Four words............... “Rube Goldberg”.. “Perpetual Motion”..
There just may MORE than one sucker born every minute..
There really is no FREE LUNCH.. unless you find a sucker..
Technically, Rube Goldberg machines DO (or at least CAN) work, so they don’t apply here...
None of which apply to LENR. Well, maybe the Rube Goldberg, in the sense that any lab research rig eventually ends up looking like an RG setup.
"There just may MORE than one sucker born every minute..here really is no FREE LUNCH.. unless you find a sucker.."
Again, doesn't apply to LENR. "Maybe" applies to Rossi, but certainly not to the other researchers in the field of LENR. THE single proven instance of fraud in LENR research (fraud by Rossi is suspected, not proved) was perpetrated by an unknown party in the MIT physics department who CHANGED THE REPORTED DATA of their "CF Debunking experiment" to show no excess heat, when in fact the full data set "does" show excess heat.
Please,then, by all means explain how this effect has been replicated 14,700 times.
