Can you give us a summary? I don't have the time and nerves to watch this lengthy and very loud video.

Once you start playing the video, a volume control will appear.

10kW unit? What power has been achieved so far?

Re Alain's 'IH have answered to Rossi's accusation with a motion to dismiss', New Energy Times seem to have removed that web page (even though it shows up in its own search).

Alan Smith: at least the puppets stayed 'warm in the housing' :coffee: , doubtless hiding there trying to escape the 'righteous husband'. :hmm:

An email from Rossi indicates that the report will be released in 5–10 days.

I have been discussing this with David in fact. It may be that nanoscale structures are relevant but that doesn't make the reactions nanoscale. What would be logical, if you think that way, would be to follow Mitchell Swartz's lead (as per his Chemically Assisted Nuclear Reactions or CANR) and call them nanoscale assisted reactions.

Low energy nanoscale reactions (see forum's subtitle)? Wot's that??
According to The Free Dictionary, nanoscale means

Quote

Relating to or occurring on a scale of nanometers, especially relating to items that typically measure between 0.1 and 100 nanometers long.

and so is applicable to chemical reactions, but not to reactions involving strong nuclear forces or weak interactions. The word is quite inappropriate in the context of this forum — unless you think it's all chemistry.

See July 2008 article http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~bdj10/articles/NET1.html in regard to Krivit's accuracy and motives.

Re the 'quasion' (sic) "There is a rumor That somepeople havealready seen the report on the yearlong test. Maybe news has leaked out.", the information has been around for a some days: see https://animpossibleinvention.…tt-e-cat-trial-completed/

"To be clear, the report from the one-year trial, which
has been controlled by a major independent third party certification
institute, will be released only in about a month, and until then no
official information is provided on the test result. However, multiple
sources have told me that the test has been successful."

Check the article, at http://richtopia.com/people/tom-darden-lenr. That isn't Darden making the statement about 'outlandish and risky technology', but the writer of the article, Mae Merriweather (name corrected: the founder has his name at the end of the article to confuse people).

The paper by Stepanov et al. omits the details for ref. 5. The paper referred to can be found on the physics preprint server at http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.01261 (link to full paper available there under 'Download').

Quote from zacnaloen

Since there is no quality control on the arxiv, only censorship, the question of whether it has actually been published or not is important. On the other hand, it becoming public on the arxiv means it is available for anyone to read, and also the abstract will have been emailed to all subscribers to the nuclear theory list.

The URL is http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.01261 (there's a link to the pdf there). Technically the paper has not been published, merely posted to the arxiv (there is no refereeing there, only censorship), and that is how the situation should be described.
