Leaving aside for the moment that he was working with the controversial Randall Mills, a professor from University of Illinois has affixed his good name to evidence that non-chemistry-based heat is produced when a copper hydroxide/copper bromide mixture is heated to 300C in a differential scanning

Well, the professor should be questioned, if not chided - about what is not seen and not reported, instead of what is seen and glossed over. This is substandard, at best. It is an interesting experiment BUT it is one that looks more like the Rossi effect than Mills. Heat is added to

Well, Jones, to be fair to Dr Glumac, I do not see where he is verbalizing support for Mills' theoretical underpinnings. Scientific progress is based on having the funds and initiative to move forward. It is not surprising that as a contractee to Mills, Glumac was not asked to check for photon

It would have been interesting to see a assay of the elements present in the sample before an after the experiment. This is a means to find out if any transmutation resulted from the experiment. Did the gas pressure inside the test cell increase? Was helium produced? It would be interesting to

Perhaps the initial response was too harsh … as this could be important – but Mills has a long history of trying to “buy” academic support for his theory, in various subtle ways like this – with the result being that at least one Professor was fired for not disclosing the personal contacts and

FWIW if you take a look at Dr Glumac's faculty directory page he does list himself as a consultant for Blacklight Power. That seems to be an out-in-the-open disclosure of contact. This guy might turn out to be a valuable ally, would be interesting to hear from him. Steve High On Sun, May 25,

A patent disclosure that, in its preferred embodiment, does not make beneficial use practical to those skilled in the art is no patent disclosure at all. Attempting to define skilled in the art so narrowly that such skill can practically be treated as a trade secret, vitiates the patent. On
