Like a laser, those microparticles must be pumped. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_pumping Heat is light...infrared light. . Axil, you're comparing apples and oranges. I'm very familiar with pumped cavities for microwaves. However, a pumped cavity does not generate energy in excess of that ...

That is how capitalism works. It takes money to make money. Only to get things rolling. Apple doesn't need anyone's investment. Your car needs only a tank of petrol and a little push to get it going. Rossi, on the other hand, is saying that his device never gets rolling--it always needs that electr...

The amazing thing to me is that you have this situation where Rossi claims a device produces heat in excess of the furnished by external electrical (or if you believe the man, gas) energy. Now think about this for a second. You have a reactor that needs heat to operate and produces heat in excess of...

I seem to remember back in 1989, when P&F were conducting their "show" that someone from Caltech pronounced their little experiment a failure of calorimetry and even offered a prize of his own money to anyone who was able to prove otherwise. To the best of my knowledge, said prize was never claimed....

If not nuclear, it probably will not revolutionize anything, but it certainly is a little bit irresponsible to not fully investigate. These experiments are pretty cheap and are tabletop, so, so what? I like what the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project is doing. You guys and gals(?) go! And if you h...

So those of you who believe that LENR is real, have you personally verified (conducted measurements yourself) on these working devices? Or are you relying on what you read on the web? See, if you can believe that it's real beyond any sort measurement error, can you explain why the good folks at MFMP...

They don't fit the pattern of a scammer. A scammer would never waste the time to write a 1,200 page book and them amend it constantly for more than a decade. No matter how wrong these people may be, they believe they're right. Unless you have evidence they don't believe in what they're doing, it is...

Bull. If secrecy were really the case, Rossi wouldn't be posting on JoNP or anywhere else. Requests for information would go unanswered. You wouldn't even have a clue that nickel or hydrogen was involved. If, as Rossi claims, he's not in an executive position at IH, but rather just their Chief Scien...

So you don't think that Rossi got $14 million or whatever he said? With that much money, you'd think that you'd at least be seeing help-wanted advertisements for IH. That we don't makes me even more suspicious that we're looking at a small "seed" grant and a promise of more if things work out. The w...

JoeP, we *think* there has been some sort of test (whose results were to originally have been published in, well, pick a date) because Rossi said so . No announcement from anyone else in IH. No independent tester statements corroborating Rossi. Allow me to put it this way: were you to dump (reported...

Its not just Rossi. Even though most of the scientists involved in this experiment are friendly to Rossi, they all have real careers and reputations to protect. So I am interested in seeing the parameters of this experiment, and any improvements that have made that take account of the critiques fro...

Great jumpin' Jehosaphat, these guys just don't give up, do they? Any careful reading will show that they have nothing, yet they believe that some psychiatric inmate or religious follower will lend them more money to hire EEStor staff to come up with something, anything. Perhaps some of the principa...

Astounding field strength, but 77K is hardly room temperature.

From the products of transmutation that we see in many LENR experiments, it sure looks to me like the protons and neutrons in the input material are being chopped up, blended together, and reformed into a wide range of both light and heavy output elements. Boy, that would be a real job for Blendtec...

My view of this whole LENR/CF/CANR/whatever thing is it makes a great topic for discussion and baiting, but until we see a commercial verifiable product, it's so much speculation. In particular, if you want to see years of a discussion of LENR full of ad-homs going nowhere, consult the theeestory bl...
