Well, I'm sure those ramblin' wrecks were a head of their time, and phenanthrene is found in cigarette smoke, and presumably other volatile tars as well... but getting back to what makes it unusual, in regard to FRET - is the photo-activity and fluorescence combined with the aromagnetism. Notice the way the protons located on carbons 4 and 5 on the stick model here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenanthrene almost touch. That would possibly be the active site for some kind of LENR effect. And the fact that the molecule can be aligned easily may shed some light, so to speak on what Mizuno has discovered. Looking back in the archive, I see we did explore some facets of this, esp. in re: Les Case. His effect was difficult to reproduce and it "could have" related to whether phenanthrene was in the starting material or not. http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l@eskimo.com/msg29270.html Jones
