Can you rationalize how the "cold" in a certain kind of cold fusion experiment can, in effect, become suddenlyvery, very hot: Hot enough for thermonuclear fusion, in fact? Let's assume for the moment that a nuclear reaction occurs rarely at a few hundred degrees K in a highly stressed metal

Hi Ed. Presumable you mean this paper. http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/StormsEuseofavery.pdf I had a few questions about the Letts work; true to form you addressed them all in the paper. That you saw no resonant peak for laser frequency is a critical observation; given the fractal nature of

Regarding the use of cold fusion as a weapon, Martin Fleischmann has expressed concerns about this in the past, but he recently told me he thought the Popular Mechanics cover illustration was excessive. He said: There is, of course, a connection between Cold Fusion and the National Security

Hi Bill. You need to read the paper in question; Jones is presenting Ken's quote without the necessary context. What Ken is driving at is that the EV contains a substantial amount of like charge in a small volume. The forces being balanced by such a structure would, at least superficially, seem
