If I were to ever develop a revolutionary LENR technology, I'd take it to some small country desperate for cheap energy which a ruler or government that would cut through any red-tape on the way towards rapid and full commercialization.
I could poke many holes in that. Best we deal in reality here.
There you have it. Blend of science "hot, hot, hot" (Lugano style 
), with great music. Love that Caribbean flavor.
Now back to the science.
For me, not everyone else. This is Ruby's thread, and music is what she wants, so music is what she will get! Carry on.
FWIW, I think mmckubre looks like the Procol Harum guy, and Magic like the drummer in the Moody Blues (Prince Albert Hall) concert. Now back to the science.
Nice job explaining in simple terms the e issue Para. Best I have read so far.
The usual collection of lame excuses and taking claims as facts. The reality is that convincing demonstrations with the help of a famous test lab would solve the issue but nobody seems to be able to make that happen. And the Patent Office can't refuse if you hand them a device which works or credible proof from independent reliable sources.
Seems so simple, but alas, it is not.
I agree, but by the same token the investors should put themselves in the researchers shoes for a moment. Imagine spending 30 years working on something at your own expense, against enormous opposition. Imagine giving up all promotions and in many cases actually being fired from your job. The investors are risking their money. The researchers have already sacrificed most of their working lives and much of their income.
Agree with you also. In their shoes I would feel exactly the same, but as I said... can see it from the investors perspective also. I guess that is where negotiations come in handy to sort out the two sides expectations. If an agreement cannot be reached, the inventor takes his secret to the grave, and the investor walks away unharmed having taken no risk.
The more I think about this, the more I realize how important a role investor/researcher interactions have had on the field. There must be a happy medium worked out, or nothing happens. But there is so much at play it is very difficult to reach an agreement. For every time a researcher mentions their many years investment in time and money, the investor can talk about lack of IP protection, the road traveled before by other investors filled with failure and losses. Where even governments and large corporations have failed, but this person asking for large sums claims to be able to do it out of their garage. It is not a simple situation to negotiate.
We do have investors who follow LENR-Forum other than Dewey, who are always on the lookout for opportunities. Maybe they will read this and think differently? I am tempted to start a thread focused on the topic, but investors understandably prefer to work behind the scenes.
The lectures are being videod by Anthropocene Institute and they should be available in a couple weeks (so I heard). Anthropocene hosted the party too so it was really awesome for them to do all of that for the very large group (over 100 registered for the event). They are also getting some interviews and are going to make a short movie to be released at some point.

That is Carl Page's endeavor. Good on him for doing all that. Keep up the great work Ruby.
However unpalatable the process may be, there is no getting around the fact the research requires money, and investors are the ones who have it. From what I have seen; IMO the initial research can be done fairly cheap using ones own resources, but with small success comes the need for big money to take it further. And success in the lab, often does not translate to commercial success later on, so it is a high risk investment any way you look at it. The higher the risk, the less favorable the terms.
Just a suggestion, but maybe some of the researchers should put themselves in the investors shoes for a moment. If so, they might see things a little differently. All of a sudden you are risking your own hard earned money, and not someone else's. And for what...a slight chance it will pay off? For perspective, look at the Japanese who have been funded to the tune of millions $ by major corporations, government over the years. They of all, have had the most success in the lab, but how close to commercial reality are they?
I say if a private researcher has seen results, needs more money to continue research, and with the only option available to them being investors money...hold your nose, smile, agree to the conditions and get back to work saving the planet
You bet Magic. Have watched that one many x's the last year. Gives me chills. Thx.
Interesting to read Para. Where ever you decide to post them, we shall follow.
New video for the 30th anniversary Rossi fans will like. Not sure who "Startos" is:
I give. This is my favorite all time Prince Albert symphonic opener, followed by the Moody Blues "Tuesday", then their other hits. Yeah, yeah, old geezers I know, so the rules change yet again! Say what you will about those Brits, but they know their music:
It would be appropriate to the occasion, for IH's representative to make a comment. After all, they are one of the few private sources providing funding. I say "few", because as Alan comments, there are others silently working the field. You never hear from them, but we do.
Why they chose to remain in the shadows, I do not understand. Maybe the stigma, maybe investors like to work quietly on their long shots. and noisily on the sure bets?
This article is nonsense. The author knows nothing about cold fusion.
Along with the other article which was worse, that is all I could find. For some reason, I expected a little more reporting on this to mark the anniversary.
Retro "Fire"... maybe its atomecological
Todd Rundgren.. 70 years is a good innings for a rocker
New rule; only rock star videos allowed, are those when they are in their prime. That was one of my favorites until seeing that. Only old geezers accepted here from now on, are the CF old guard.
