This is what I was told by Martin Fleischmann, Stan Pons, Bockris, Fritz Will, Mizuno, Robert Huggins and other prominent electrochemists. Fritz Will was in charge of the NCFI and had his ear to the ground. He is the one who compiled the list of replications I linked to above.
So tell me Jed, why were they not able to validate the Pons Fleichmann effect on a regular basis? Are you telling all their caliormetery methods were flawed?
