(Quote from Alan Smith)

Was 25 Watts of XSH not seen clearly then? It seems pretty large and distinct to me. I never completely understood why the temperature relaxation in Russ George's 'golden figure' was exponential, but other than that the claimed…

(Quote from Alan Smith)

Yes and no. You have greater sensitivity for measuring XSH over some temperature ranges but will have less ability to hold the system at a desired temperature over other temperature ranges. Ironically, the unstable temperatures…

(Quote from Alan Smith)

Increased insulation will make the system more sensitive to excess heat, but by the same token it will render the system harder to control in any region where temperature-sensitive lenr is turning on. The prediction is that…

(Quote from THHuxleynew)

Any chance of putting a rough lower limit on the level of gamma radiation expected for the rate of excess heat generation claimed (~ 25 Watts)?

"Whether it will be next week or a ‘few’ more weeks I am increasingly confident that my version of cold fusion will fit neatly into my shirt pocket like a fountain pen. With my highly portable ‘state of the art Gamma…

On his Atom Ecology blog, Russ George has a new entry called "Have Cold Fusion Will Travel". In it, he lays out his hope that since his Androcles reactor is small he will be able to visit different laboratories and show off its capabilities. Here is…

Thanks, I'll take a look at some of the Lewan interviews.


(Quote from Adrian Ashfield)

I don't understand how this is relevant. In any case, I expect that IH knew right away since Barry West, an IH employee, was one of the…

(Quote from Adrian Ashfield)

Rossi said that? Where did you see it?

This is not what Penon says in his reports. In a test plan (found in court document 207 exhibit 58), prepared by Penon and dated Feb 9 2015, he says that the 1MW system consists of…

(Quote from Dewey Weaver)

This is new to me.

I recall mention of multiple digital sensors on each of the small reactors that sat in racks along the walls of the 1MW shipping container. These should have continuously generated a huge data stream but I…

(Quote from Shane D.)

Are you talking of Rossi, Focardi, Levi, and so on?

(Quote from Shane D.)

Exactly. Scientists are easy to fool because they are not used to how clever con men can be

(Quote from Shane D.)

Given how insightful you just were above, I am now astounded how you turn on a dime and start to replay the same old…

It seems the best way to become controversial in the LENR business is to start getting some positive results.

(Quote from Alan Smith)

I'll push back on this too. Although I accept the distinction you have created here, I think that asking questions "... just because you would like to know and have no other motivation or use for the information" is just fine. …

(Quote from Bruce__H)

"Tell everything" is the traditional, conventional, academic science strategy. Being the first to publish is the only way to win in that system. "Priority" is the only reward. It is the only way to get a Nobel. No one gets a Nobel…

(Quote from Wyttenbach)

You are confused about my position. I have not asked Alan to reveal everything. If he and his group want to wait to define what is real and what is coincidence that is fine with me. And I don't get it ... are you one of the…

(Quote from Alan Smith)

It is true that you have been pretty forthcoming about your group's work ... in some cases even as you see the results for yourselves for the first time. There is a phenomenon, however, where complete transparency and complete…

(Quote from Alan Smith)

That is certainly the feeling I get from you.

As a matter of logic, my analysis is correct.

(Quote from Shane D.)

This whole thing (Androcles, Russ George, Alan Smith, Atom-Ecology) continues to be puzzling and exciting and possibly appalling ... all at once. It is plain from this latest blog post that Russ George's non-scientific judgement is…

Adrian keeps predicting that if Rossi turned out to really have the goods, skeptics would “turn and run”.

Not so. Here’s what skeptics would really do if the e-cat actually worked:

1) Be utterly amazed and thrilled that there is a new source of…

(Quote from seven_of_twenty)


SOT,

And all along I thought trying to convince skeptics was a part of the science process. Just shows how little I know.
