I predict the phenomenon will be studied seriously in the US and elsewhere only after it has been developed as a practical source of energy in China or Japan. Then economic desperation will be the driving force.
Dear Dr. Edmund Storms,
I wanted to reach out to you after completing an application process for supercomputer simulations. In our application, I referenced your latest paper because it could provide valuable justification and additional information for our LENR project.
So I am lucky to have seen your comment in this forum in advance. I do not want to draw attention to the subject that I quoted from your comment, as it is not permissible to engage in debates here. However, as a Japanese citizen, I believe that LENR has the potential to become a major energy source in the future, and its impact on society could be far-reaching, affecting many aspects of our lives beyond just the energy sector.
The only/best solution to avoid such tensions lies in semiconductors or AI. I believe that making LENR's core technology open-source and patent-free would be the most effective way to address these issues.
I am not an expert in intellectual property, but I presented the idea at the 24th Meeting of Japan CF-Research Society (JCF24) last year. I have presented my LENR experiment project, which aims to directly generate electrical output from LENRs. If you are interested, please take a look.
There is also a draft version of the proceeding. Both were developed in the communication on this forum.
