Quotedemonstrate that cold fusion works - at the Mega-Watt excess heat scale.
The most doubtful skeptic is not that exigent, not nearly. 100 W or so long enough to exceed either stored or chemical energy by a factor of ten would be fine. But it has to be done so it's simple, clear and credible. JedRothwell will probably tell us it's been done n times. But it can't be by the usual suspects using the cryptic method of isoperibolic calorimetry. It has to be done with an infallible method of calorimetry (mass flow for example), extremely cautious calibration, meticulous blanks (dummy runs) and sufficient power ratio out/in that Shanahan's much argued error sources become moot, again by a huge factor, say for example 10. And you have to be able to do it pretty much on demand. But a megawatt? Fun for sure but no way needed for proof of concept. I bet you knew that @Director.

Skeptopath moving the goal posts, as per usual. 153 peer reviewed replications by the ~100 top electrochemists of the day isn't enough for them, but it is ONLY for this branch of science.
Shanahan's much argued error sources become moot
I wondered why this was so.
When I read Shanahan's 2 original papers on Acta I figured out why. Reading is of course a challenge for SOT.
Reading explained why his original papers are never cited by any of his fellow physical chemists
even though he maintained they were widely applicable in physical chemistry not just in LENR.

Perhaps you could spare us breaking our teeth on cracked pots and tell us why & how it is not applicable, and why no one cites his papers?

How about a factor of 10,000? Oh wait, that's been done.
But it has to be done so it's simple, clear and credible.
Since the world's leading experts in calorimetry at places like Los Alamos and Texas A&M did this, it is clear and credible. Perhaps not simple.
JedRothwellwill probably tell us it's been done n times. But it can't be by the usual suspects using the cryptic method of isoperibolic calorimetry.
I don't need to tell you this. The literature tells you this, which is why you refuse to look at it. Isoperibolic calorimetry was developed by J. P. Joule who is not usually considered "suspect," but in any case this has also been shown with flow calorimetry, Seebeck and ice calorimetry (phase change calorimetery). The latter was developed by Lavoisier to measure the heat of metabolism in guinea pigs. I suppose you consider Lavoisier a suspect as well. You and the French revolutionists in the Reign of Terror.
Basically, you say that any positive result is suspect, and anyone who publishes a positive result is added to the list of suspects. Even when the person is the world's leading expert in tritium measurements or calorimetry, or a commissioner in the French or Indian AEC, he becomes a "suspect" not to be believed the moment he publishes a positive result. Again, your method is to move the goalposts, dismissing an extra 10 orders of magnitude or the expertise of any number of people you have never heard of, about whom you know nothing. Off with their heads!
Shanahan's much argued error sources become moot, again by a huge factor, say for example 10.
Shanahan's "errors" are imaginary. They have not been detected in any experiment, at any power level, not even milliwatts. So, any positive result exceeds them by a factor of infinity.
You might as well demand experiments that exceed the margin of errors induced by unicorn farts.
These events are extremely important in advancing the science, and almost equally important is that what is said in presentations, and informal chit chats, be chronicled and then reported on for others to peruse, and history to record.

In 1 liter Erlenmeyer flask put 1000 ml seawater, 10% NaOH, 10% monomer, two nickel electrode we can produce: More than 10,000 liter steam per day, and more than 3,800,000 calories.
We can use this energy for a "Home Boiler" or for MED DESALINATION, at lower temperature 70 gr/c ( 158F ). WITH PRODUCING EXCESS HEAT WITH THE COLD FUSION REACTION, WE FINISH THIS STUDY, AND THIS IS THE END OF MARATHON 30 YEARS FOR COLD FUSION

I think we will be adding many names to Alan's Who's Who list. Every time it seems we have accounted for all, another name pops up we missed. Good sign as Ruby says, that the field is on the right track.
but be careful as this certainly will produce chlorine gas
From high school chemistry memory I think the 10% NaOH content suppresses Cl2/favours O2.

After having dealt with Shanahan as a crackpot on this very forum, I'm not interested in breaking my teeth any further on his crockery. But thanks for considering it.
Shanahan as a crackpot
My experience with Shanahan is that he cloaks his extreme reworks of data with smoke
as in.
"Thus there seems to be nothing particularly unreasonable about the computed constants, suggesting that this interpretation of the data is as valid as any other.The resulting excess power curve showed significantly reduced excess, but still contained residual signal. This is possibly due to one or more other factors, such as the need for a more sophisticated calibration model, other physical/chemical process affecting the apparatus, or perhaps the actual presence of an excess power source (of reduced magnitude). More sophisticated analysis was not attempted here, as it simply complicates this analysis without adding insight."
His interpretations of data are not as valid as any other. .no way,, unfortunately the peer review at Acta trusted the smoke...twice
His tribalistic and obsessive hostility against cold fusion was never scientific
May Shanahan rest in seminary..

Thomas Grimshaw, of the UOT, Energy Institute, is starting an "LENR Research Documentation Initiative". Should be a nice addition to LENR-CANR, in helping to collect, preserve, and make available the material for whomever is interested. I believe also, the University of Utah still has an extensive library dedicated to LENR? The more the merrier, and another sign the field is maturing.
I am having troubles finding any substance in MIT materials despite solid effort to catalog them.

Ruby has a new podcast interview with:
Dimiter Alexandrov, Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Lakehead University Thunder Bay, Canada. He received his PhD from Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria, EU and works in materials science and electronic devices and head of the Semiconductor Research Laboratory at Lakehead University. During experiments using palladium and deuterium, he discovered by accident that helium was being generated. He speaks about the reproducible experiment that generates helium-3 and helium-4 as measured by mass spectroscopy.
http://www.coldfusionnow.com/podcast/Ruby-Carat-Dimiter-Alexandrov-Cold-Fusion-Now-023.mp3
Very good interview Ruby did with Alexandrov. Most people do not know all it takes for her to arrange these things, and then do the interview. It is a lot of work, and in many cases takes months of negotiations beforehand.
As the header says, Alxandrov accidentally discovered helium while doing other research. He eventually correlated a cyclic Helium/excess heat effect (observe XH, then see He). The cyclic nature he attributes to site destruction.
The process is replicable, and was seen in Pd, and also Ir, Mo, and even stainless steel. He feels all transition metals should work. Very knowledgeable in He detection, and used the best of equipment. Reminded me of listening to Claytor, who is an expert in the study. He also used 2 radiation detectors for neutrons, and Gammas (alphas/betas), but detected nothing above background.
He is in the same predicament most researchers find themselves after success in the lab, and that is he wants to make an LENR reactor for market. That does take money, and he is seeking investors.
