Although LENR supporters will be impressed at first glance, the biggest problems – already being mentioned - and they could be fatal to wider acceptance, are that Levi remains the lead author and the lack of reliable calorimetry, and the strange isotope shifts. Look at these ! Bizarre and telling (to the extent they can be believed) !
Appendix 3, Table 1 seems to propose – on first glance - that the gain is coming from Ni58 being converted to Ni62 by stripping four neutrons from 4 atoms of Li7 to convert it to Li6. Wow but there is no gamma radiation or remnant emission from the ash. That M.O. is the first time this has come up but of course – lithium has been a known reactant since the start/. Is there a better explanation? I will have to admit to being both impressed with the detail and the equipment used, but mildly disappointed on first read – not so much that I do not believe this, but knowing how it will be received in a wider audience. This is probably not going to be the instant bombshell, or extremely well-prepared announcement from truly independent scientists that we had hoped for. However, it could mature to that level if this lithium transfer of neutrons can be independently established. And this could actually happen quickly. There has been interest in lithium, going back decades - in being among the few elements which can densify other elements, in the sense of being able to be completely absorbed into the electron shell instead of being covalently bound. I know of a Lab which has been looking into this lithium phenomenon for many years – off-and-on. It is possible that a truly independent confirmation of a lithium neutron transfer has been seen with another host, one which could lead to this result – and it will carry the day - but that could take a few weeks. Unfortunately there are some nuclear proliferation issues involved. From: Foks0904 Also wasn't this supposed to have been carried out by others beside Levi, Essen, and company? I don't see any new names here. Not that it matters to me, but won't we just hear the same bullshit objections that it's a "inside job"? It's here! And it's positive! I suppose not too shocking to any of us here. COP looks very healthy and somewhere in between French's magic numbers and Jones'/Brian Ahern's speculations. Also looks like the ash changed significantly indicating some kind of novel nuclear reaction, as indicated by Miles, McKubre, and many others from past PdD work. But I haven't looked it over thoroughly enough yet. Fun days ahead folks! Craig Haynie wrote: A very positive test.
