Alan, The yellow strip (the bigger of the two) just to the left of orange Methanol strip. Is that for H2-ICE? You don't have an arrow pointing H2 ICE towards the yellow strip. You appear to have arrows pointing to everything else. I think it would be a good idea to put an arrow there as well,

My opinion is that it makes perfect sense for Rossi to be involved at these points. He does still want to protect IH's IP. For him not to be there, he may have had to disclose things to the researchers he would have preferred not to. Additionally, he knows how it all works, and it would be

Can this be used to challenge Pomp's claim that the ash was faked by commercially available enriched isotopes? Most people on this list seem to be very good about raising technical objections to criticisms of the calorimetry, but they counter Pomp's claim with non-technical arguments about how it

Harry and Jones, I do not believe that the discovery of highly-enriched isotopes is the result of fraud. I think that the variable fractions of isotopes between the surface and the bulk of the ash indicates that isotopic enrichment was occurring in-situ. The apparent fact (if true) that
