May 2017 be for LENR what 2016 wasn't

When it comes to LENR, 2016 really sucked. Yes, it's true. The lawsuit between Industrial Heat and Andrea Rossi polluted the whole community with toxicity and hostility from both sides, the number of public and openly disclosed replications of what some people refer to as LENR+ declined, and the noise level from feuding parties rose to sickening heights. The events of this past year were the opposite of what I'd hoped for. Although there were a few brighter spots and some progress (a little in the open but most behind closed doors), the world still does not accept the Rossi Effect and LENR as a whole as an absolute rock solid reality.

But I expect everything will change in 2017. I know that there are more parties gearing up for public replications, some of these teams have been provided with more "know how" than ever before, their labs funded on a shoe string budget are actually acquiring more equipment, and there is a strong willingness to push forward. I'm convinced that many individuals in the community are now realizing how and why these systems work, at least on a general level: make tiny spaces in the lattice, fill tiny spaces in the lattice with hydrogen, stimulate the exotic hydrogen species in these tiny spaces in the lattice. Of course, there are many ways to go about these steps, but we're in a far better position than in January of 2016!

In 2017, I expect the Nickel-Hydrogen and Nickel-Hydrogen-Lithium LENR systems will be replicated repeatedly, and at some point a group will provide a set of guidelines that will allow it to be replicated with a high success rate by anyone around the globe. I'm not talking about systems with lower power densities (a few watts per gram) or low COPs (1.2), but high power densities (1000 watts per gram or higher) and high COPs (including self sustaining reactions). Once some basic techniques are mastered, anyone on the planet will be able to show reactors glowing at 1000C or higher for hours with minimal input. These systems will prove that the Rossi Effect and LENR in general is an absolute reality.

Of course there is no telling what will happen with the Doral case, but I expect once replications start commencing it will become far less important to most people in the community. After the guidelines for a successful Ni-H-Li replication are published, there will be hundreds of people posting videos on YouTube. We'll go from a handful of "players" to potentially thousands of "players" over night. IH and Andrea Rossi will both go from being major names to just individuals in the crowd.

LENR will start being utilized in thousands of products faster than we can imagine. The power grid will fade away, traditional renewable energy technologies like solar will die a quick death, fossil fuels will become almost instantly obsolete, and humanity will start colonizing the solar system.

Each new year same words blah, blah but never facts.

there is always some good news

After a lot of years of blah, blah I asked to submit to mainstream scientific community verifiable evidences, not still wishful thinking.
Which are? Where are?
I see only a shop that sell stuff on web.

Henry. There are none so blind as those who do not wish to see. And thank you for the link.

My eyes are well open, but nothing to see, only trade of stuff and usual blah blah like:

Because LENR / Cold Fusion is a poorly understood field of technology, Looking For Heat is not in a position to guarantee positive results.

Chat or gossip (in a blog or in a forum) are not Science, the Science (the real one) is whole another thing.
It sees how the truth hurts.

Jed,

The replicator community doesn't have a guaranteed, proven to work 95% of the time "recipe" for a high powered nickel-hydrogen reactor.

However, I'm convinced that we are understanding more and more of what is required to clean the nickel, degas the nickel, force hydrogen into the nickel into specific spots where clusters of hydrogen atoms can accumulate, and then stimulate that hydrogen so that nuclear reactions can take place. Rossi figured out what was required long ago, and I think the replicator community is catching up with him very quickly. We'll duplicate his likely fuel preparation steps and stimulation methods for the powder based "hot cat" before the end of 2017. There will be a lot of tedious testing involved and this won't happen overnight. Even after one of the active replicator groups produces self sustain for hours (like Songsheng), there will need to be extensive testing to reproduce the effect repeatedly, find out which parameters were most critical for it taking place, and try to find the minimum fuel prep that allows for it to take place.

Likely, the intensity, times, temperatures, and extent of fuel prep will be different for each brand/type of nickel powder. Each brand/type will likely have a different level of contaminants that will have a significant impact on what is required to make it into an ideal LENR fuel. But we'll work this out, and hopefully a specific type of nickel will emerge that is a good "starting point" for replicators.

