    Agreed. It's gotten roughly half of what I've asked it wrong.

    It even fumbles general economic history. I asked it if Japan had ever defaulted on its debt, and its reply was a resounding 'no', which is plain wrong.

    What I don't understand is, after 33 years of soliciting investment, how he still has control of the company. Presumably he's sold a greater portion of it to outside shareholders at this point. BLP has got to have a pretty creative capital structure. But…

    Mizuno told me that you do not work for Mizuno Technologies and that you two are no longer working together.

    It is none of my business. I do not know much more than that. I asked him for permission to use one of the figures you…

    Forgive me, but I thought you were no longer working with Mizuno?

    Just because they've received funding, that doesn't inevitably mean that there will be rapid progress. One doesn't inexorably lead to the other.

    And as much money from other black-budget sources as they want. You could not get a piece of rice paper between Mitsubishi and the government. When it comes to funding anyway, despite my previous comment about ministerial interference.

    Your point is well taken, but I don't think it's fair to fault Metzler under the circumstances. If he said what you want him to say, his paper would not be published.

    The paper is constructed to make a few substantive points;…

    It is not ideal for the latest gas loaded experiments. I think Storms and Takahashi are both using higher temperatures.

    It might work. No instrument is perfect. But I wish these people had talked to the others more. If you are going to…

    There is no incentive for them to announce prematurely. To do so would invite immense scrutiny, and drain time and human capital that could be better spent elsewhere. Moreover, to announce prematurely, and then fail to meet the…

    Clean Planet has a new really nice looking website that also has a bit of new content:

    It is over my head! But right here, it says what I described above. It has Mother Nature starting off with plasma fusion and doing her darndest to overcome 40 orders of magnitude:

    There's absolutely nothing controversial about that statement. The lack of theory has been a serious impediment to acceptance. Results were consistently dismissed for that reason. He's just describing what happened.

    Metzler hasn't…

    I asked Ed Storms what he thought of the DoE candidates. Here is his response, posted with his permission:


    The driving force behind most studies and the choice of studies being supported by the DOE is based on the belief that LENR, if real, is caused by a…

    I believe it is Florian Metzler and Peter Hagelstein. I have seen this mentioned elsewhere, not independently or directly confirmed yet.

    Are you confusing Schenkel and Duncan?

    I really don't understand what you're driving at. We were talking about the calorimetry at CEES, which has nothing whatsoever to do with Schenkel.

    Moreover, in so far as I understand it,…
