My power supply blew up shortly afterwards and although I have bought
some new ones (they are only a few pounds) I have not set it up again as
it has been rather overtaken by events

If I remember correctly it was something like that. The counter had to
be very close to register clicks, such that it was consistent with alpha
particles, but it was not stopped by a peice of paper, which would have
stopped alpha particles, but which would allow through a voltage transient.

What was the approach you used to determine
Yes Jed, and the more advanced the technology generally, the narrow the
range of success becomes.
This failure sharing idea might work ok if we were designing plows or
wagons, but even something as basic as the internal combustion engine is
too complex and has too narrow a range of success for
in fact in my school (ESIEE), multilevel neuronal network were fashion
(Yann Lecun was a reference as ancient from the school).
what was limiting was compute power (we were thinking about specialized
hardware mimicking life)...
Experts systems were more applicable, like natural language processing

Yes! That is an important point. Unfortunately, failure is a more likely
outcome. There are countless way to make an experiment

Tried a silver 22 gauge wire in hydrogen and then helium at one atm.
I put the wire and the gas in a small plastic bottle upside down so in case it
blew
up it would project no shrapnel. Wires for the RF stimulation enter at the
bottom.
The wire was stimulated with RF (1 to

often point to avenues for improvement. Most often, this is not an
"either/or"
In the specific case of LENR/cold fusion, vortex-l provides an excellent
source of this sort of information. There have been a number of times
when I have searched the archive to find whether something had been
tried or considered and found the information from a discussion at some
point in
So if that was done with cold fusion...
IMO failures in experimental sciences are too specific for it to be
meaningful.
It might have limited application, but mostly, I don't see it, too often
success and failure is just an inch apart.

Excellent article.
I have found that it is possible to find out some of the failures by
going to conferences and talking with people. For every field there is
usually someone who knows what has been done, and what has worked and
what has not. The problem is that this is very hit and miss
