[Vo]:LENR-CANR.org downloads may be trending up

2023-07-04 Thread Jed Rothwell
In recent years, average downloads per month were lowest in June 2022, at
6,117. This year, the average per month is 10,412. Perhaps this indicates
increased interest in the field? It could be because of the DoE
announcements. More people have looked at the News section lately, where
the DoE announcements are listed. I think the increase mainly comes from
people at various institutions downloading the entire library.

[Vo]:Cold fusion in Popular Science

2023-07-04 Thread Jed Rothwell
Here is an annoying article about cold fusion. I guess any publicity is
good publicity, but it is annoying:

"Cold fusion is making a scientific comeback

A US agency is funding low-energy nuclear reactions to the tune of $10
million. . . ."

You wrote: "Fleischmann and Pons’ fatal flaw—that their results could not
be replicated . . ." That is incorrect. Within a year Fleischmann and Pons
were replicated in 92 major laboratories, listed here:

By the mid-1990s, over 180 laboratories reported replications. These
replications were published in mainstream, peer-reviewed journals. I
suggest you review this literature before commenting on this subject. See:
