that they were subjected to a form of research bullying.One of the projects that will seek to show this, aptly namedMartin Fleischmann Memorial Project , and it is this project with the British engineer Bob Greenyer as one of the main forces that Kim Daasbjerg now to connect.
Bob Greenyer has a video presentation to potential American investors and donors explained that nanotechnology center at Aarhus University is highly suitable for studying LENR because here houses the chemistry, physics and nanotechnology at the same place and have equipment that can be used to characterize the materials which are included in the experiments
He explains that the University of Aarhus in turn have the opportunity to attend a series of landmark experiments.
Lots of theories
There is no shortage of explanations or theories for how the core processes can take place at low temperatures, but none of these is widely recognized, and many are mutually incompatible.
Also read: Here are the theories to explain cold fusion
Generally it is believed that the development of heat in LENR not come from fusion, but the transmutation where you transform one isotope to another.
Nickel-62 is the most stable isotope of all elements, i.e. it has the highest nuclear energy per. core particle. This means that other isotopes, which are converted to nickel-62 will deliver energy.
Natural nickel consists of 68 per cent. Ni-58, 26 percent. Ni-60 and 3.6 per cent. Ni-62nd The conversion of the lighter isotopes of nickel to Ni-62 will release energy. It is the process by which virtually every field of LENR attempts to show can take place at low temperatures and provide an energy surplus.
"Do we know the real explanation of LENR, we can accelerate research," says Bob Greenyer in a presentation video about the project, which in his eyes - if successful - can give a Nobel Prize.
When it comes LENR experiments, it may be added that reproducibility is generally a problem.
About LENR research can ever win wide acceptance and from the sidelines get into the middle of the field, only time will show, however.
The engineer has worked on this article spoken with both Kim Daasbjerg from Aarhus University and Bob Greenyer from Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project. However, they have not wanted to appear with quotes from these interviews in this article, which is therefore based on information that can be found on the Internet.

AlainCo, I have slowly and sometimes very slowly come to the conclusion that the more time we spend on the many failed multiple replications of the HotCat test, we are just going to continue on a path of what "Rossi says". There is a separate website that has been up now at least 4 years or more -> just dedicated to "Rossi says," the content of which clearly spends most of its time repeating the “Rossi says” meme.
The number of human resources that go into this are absolutely incredible.
This effort distracts from the people who need to spend time looking at our common goal, alternate LENR avenues.
However, with the current discussion focused on Rossi it seems that we spend our precious time debating the HotCat and the Lugano
experiment and the dubious results.I suggest that we need to immediately get LENR to head in a direction that will keep us focused on the goal. We have to start being very straight forward and focused on this subject.
So if I may speak plainly, in the common vernacular, with regards to Doctore Rossi, "Elvis has left the building".
We need not waste time discussing advanced particle physics on the Hotcat any longer. It has become similar to a religious dogma….. Just say’n.

Reporting as 'news' everything ecatworld publishes does seem a bit much.

I mostly Agree.
I have read some article on recent research by Edmund Storms.
No huge news, but the feeling we are few inch from the solution and that in fact the problems is bad data sharing, pet theories, physicists, math and Rossi.there is a need for funding but also for management

there is a need for funding but also for management
You started this: Robert V Duncan at TTU: 5Mn$ for hydride research in "Seashore research LLC" <-- linkAlan Smith pointed to evidence for $6 million from a donor and $6 million in Texas State matching funds. And a budget, naming names, and defined research priorities, that look very solid. All from 2014!!!
