AlianeCo sorry to take so long to reply,
We are going through large changes at the moment in world economics. Changes .which place Western business on the wrong side of history because it is fighting to preserve invested interests and monopoly. China, Russia and the rest of the BRICs are where manufacturing innovation on the scale LENR needs can be accomplished.
Look at 3D printing which has been in the hands of wrong end of town for quarter of decade, the pattens run out and the little companies are innovation all over the place at a rate that is revolutionary. However, inventive they are they don't have a lot a capital, which is not such a problem for them, but LENR devices are a manufacturing problem which needs a lot of capital to produce them in great numbers and most importantly cheaply.
I believe that LENR has passed through its first stage (experiment, and initial model design), the second stage of first manufacture has arrived.
This stage, once started, will lead to more innovation as a new commodity proves itself to the world. That is the phase we are now entering. Once one version has been produced and sold in numbers the second wave of innovative product design will overlap with it, and we will see radically different LENR approaches designed into competing prototypes..
The problem is to move to this second stage of the first wave, because it is not just a matter of manufacture and use (look at 3D printing), but obtaining sufficient scale commodity production for the device to be seen as a practical thing by people who now have no idea that LENR has even been experimented with.
This is the difference between crystal radios constructed by hobbyists and the first valve sets being manufactured for consumers -- only that second phase of initial manufacture starts the technical revolution for people must see the the thing working to imagine its place in their lives. If big business can stop that from happening it does not matter how many experiments, innovations or small scale success occurs, people will not see it as a practical thing (look at the history of electric cars, the Telsa now going to China because it was constrained to death in the US).
When a new and critical technology appears it comes with a change in relation and a shift in capital implicit in it. Its birth place is not necessarily where it can thrive. Nothing thrives in the West at this time because its domination is coming to an end. The old interests are strangling emergent threats in their cots, and the technocrats that staff them are its instruments of death. The West will transform, but the old order must go first -- that writing is already on the wall.
LENR needs to go to China where the manufacturing capital resides ASAP. This is not like 3D printing which is a niche market and can expand laterally by customised production -- this is the energy market.
