Here is an exchange with Chatbot 1, which holds one of McKubre’s papers,
plus part of the ASCII Bibliography, authors A through C. That's the most
it can hold.
You can see that it does not answer some of the questions. The ASCII
Bibliography has abstracts by Czerwinski, so it should have found them.
Perhaps the format is not organized well enough for ChatGPT to sort out
what goes with what. Yesterday, I asked it a question from the McKubre
paper that it answered correctly, but for some reason it could not find the
answer today. The question was: "What is typical initiation time for a cold
fusion experiment?" For some reason, it came up with "500 hours." I do not
know where that came from.
Hello! What can I do for you today?
Have neutrons been observed with natural hydrogen?
Yes, neutrons have been observed with natural hydrogen in cold fusion
experiments. This was reported in a review of the most convincing
observations of neutrons in Cold Fusion history up to recent experiments in
which neutrons were so numerous and long lasting so as to allow activation
of thermal detectors.
What authors described neutrons with natural hydrogen?
There is no information in the provided data about authors describing
neutrons with natural hydrogen.
What papers were presented at ICCF5?
There is no information in the provided data about papers presented at
ICCF5.
Summarize work by Czerwinski.
There is no information in the provided data about work by Czerwinski.
What information is there about the screening effect?
There is information in the provided data about the screening effect. The
screening energy dependence on target material has been established
experimentally and theoretical calculations have been performed within an
improved dielectric function theory. The theory describes correctly the
observed target material dependence of the screening energies,
underestimating, however, the absolute values by about a factor of 2. The
electron screening effect has been enhanced for d + d fusion reactions in
metallic environments. The dielectric function theory enables an
extrapolation of experimental cross sections determined at higher energies
down to room temperature, leading to an enhancement of the fusion reaction
rates by a factor of 1040 compared to the value predicted for the deuterium
molecule.
What authors described the screening effect?
Authors who described the screening effect include Czerski, Heide, Huke,
Cuevas, Fernandez, Sanchez, Cunnane, Scannell, Schiffrin, Biller, Hoeft,
Ruprecht, Chen, Wang, Li, Fu, Zhang, Chicea, Arista, Gras-Marti, and
Baragiola.
What is typical initiation time for a cold fusion experiment?
The provided data does not give a specific answer to the question about the
typical initiation time for a cold fusion experiment. However, it does
mention that the duration of the switch-on time and whether a given
electrode will commence to show nuclear activity within 500 hours of the
beginning of electrolysis remain unclear.
Is there any mention of author Gary Taubes in this dataset?
Yes, there is mention of journalist Gary Taubes in the provided data. He
wrote an article in Science about electrodes and there is a paper by J.
Bockris titled "The Answer to the Conundrum at Texas A & M: Accusations of
Fraud in an Article Published by 'Science'" which may be related to Taubes'
article.
Why does McKubre think doubts still exist in the broader scientific
community?
According to the provided data, McKubre believes that doubts still exist in
the broader scientific community regarding Low Energy or Lattice Enhanced
Nuclear Reactions (LENR) because it is crucial and timely to expose and
elaborate what objections or reservations exist with regard to these new
understandings. He also believes that it is important to clarify in
non-specialist terms what is known and what is understood in the general
field of LENR.
What does McKubre say about initiation time?
The provided data does not give a specific answer to the question about
initiation time. However, it does mention that the duration of the
switch-on time and whether a given electrode will commence to show nuclear
activity within 500 hours of the beginning of electrolysis remain unclear.
What level of loading did Fleming describe?
The provided data states that Fleming et al from Bell Labs reported even
lower loading results in a negative report, but it does not provide a
specific number for the loading level described.
