I don't have the time to review the huge amount of literature you people have already looked at ... if any of you, Rothwell included, would like to help build a list of successful experiments I'd be happy to build it into an article with full attribution to all contributors. I'd like to see a list that includes:
- where - when - technology - run time - COP - experimenters and affiliations - observers and affiliations - references I think such a list would be very useful in public discussions about the reality of cold fusion.
