Daniel, you may be correct. I do not know. However, both Akito Takahashi and Hideo Kozima may regard W-L viable. See -- Second “Cold Fusion” Theorist Cites Widom-Larsen Theory http://blog.newenergytimes.com/2011/12/23/second-cold-fusion-theorist-cites-widom-larsen-theory/ Takahashi appears to

No, Takashi used the weak force in the sense of finding a cross section for the reaction electron proton, but he laid a very harsh criticism on WL theory and make it clear the difference between the approaches. In fact, he didn't take WL seriously. 2011/12/30 pagnu...@htdconnect.com Daniel,

Krivit finally convinced me : LENR Researcher Refuses to Abandon Fusion Term http://blog.newenergytimes.com/2011/12/29/lenr-researcher-refuses-to-abandon-fusion-term/ that neutron capture (and subsequent decay to a proton) is NOT fusion, per wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_capture

Again, I am not sure. Looking at the slide on p.105 at JCF12 Abstracts at-- http://newenergytimes.com/v2/conferences/2011/JCF12/JCF12ExtendedAbstracts.pdf -- I see the reaction 59Ni + e- 59Co + v + Q I cannot read Japanese, but this looks like a heavy electron capture, but that is just a

There have been many disputes in the history of cold fusion. They have been about theory, experimental results, and in some cases politics and personality. In my opinion, this dispute, as carried on by Larsen and Krivit, is the most absurd. It is the most pointless. I do not mean that theory is

Well said. It is what it is, the FPE which: 1) Generates excess heat. 2) Generates very little radiation. 3) Transmutes elements up and down the scale. Maybe call it the PSE (Philosopher's Stone Effect)? Nah calling it the FPE is good enough. BTW pass another box of hot buttered popcorn

The war against the phrase cold fusion seems to derive from some sort of attempt at spin control on the whole affair. At some level, if the phrase cold fusion can be debunked then the physics establishment can save face in the eyes of the vast majority of the population. It is that concern that

Bout time for some to wake up and stop claiming as fact what is obviously not fact. What is fact is we do not know what is happening and until we do know what is happening there is no point in claiming what is and is not fact. What we know as fact: 1) It is called the Fleischmann and Ponds
