Gnorts! One of the misconceptions regarding the research done by private industry is that private industry would publish their work, or even let it be known that work was being done in a particular field by that industry in the first place. Private industry only reports on what it does if

Knuke said it better than me. Back in 1965 our company paid $1000 bucks for a Friden " colonel Boggy" mechanical calculator,the big boy with a thousand gears, an absolute work of art in mechanical computing for flow equations. Within a year or two, we bought a Sharp electronic calculator

Dr. Swartz, if you have a problem with what Jed or I have done with your papers, take it up with us personally. Do not waste the time of everyone on Vortex. They can not solve your problem. God knows, Jed has tried and failed. Ed Storms Mitchell Swartz wrote: At 09:52 AM 1/26/2005, Jed

RC, I, like Jed, question your assertions. While I agree with you that the Japanese are taking this more seriously than the U.S., your claims seem greatly exaggerated. Do you have any evidence to back them up or to demonstrate how you might know this? At 10:13 AM 1/26/2005 -0500, you wrote: RC

Physics Today appears to have come down heavy, and somewhat inaccurately, on the DOE report. Claims of cold fusion are no more convincing today than they were 15 years ago. That's the conclusion of the Department of Energy's fresh look at advances in extracting energy from low-energy nuclear