Although I expect much of the work will be posted online as it goes along, eventually a repeatedly tested (by multiple parties) and proven recipe will be published. Then anyone around the world will be able to produce simple reactors in many different configurations that produce a kilowatt or more of heat per gram of fuel at high temperatures and in self sustaining operation.

That's my goal for 2017.

After re-reading George Miley's patents that Industrial Heat acquired, I recognize that our methods will most likely seem primitive and "stone age." The Rossi technology -- except perhaps for the Quark which we know almost nothing about -- produces "dislocations" that can be filled with hydrogen "clusters" in a far more primitive way than Industrial Heat could do if they utilized the techniques described in Miley's patents. But the less sophisticated way that most replicators will probably utilize will still work, and we'll share how to use these techniques with the world. Maybe our technique will be like churning butter in a barrel for a few hours, one small batch at a time. But the result will still taste great on biscuits, toast, and muffins, even if it won't be comparable with Industrial Heat's mass produced whipped margarine spread they may eventually offer at every shopping center -- after, possibly, exhaustive safety testing in China for a decade.

But regardless what Rossi does, regardless what Industrial Heat does: the world will have a way of producing 1000 watt per gram, creamy, tasty, butter!

Henry: this is a warning. Please adopt a more constructive attitude. This place is our forum, and you're a guest here.

Your forum? Are you the owner?

I am a lot constructive about the truth.

None of the recipes or patents work as all, as far as I know. I have heard from the MFMP and others who have tried to replicate. They say nothing works. I am sorry to report this, but facts are facts.

These are not facts. This is the new theme being pushed by the most vocal of Industrial Heat's supporters. Nickel-hydrogen reactions do indeed work, but they are tricky -- primarily because hydrogenation and creation of the internal reaction sites is not an easy process.

And, just to prove to everyone here that I'm not afraid to speak critically of *any* party, I'm more than willing to openly say that if anyone from the MFMP has told you that Ni-H doesn't work, that individual needs to shut his or her mouth or get back into the lab. The MFMP has some very smart people who are very technical. Bob Greenyer is also to be commended for his dedication, commitment to open source, and push for live science. However, the MFMP has done very, very little testing. A one off test perhaps once every other month will contribute little to figuring out the "recipe" I talk about. I've suggested to the MFMP before that they need to focus on more tests, in rapid sequence, changing individual parameters. But, like most replication teams, even more so than money, they lack the manpower and labor to do so.

Me356 is an example of someone who I'm convinced figured out how to produce massive excess heat via continual, ongoing testing. I've been told he would work each day at his business, go home, and immediately prepare to perform tests. So literally, every day was a new test. Like Rossi, he ran these tests -- changing parameters and gaining experience - obsessive compulsively. It was from these countless tests (he is probably in the top one percent for number of tests ran) he gained the experience and knowledge of what's important to produce excess heat -- with the materials and metals and powders he was using.

I am hopeful that in 2017 we will see more testing take place. Already there are teams ramping up to do longer series of tests instead of one offs like the MFMP and several others.

And, finally, exhibit five doesn't prove anything whatsoever about the Rossi technology as a whole. Doral doesn't prove anything one way or the other about the Rossi technology as whole. If Rossi is thrown in prison for fraud -- which I don't think will be probable to happen because you know my opinions on the matter -- that still doesn't prove anything about the technology as a whole.

You tout that exhibit like a Pentecostal preacher thumps a Bible on the pulpit. Well, I like that kind of hell fire and brimstone. But the problem is that you're thumping the wrong book -- a twisted watchtower version. There is a ton of evidence that the Rossi Effect works: the tests of Focardi-Piantelli before him, his own tests, the tests of replicators. You disagree. That's fine. But as far as I'm concerned, that exhibit doesn't suggest ANYTHING outside of what happened in that specific facility during that period of time. And, even then, it doesn't mean that no excess heat was produced or that *certain* individuals reactors were not producing high levels of excess heat even if the total output was exaggerated.
