Worthy effort by David Niebauer, but his talk reveals very little knowledge of the field, apart from his 'chosen ones' Brillouin. Most of his talk could have been delivered 10 years ago. He mentions both Defkalion and Piantelli as if they were still active. But both have shut down operations, and Piantelli's patents were being offered for salew as recently as last September. I declined to buy, not that I consider them worthless neccessarily, but because anybody can read them for free, so what exactly you are buying is not very much of a secret.
I'm still watching, but I don't think this is recent, despite the upload date. He describes McKubre as being at SRI and Trevithick as a partner at Venrock. My guess: it's super old, but was only just uploaded.
Edit: Rob beat me to it.
Edit 2: It's interesting to note that Trevithick and Niebauer are friends. One suspects that between him and Page, the google camp has a good bead on their progress (whatever that is).

Sorry for the "ccn" typo...
You can read the same in daily-mail uk...
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne…ronavirus-cremations.html
As always: We can only draw conclusion from the mall number of facts we have. WHO is not yet on site: Why?? - planned to happen this week - normally happens within days. Local bloggers posting images - piles of body bags upfront - from crematoria have been arrested why ??
For me an new question arises: Is the corona virus we see in Europe/Japan really the same one that is at work in Wuhan? According to CDC they tightly monitor corona since 2018 and there is not much reason to believe its now more infectious than the 2018 version. Still more questions than answers.
Because the Daily Mail is such a bastion of journalistic rigour.

This article and dissection of the available info reveals the smoking gun- this is a lab-sequenced virus that has escaped.
'The available evidence most strongly supports that the 2019-NCoV virus is a vaccine strain of coronavirus either accidentally released from a laboratory accident, perhaps a laboratory researcher becoming infected with the virus while conducting animal experiments, or the Chinese were performing clinical studies of a Coronavirus vaccine in humans.'
There is a level 4 virus research laboratory 20 miles from Wuhan...This guy seems to have a preoccupation with vaccine safety. I don't understand what he's saying, but I'm not sure I can take him at face value.
ZH is deeply problematic. ZH started out in the GFC as a finance blog, and those who've watched it morph over the years know that it's not sincere. The guy who started it was done for insider trading IIRC.

Of course, but need to remember Mizuno did it with less that 1 percent of the USD 17,6 millions raised by BEC.
This is not a contest, however, and I praise BEC for having captured at least in part the interest of Team Google.
My comment about the COP was solely to highlight that the comment of Robert Godes was posted within the context of a Hot Fusion news item.
Here’s the article to which Godes was responding. He is obviously in a campaign to rise awareness and funding.I don't disagree at all. I only meant to push back on Dr. Richard's suggestion that BEC's reactor is somehow disappointing. Not my intention to besmirch Mizuno in any way.
-
.....true, but disappointing in the context of e.g. Mizuno's reactor.
With all due respect to Mizuno, BEC seem to have far more control over their reactors than Mizuno does his. They also seem to have a better understanding of how to reliably manufacture the key components.

Hot Fusion? Really?
Brillouin Energy already has 4 Controlled Electron Capture Reactors (CECR) currently functioning in their lab in downtown Berkeley. We achieved this having raised just over $17.6MM as of Jan 2020. Parts are interchangeable between reactors. We have had one catalyst rod that put out more than twice as much heat as the electrical energy put into the catalyst rod. That catalyst rod was able to perform the same way in multiple reactors and several hundred times. This analysis can be performed using something called System Identification. System Identification was developed by Google and discussed in nature Perspective article “Revisiting the cold case of cold fusion” https://www.nature.com/arti.... Published in March 2019. It can also be performed using steady state and water flow calorimetry. The difficulty of raising money is the only reason we are not already to market.
Brillouin Energy has ~60 accredited investors. Several of those investors brought people with PhDs in a variety of disciplines to perform due diligence. Those who invested brought PhDs working in industry. In contrast, dozens of potential investors who brought PhDs from universities never invested. Why is that? It is not a ‘conspiracy’. That would imply a collaboration, I doubt any of the professors knew each other. However ‘institutional investors’ and many others rely on people they deem to be ‘the smartest’ to advise them. Without fail, those investors bring professors. One particular investment group already investing in hot fusion discussed in this article claimed a lack of ability to due diligence on our technology. The investors who bring PhDs from industry prove that it is not a lack of ability, so much as a lack of experience.
We recently had a group of engineers with experience in designing building and operating power plants. They included a nuclear engineer with experience in multiple types of power plants including nuclear plants. That engineer spent more than 3 months investigating our technology. The conclusion is that we have control over heat production. It seems likely that our manufacturing technology can be scaled to produce electricity. They are being backed by big money that thinks we have no options. Negotiations have started but will likely be long. This activity has caused unexpected new alliances that could easily and dramatically shorten the distance to our goal of completely green energy production. The stakes are already being driven much more in our favor as time moves forward.

Merry Christmas all. Thank you for a very stimulating and educational first year (give or take) on LF.

I had a look, but couldn't find this posted anywhere. From Oct 2019.
Gamma energy evaluation for creation of 111m Cd, 113m In, and 115m In isotopes
NASA Glenn Research Center is investigating nuclear reactions in deuterated materials exposed to bremsstrahlung photons with kinetic energies from 1-3 MeV. Recent experiments used a continuous beam Dynamitron electron accelerator with a braking target. Electron beam energy loss verification was desired and experiments using cadmium and indium were completed which are known to transition to excited metastable states after exposure to bremsstrahlung photons. The gamma spin-up of 111Cd, 113In, and 115In are with photon beam energies of 1017 keV, 1024 keV, and 941 keV respectively. Recent tests corroborated published gamma energies using a beam energy loss of 62 to 74 keV.

interesting... is this published ... or word of mouth?
It's tucked away in the latest version of Forsley & Mosier-Boss' review of the SPAWAR papers.
-
An obvious example would be NASA, who have previously shown themselves interested in such testing.
According to Forsley, who is now an experimental physicist at NASA, NASA has replicated the SPAWAR co-dep protocol.
Additionally, NASA has contracted with GEC to scale up the work and NASA scientists are publishing papers on LENR.

Forgive me, but I don't understand Ascoli's point. In the TG thread, he repeatedly suggested the boil off experiment and, over time, it became clear that he believed that if TG did this experiment, they would see F&P's mistake and understand that LENR wasn't real. Ascoli continually uses the assertion that F&P made errors as proof that LENR isn't real.
But even if F&P were in error, that doesn't prove anything about LENR in 2019. There are a corpus of experiments and results, they are diverse, and they are convincing in of themselves.

It should never be applied to a new claim, because scientists -- like everyone else -- tend to reject new ideas out of hand. That's probably instinctual.
It's called 'cognitive closure' in the psych literature.
Edit: for some reason, the forum is not playing nice with the link when I paste it as plain text.

Is it a stretch to read the new paper in the context of Walborn's assertion that they've recently had some sort of breakthrough? I'm a little leery of Walborn, but the timing is kind of interesting.

Its rapidly becoming apparent that open ended funds should not be used to hold illiquid assets such as private companies or property. The M&G property fund has recently had to gate itself.
Unfortunately, there's nothing new about this story. Bill Ackman did this at Gotham, for example.

Yes, and that is why we should embrace our natural ability to be violent. It is part of who we are.
No.
