Jones, I wonder if you are confused by the rating of a CFL being 5000C. The argon in a CFL is not nearly completely ionized, it is a gas discharge, but not a full plasma. Being fully ionized is not necessary for the CLF gas, which is merely there to hold the mercury that emits the UV

I don't think anyone outside of Mills' team can say that he has made even 1W of excess heat from any of his devices. The one quick bomb calorimetry demo done was very crude calorimetry, was not believable, and a paper was not published on it. If Mills wants to convince his critics, he should

Bib, Wow! you guys are harsh! I think Mills should be given the benefit of the doubt. He has raised plenty of money & a lot of due diligence has been done over the years. Why should he invite competition by proving anything? Especially with the US Patent office problems. At my age I don't

As I understand the crucial thing to achieve good evidences is to close the reactor and run it for long enough time with plain old water bath calormetry. Previously he had to shut down the experiment after just a short time. Closing the system can reveal new caveats and difficulties so this step

The smallest known star that astronomers have found is named OGLE-TR-122b. Its radius is accurately measured at 167,000 km. That makes it 20% larger than planet Jupiter but like most stars, it is radiating energy in a way which indicates that nuclear fusion has been underway for billions of
