Dear Dennis, Re going from small experiment to grand system: I think actually there are two steps: - low intensity, low reliability excess heat; (LENR) - high intensity enhanced excess heat (LENR+) The main difference is the mechanism of NAE-genesis and the temporal density of these active sites. LENR+ is a highly dynamic process. LENR can be scaled up only via LENR+. What Rossi has found is this enhancement; he has problems with controlling it. Defkalion -is creating engineering of an other variant of LENR + See please for example: http://egooutpeters.blogspot.ro/2013/02/strategic-principles-of-lenr-and-their.html the sequel to it and few other New Energy writings on my blog Ego Out.
The great question is: what has George Miley, LENR or LENR+?
