Yeah, I have the same feeling Mark. It can not be too long now before the prize is delivered to mankind. I waited on the sideline for those many years, looking every so often to see if anything had poked its head upward. When I saw the Rossi demonstrations, I knew that the time had come to begin following cold fusion devices again. It was a long dry spell, but I just knew that there was something behind the work of P&F since they were incredibly talented scientists. Do you recall that there was a great deal of interest in near room temperature superconductors at around the same time? I had hope for that technology as well, but it seems to have slowed down even more than LENR. Perhaps it will revive soon.
Unfortunately, I just had to replace my heat pump due to its old age! I waited as long as I could, so now I guess I will have to obtain a LENR-generator combination to handle my needs. It could be worse. We should all be proud to have recognized a technology that will be immensely beneficial and rapidly deployed.

I am beginning to feel there’s a trend to see more theoretical papers about ‘deuterated metal lattices’ and other titles which indicate the theorists have begun to see this as respectable and a very challenging problem which their minds crave to solve… although still somewhat avoiding the CF word. When one factors in the human aspect, Nobel prizes and other professional accolades and notoriety, this has reached the critical momentum that nothing can stop it now. There ain’t no way this genie could get stuffed back into the bottle now… I don’t care how much $ or influence that entity might have, the genie is free!! Reminds me of Robin Williams’ portrayal as the genie in the animated movie, Aladdin, where at the end, the ‘thief’ had a choice for a third wish between wishing that his love interest would still love him after he confesses to her that he’s not a prince, or he could do the right thing as promised to the genie and grant his freedom… he wished the genie ‘free’. It was the right thing to do, and it was a good feeling. Well, I’m kinda feeling like that now! And for all of us who have been following this saga for 23 frickin’ years, it a pretty dam good feeling! It won’t happen overnight, but it WILL happen in our lifetime. -Mark From: David Roberson [mailto:dlrober...@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2012 4:16 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:Defkalion GT at NIWeek2012 DGT mentioned that the reacting hydrogen electron was in the vicinity of the proton and nickel atom for a short time period during which the fusion occurred. Does this match quantum physics theory? I thought that there is no way to locate an electron at a particular time and that it is everywhere within its orbital all of the time. Perhaps they are adding support to classical physics in their description. The other possibility is that they really do not understand the mechanism. I bet on the later. It is interesting to see that DGT suggests that a magnetic field is important for the device operation just as I have suspected. Dave
