I think that comparative calorimetry is not accpetable, not needed, given the hysteric level of skepticism and the high COP. Absolute measurement of heat, not even with blank, should be the only and best solution. no hysterical skeptic will assume the blank is sincere, ... even the absolute

yes, and seeing the story of LENR compared to other extraordinary claims, I think that the problem of LENr is that it requires much intelligence, competence, trust in instruments, in computation, in good protocol, that it is too easy for a lazy mind (like me sometime) to quickly conclude that it

Hi all, I wanted to ask you how to best do a test proving LENR. After following this for a short time I would probably try something like this, I would use two teams 1. The testers, people well versed in LENR and know how to make the classic FP experiment work. 2. The skeptics, a scientific team

Hi Eric, I'm not up to speed with your emails. The LENR+ type of activities is still something that if proper tests are done and affirmative, will be much more interesting, this is clear. But I would like to keep the discussion to the original FP experiment. I think this would be an
