Mary, there are serious problems with Rossi's demonstrations that we are all aware of. It is apparent to me that he has a very difficult problem trying to maintain stability of the power output and I have been doing some interesting simulation that tends to support this claim. The October 6 test data shows a clear fingerprint of LENR heat production which I hope to explain soon. All of the other models that I have seen thus far do not respond in a manner that comes even close to explaining the anomaly. These models have been based upon energy storage and release from a large mass of material inside the smaller cube. A better explanation for the curve can be obtained by assuming that a large peak of excess thermal energy is released at the end of the drive cycle due to an inherently unstable thermal run away process that is quenched just before it becomes unstoppable.

There certainly is. And most should go to investigators who don't provide clear and unequivocal, independently replicated and properly controlled and calibrated studies using the best state of the art methodology. You've been asked again and again to provide a SINGLE credible paper which shows robust heat production for a long period without the introduction of Joule heating or fresh fuel, thus proving without a doubt a nuclear process. I have yet to see such a paper. You expect critics to believe that LENR is real because of large volumes of papers which are convoluted, often badly written and always needlessly complex. That won't help LENR research. A single properly conducted experiment with robust results and no question of deception would have convinced everyone about Rossi or Defkalion specifically and LENR in general long ago. We're still waiting for it while you say it happened but you can't say who, what and where. We're still waiting for it while you make excuses for obvious tangential responses and evasive posts by Rossi and Defkalion. That is not what they and you should do to make the field credible. You should attack them and not the critics. The critics are the only ones who make sense. A single good result in LENR could not possibly be suppressed. In this internet age, there is no way it could happen. Look at all the attention and acclaim given to Rossi and for what?
