Yeah, I saw that... I am sceptical to day the least. It sure sounds kinda silly and they even say there that it wont make for a practical power source. Still funny what weird stuff people stumble upon by accident.
Seen him before....

Gotta like that Seth Putterman. He was the first that I saw that alerted us to the fact that of Rusi Taleyarkhan's bubble claims weren't independently duplicatable. That was about 2005. Yay, UCLA; Sorry Purdue.

I was doing Astronomy photography when I was a teenager (35 years ago). To save money, I was cutting my own film from large reels (normally used to make movies), and sticking it to my 35 mm spool with Scotch tape. I noticed that I was always getting my last few shuts spoiled with an image of the tape glow produce when I was pulling it from the film after a night of observation. The glow was actually visible from the naked eye (in the dark room). I was quite annoyed by it

Skeptical of what? Don't get it.
