Apparently, the society is not yet ready to use LENR processes for solving energy problems.
The society, or those who rule it, does not need a success in solving the energy problem on the planet
IMO, "The society, or those who rule it" is not limited to just Putin or Trump.
Adani, the biggest new coalmine in Australia has the blessing of local and national governments
However China and Japan may diverge from the worldview
Fermi's 500 tons of graphite and uranium
U238 generates 0.1 W/tonne through natural decay according to
http://www.world-nuclear.org/i…ium-how-does-it-work.aspx
If there were 45 tonnes of U238 in the Chicago pile1
This 'geothermal 'heat would amount to 4.5 watts..which is more than the calculated 0.5W early December output
Maybe Enrico factored that into his xs heat calculation somewhere so he could celebrate with Chianti
The less cautious 200W output 10 days later was much in excess of the geothermal heat.
Its time to look at what is happening to the reactor rod surface..after one year
If neutrons are operative( as Godes believes) there are going to be transmutations.
If there are transmutations... only some will be beneficial to the process
Zamilov thought he observed lanthanide formation with 30 keV electrons after only 20 minutes.
Brillouin's incoming electrons are much less energetic on average but after one year they may have some effect
Zamilov's nickel alloy has interesting metals in it... niobium, molybdenum PLUS lanthanides ( watch the video)

No update about Brillouin 's COP ... possibly they have hit a speed bump
This David Gornoski video is a bit old (5March)
but I found the idea that a large balloon of Helium product is the equivalent to a day of Florida energy use... novel
after about tm 30.00 there is political exorcism which may be OT.
This aim is largely charitable,
I doubt if IH is a charity...even though Darden and Dewey may care a lot personally.
Boron carbide hardening can increase chipping..

There is a trade off btw hard and ductile
Boronizing of Steel is a common way to harden steel and protect
Kitchen appliances don't generally fail because of lack of hardness,
More US dissent from ITER fusion from Jay Lehr & Tom Harris
there appears to be little dissent in Europe
-problems- tritium generation/ electromagnetic trap cost
Looks like he not only survived the attack on his integrity, but never backed down
OT but
He doesn't seem like one to back down
Ragheb quoted
"Consensus is not unanimity"
"Academic politics is particularly vicious because the stakes are so low"
He did mention LENR in a public forum..with many fission fans present
. briefly in 2018 timemark 20.oo
Ragheb mentions Woodford in his recent LENr update.
https://mragheb.com/Possibilit…0Matter,%20A%20Review.pdf
He may heard his stuff on the academic grapevine.
"
the sensors recorded thermal neutron radiation at X10 times above background
Hopefully the radiation was just gammas..or an effect on the electronics.
neutrons are not very healing
Ask Jean-Paul Biberian
Armenian proverb
Lamb in the spring, snow in the winter.
Everything has its own time
Spring is almost over but I am in no hurry.
which he included in the upcoming paper
I look forward to reading it after its been through the reviewers.
Sometime soon?
Pessimism won't save the planet.
Neither will misreading
however remedial reading courses may benefit SOT.
All others
geothermal power won't add much to the global energy/power balance.
but in the global picture... fossil fuel combustion at 0.025 W/m2
doesn't add much to the total radiation input of over 300 W/m2
You don't read carefully
SOT has a recurrent reading problem.
Remedial courses are recommended
Oh, almost forgot, there is this:
Mario at gsvit never commented on the extensive raw data even though I sent it to him
and has never commented on the final paper, which is different from the September version
this comment refers to.
Perhaps Mario dismissed the raw data as erroneous..
Maybe SOT could ask Mary about the raw data which was on this website in 2017
either failure or success
ITER propaganda continually touts success .. after 2050 now... never failure.
However nuclear research physicist, Jassby , does talk failure
"When confronted by this reality, even the most starry-eyed energy planners may abandon fusion. Rather than heralding the dawn of a new energy era, it’s likely instead that ITER will perform a role analogous to that of the fission fast breeder reactor, whose blatant drawbacks mortally wounded another professed source of “limitless energy” and enabled the continued dominance of light-water reactors in the nuclear arena."
much smaller with a route to commercial fusion by 2030:
2030 might be optimistic judging by previous fusion timelines
but with enough funding who knows?
Total funds raised for fusion venture Tokamak Energy exceeds £50M
But who here is against optimism?
I am not against optimism for LENR.. especially relative to ITER fusion
