If I post an article FROM Rossi, feel free to re-engage in this 11 year old hostility. Until then you are simply acting as a harasser, a troll.

11 years later and no E-Cat at Lowes, so go bother someone else with pie-in-the-sky fantasy articles.

It’s been almost exactly 32 years ago. How about a progress report.

Well Kevmo, I’ve got most of the setup for one in my east garage. Seriously.

It’s a little different than those that I’ve read about. It uses nickel and hydrogen. Nickel also absorbs H2 into it’s lattice. The vessel it’s contained in is good for about 100 atmospheres. And I don’t use heat to start the process. I wish I had the time to drag it out and finish it, but I’m getting old...

Better that 30 years now and they are still playing the same tune

"Fleishman and Pons were met with the same derision ..."

When their initial report came out I was working as an engineer along with many dozens of others. I can assure you that their claims were evaluated consistent with their good reputations.

The problem is and always has been the inability to reproduce their results. I see that Andrea Rossi still claims, after all these years, to have products to sell based on similar "technology". I am not aware of anybody getting benefit from such products.

The burden of proof in scientific matters does not shift to the general public simply based on unreproducible claims. It remains with those who make the claims.

I’ve heard of others using Nickel, like Focardi and Piantelli. It’s more difficult to get the process started, but the reaction is much more vigorous.

My view is that you need to have a precursor reaction using H1 gas rather than D2 or h2 gas. The first thing H1 gas tries to do is become H2 gas in an endothermic reaction which sets up a series of Bose Einstein Condensates crashing into each other in small fusion events.

Those small fusion events lead to the most common (by far) fusion events —proton-proton fusion, such as happens in our sun.

You are simply uninformed.

The P&F efffect has been replicated hundreds if not thousands of times.

The co-deposition approach has been replicated more than 200 times.

I made money by betting that Yoshiaki Arata’s pycnodeuterium approach would be replicated in a peer reviewed journal.

"You are simply uninformed."

Perhaps you can enlighten me then.

Which specific experiment has been most often reproduced? What were the specific materials used in that experiment? What specific by-products were detected at the end of the experiment?

Replicated >153 times by the Who’s Who of electrochemistry, >180 labs, >14,700 experiments.

If Julian Schwinger is allowing for the possibility of cold fusion, that’s enough for me.

"Replicated >153 times"

So, when you say "P & F effect" you are talking about anomalous heating? Is that the only criteria for identifying the effect?

Were neutrons detected in all 153 or in none of the 153? Was palladium saturated with deuterium used in all 153 reproductions?

Dude. Do some fricken reading, will ya?

The DEFINITION of anomalous heating event is heat that occurs greater than is currently thought possible with chemical means. Why do you guys always ask us to spoonfeed you?

Read the papers. Learn some stuff for yourself.

There are other scientific luminaries in the same group. Guys like Arata, who basically ran Japan’s nuclear program for decades.

"Do some fricken reading, will ya?"

Your enthusiasm hasn't motivated me to read anything.

I understand what the definition of "anomalous heating" is.

Did all 153 experiments detect neutrons, or none of them, or some of them? That's a pretty simple question.

Similarly, did all 153 experiments depend upon palladium loaded with deuterium? That too is a pretty simple questions.

If you understand the definition, they why do you ask?

Read the documents for yourself. I aint gonna spoonfeed ya.

Your seagullness hasn’t motivated me to treat me with anything but disdain. So we’re at an impasse.

You should keep in mind the rules for FR. Per JimRob, it applies to EVERY topic.

Do not badger other posters. Do not demand an answer. Do not enter a thread on a topic you don’t like just to disrupt, rattle cages, insult the regulars, etc.
