I am calling for pure Rossi predictions. As the "350 day test" chapter of the Rossi saga concludes, what would you predict as the Rossiest possible conclusion? Not what you think is most likely, but what outcome would be the ultimate in its Rossiness? Here is mine. This is all going to be mostly acc...

Buh-buh-buh Science! Electrons! Black body! SILVER MATRIX!!! Obviously it's legit!

On Jan. 28, 2016 there was a public demonstration. Dr. Mills displayed, described, and demonstrated operation of the critical elements of what is going to be the final design of a 250 kWe power unit. Mills claims the first commercial units will be shipped at the beginning of 2017. I have to say if i...

The "Reactor" section of the website says construction starts in 2016. There's no specific information about the reactor, other than it is "confidential".

As described by General Fusion, the power plant they are developing will literally be a steampunk nuclear reactor. Fusion will be triggered by an imploding shock wave created by a spherical array of steam powered pistons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GyPnoNaiIM Yet as anachronistic as it sounds,...

I have followed Talk-Polywell with interest for several years. I also have great interest in other small programs, in particular General Fusion, but also Helion, Tri-Alpha, et al. I can't find websites that come close to the quality of this site that cover those programs. I wonder if this site could...

So you figure the odds are 50/50? Snurk, snurk, snurk.

I wondered about the 1MW of power emerging from the 2" pipe shown in the pictures of the power plant container. I know there's no direct conversion of power units to force or thrust, but from information munched off the web (about the Saturn V rocket, fwif), I see some attempts to relate the two uni...

This is in poor taste for this forum.
It's just more insults.

Or, it's just a joke. Chacun a son gout.

Scientists tell themselves that a negative results is also a success. Engineers don't.

The could be a small error, but not enough to negate proof of LENR. Please correct my understanding, so far. Regardless of the amount of...

... The problem is that the measured temperature of the primary (condensed steam) output is 23-24 C, which is about the same as Tin (24.2 C). Isn't this physically impossible? Upon reconsidering, I suppose it depends on the geometry and efficiency of the heat exchanger. Perhaps it's why the dT was ...

I see in the NyTeknik report what appears to be a severe problem with the test. From the report: "Room temperature was between 28.7 °C and 30.3 °C. Room temperature was between 28.7 °C and 30.3 °C. T2 – temperature at output, inside the E-cat T3 – water inlet temperature of E-cat Tin – water tempera...
