    The ISCMNS is conducting an archival project to preserve historically relevant video and audio recordings related to the field of CMNS and the discovery of the Fleischmann-Pons Effect. As part of this effort, we are collecting VHS tapes and digitizing them. These files will be preserved safely in long-term storage using cloud storage services and uploaded to YouTube to make them available to the community at large.


    Today we are announcing the release of the first group of videos to come out of this project.


    Many of the VHS tapes are newscasts by the mainstream media (CBS, NBC, ABC, etc.) both from the time of the announcement and periodically in the years since. Another large group comes from International Conferences on Cold Fusion (ICCFs) and other conferences, such as the CMNS sessions at the American Chemical Society and American Physical Society. This group includes the International Workshop on Anomalies in Hydrogen/Deuterium Loaded Metals

    conferences organized by Bill Collis, co-founder of the ISCMNS.


    Many other tapes in various categories have also been obtained. They include, in particular, past interviews with Martin Fleischmann, Stan Pons, and various other prominent members in the CMNS field.


    Gratitude is expressed to Dr. Melvin Miles and Dr. Tom Passell for making their VHS tape collections available to us. The legacy tapes project is being conducted jointly by Thomas Grimshaw and Rob Christian in their respective roles as ISCMNS archivist and media specialist. Seamus Lonergan and Diadon Acs are also contributing to this project by authoring our video/audio summaries.


    In addition to the legacy media, Rob Christian is also leading an initiative to film all new interviews with prominent members of the LENR field, starting with Dr. Edmund Storms and Dr. Melvin Miles. These interviews will also be released to the new ISCMNS YouTube channel:

    I had a conversation with Kasagi about it at ICCF25 and follow the Japanese groups very closely.
    Is there a particular question you have about there experiments and there approach to there QHe system?
    Maybe I could help answer it?

    No, sorry for not being more clear. I know these pre-print servers are used to allow for discussion and prevent the possible censorship of the peer-review process, so now that we have this LENR paper on arxiv, I'm wondering where I can see those discussions (if anywhere).

    I'm still learning what my process is with DEVONthink. I've made annotations but not yet figured out how to make them searchable. Once that's done, then I have to recreate everything I was holding in EverNote. Such a drag but it should be pretty powerful once this is all done.

    JedRothwell, when you OCR these, are you replacing the image with the generated text? There is also the option of using invisible text over the original image, which is how all of my PDF's come out when I do OCR and it's what I prefer for my efforts. Are you opposed to doing it this way?

    orsova, using JavaScript, it's possible to get a list of URL's for every slide in a given presentation, but you would then have to download those images and put them into your own slide presentation. Let me know if you want to pursue that approach. Otherwise, a trial account sounds like the easiest approach.

    To do this, you add #page=nn to the URL. For example:

    Right, I am trying this, but what I want is for these URL's to work with a local file on my machine. I've tried using the URL format file:///, but on my M1, macOS, Venture 13.4 (22F66), this does not work with Acrobat or Preview, and in EndNote, it opens Finder, not the program I want.


    So I am still stuck. If I can trigger a script from EndNote, I can probably do whatever I need.

    I've started using EndNote, but I'm not sure it does everything I'm looking for. If anybody can provide advice on this, here are the things I'm trying to achieve:

    • The tool should access the content of various media types: PDF, video, audio (EndNote does this)
    • When I lookup the reference, I'd like the tool to take me directly to the relevant page of the PDF, or the relevant timestamp of the audio/video (can't see a way to do this in EndNote)
    • The tool should have strong search capability, such as looking up all references of a particular person and allowing me to see them in chronological order, or all references of a given type (news article, personal correspondence, etc... EndNote does this)

    Also, I'm on Mac.


    For context, I'm in the process of working with Steve Krivit's Garwin archive. I've found multiple great insights from these files and I need a way to tie everything together, to be able to pull my sources together for the videos I'll be making, and to simply keep my recollection accurate.


    I've previously discussed this with JedRothwell and Ed Storms.


    Is there a way to trigger some kind of script from within EndNote to open my source file in the appropriate program and pass in the page number or timestamp to jump immediately to that location?

    Hi all. Sorry for being absent for so long. I have changed my notification settings so hopefully I don't miss things and can respond in a much more timely manner. Also, I'll try to keep the LF tab open.


    Pete I think that all ISCMNS members should be added to the ISCMNS private section.


    As an aside, a great number of Larsen’s presentations are still available at Slideshare. At one point, I tried to make a copy of them, but it’s hard to download and archive them. Who knows how long they’ll survive for.


    I’ll try again soon using a CLI tool like this: https://github.com/Neelfrost/slideshare-dl

    If you can share the link to the particular slideshare you're talking about, I might be able to help.

    Okay, I figured it out. He says he back-calculated what the true voltage is. That must be the extra column.


    I'm still trying to figure out if his other statements are correct.
