This test will not work. Cold fusion does not produce neutrons and it seldom produces radiation. I have told you that before. If you do not believe me, please review the literature on your own. Well that's inconvenient, isn't it? So we just look for anomalous heat and nothing else? No,

If you don't read the literature, you won't be able to tell apart what is logical to what is illogical. I disagree. Rossi's claim is different from most of the others in cold fusion because it is so extravagant -- I mean come on! A megawatt for six months on a handful of inexpensive fuel?

It's also possible that cold fusion occurs in nature, and through the eons, the copper we see around us is the product of the same reaction. What reaction is that?
