    To avoid these discussions about thermal inertia, it would have been better to log only end temperatures where the temperature is stabilized in time at a given input power. The same can be done with the active run. Calculate a curve through the calibrated points (temp. Vs power) and use this equation to calculate the power at the logged active points temperatures and subtract that from the input power in the active points. The result are excess power points that can be plotted against input power or temperature. It is a bit more work, but a lot more clear to show.

    I am looking forward to this demo, although I do not expect that tomorrow LENR will be different than now.

    Rossi will not prove it. I hope he will get many customers and his production will explode. If in one year time he only has satisfied customers, then I believe LENR is proven.

    Maybe one of us has a industrial process that needs a MegaWatt of heat. Just order heating at Leonardo.com and tell us your experiences.

    Let us wait and see. Maybe we will see something new tomorrow!

    It is interesting to see that the work of the eminent Japanese LENR researchers finally reached the financial centre of Nikkei. Hopefully it will attract capital to intensify the LENR reseach in Japan. That will no doubt inspire investers elsewhere and the LENR ball will finally gain momentum.

    Despite of what many write here on LENR forum, I believe that the main issue that an independent test group is nearly ready to verify a LENR device openly and hopefully life!

    Really this is unique and a milestone in LENR history. When it is proven that the claimants figures are true, than LENR is real and we all will know.

    Obviously I would have preferred the disclosure of the ME356 technology, but at the other hand this guy spend a lot of money in the development and wants something back. I am sure that in a few years we will know how it works, if ME356 has something.

    For now let us wait and see and hope it works.

    "The source was determined to be due to the transition of H to the lower-energy hydrogen or hydrino state H(1/4) whose emissionmatches that observed wherein alternative sources were eliminated."


    I wonder if Mills has ever checked on transmutations, fusion products Iike deuterium, tritium and helium, to exclude that this may be the cause of EUV and gamma radiation.

    My understanding is that Rule 4-1.16 Declining or Terminating Representation is not necessarilly invoked due to misconduct. As Eric pointed out, it can simply be that the other attorneys were not involved in the case, so their invoking this may simply rest on the opening clause, which permits withdrawal if: "withdrawal can be accomplished without material adverse effect on the interests of the client" (without any of the misconduct reasons following, because there is an 'OR' preceding that list.)

    I agree. My guess is that the bulk of the work is now done and that these litigators who did most of the paperwork are now withdrawn of the case. Just housekeeping as Eric said.

    I believe it is likely that some traces of ash of used fuel can be used for a simple triggering a LENR reaction of newly prepared fuel. Once triggered the reactor can be switched on (and off) within seconds using an electrostatic field. That excludes the need for heating it up first. Ash may still contain material with the right conditions to trigger LENR and an ongoing LENR reaction may also bring neighbouring material in the right condition. This condition will fade over time.

    The demo is not tight to the 5 Sigma testing as Rossi has said. When asked where it does depend on he said: "When we are ready for it.", so there is something else whee it depends on. My gut feeling is that it is an endurance test of one year of one of the three being tested. Obviously that can go wrong and then the demo will probably be delayed. I think that this endurance test will last till the end of January, maybe earlier. Reaching that without failure will trigger the organization of the demonstration and will free the money for the industrialization phase. In the past he has said that would be a public event with press releases, media, etc. This requires some time to organize. From what Rossi says it does not sound as if he is already preparing for this, but I am sure he would not say this publicly anyway.
    My estimation:
    - 25% That the demo will take place in February.
    - 10% That it is a convincing demo. (Knowing how Rossi uses to deal with this until now).

    Thanks Mr. Selfsustain. Some posititive sound is good. Interestingly, it seems to contract the the wittless ones who only like to spread the negative word. Maybe they self sustain each other by doing this? :D


    I hope Rossi will prove that it works this year. If not, others will come like Holmlid, Brillouin, Mills (BLP) or even Santili or Dubinko or even ME356.
    This and other LENR sites can only exist when positive news is provided and even last year there were some positive results reported, but unfortunately less than many of us had hoped for in the beginning of 2016.
    As you say, there are (again) many signs that 2017 will be the year of LENR, so let us go for it!
    All the best for all of you!

    So, although a full Professor in his working life he is now pretty much one of us garage/kitchen table researchers. Which is to be admired.


    He has still access to very sophisticated apparatus e.g. Microscopes, Electron microscopes, Mass Spectrometers etc., which is a huge advantage. I assume he has also more easily access to special materials and equipment that he needs for these tests. He would have been much further is he he had freely access to all of it, I am sure.

    There is a lot of speculation of what Andrea Rossi is doing to get his 5 sigma. I am quite sure it has to do with (in no particular sequence):

    • reliability
    • performance
    • safety
    • producibility
    • controllability

    I am sure there are more. So how would AR test all these different aspects in a relatively short period. How would you measure each of these on 5 Sigma?
    I have no idea, I have never had to do with 5S, but maybe someone is more familiar with this?
    He has mentioned more often that he had 3 QuarkX's running, but that may have changed in time...

    Hi Peter,
    Why do you continue discussing with them? just ignore them because these guys are either insane or paid to influence us. Any normal person would just say once what he thinks is the truth and after that keep his mouth shut, but these guys don't, they just continue endlessly.
    Just ignore them and spend time on the very interesting revelations of Bob Greenyer MFMP in the Doppelgänger video. I am sure the catalyst ideas he spoke about must have triggered many thoughts in your 'chemical trained' brains. I would love to hear your opinion about his presentation in your blog, thanks!

    It could of cource be Andrea Rossi. That would be an interesting move!
    Or Celani perhaps?
    Or Miley or Schwartz as others suggested?
    Or Mike Mckubre maybe?
    Holmid et al is also thinkable
    But Bob said he was working more or less equally long in the field as Me356 did.
    So all these are wrong, although I am not sure about Holmid.
    It must be a scientist so I do not expect a replicator from the MFMP group.
    Maybe Bob Higgens though, but I do not know if he is a scientist. ?(
    Ed Storms is indeed a reasonable candidate, so I vote for him.
    Good luck Bob and secrets scientist with this test!

    Thanks Jed for this translation!
    It is very promissing to read that this phenomenon can be repeated with 100% probability of success! This should initiate other research institute to replicate. For these replications all details are needed and I hope Iwamura et.al. will publish these soon.
    One aspect that came into my mind is the the gas they used for the glow discharge. Although I did not read it in the article, I believe it must have been argon, because some metal of the nickel mesh was sputtered on the palladium electrodes. It would be interesting to know that for sure. Obviously also the duration of the heat production and all details around it are most interesting and I hope te read more about it when officially published. I can't wait for it so I hope we will hear every detail in the ICCF20! :)
