Jones, There too many theories to be partisan. They all may be wrong. First - E-C cannot occur in hydrogen. Probably true, but plasma is not hydrogen. Plasma e-p wave functions are not stationary. Second - I agree - relativistic collisions can be ruled out. That's why I conjectured direct

I believe that W=L theory proposes that LENR is initiated by strong focusing of E-M fields on metal hydride surfaces. I may be misunderstanding, but wouldn't activation energy loss be too small to detect in the energy released? I don't understand Jones Beenes' point. If correct - how do neutrons

Too many points to address. Perhaps, the Celani-Srivastava presentation at the March 22 CERN LENR Colloquium will discuss them, since Srivastava is a proponent. Jones Beene wrote: Well - all of us on vortex would love to be able to focus on a consistent theory that works. W-L theory seems

I have a hard time seeing why Rossi would pay any attention to this: (1) If his e-cat is real, $1M is a miniscule distraction. (2) If it's a mistake or fraud, replying would foolish. On 2012-02-14 17:14, Chemical Engineer wrote: _Smith Offers $1 Million Prize for Successful E-Cat Demo_

Better still, if Smith is convinced the e-cat is not real, why not pledge the $1M to a worthy cause if it's not verified by end of 2012? - or offer bets through an on-line site like intrade.com? Otherwise, it's hard to be sure he's not a flamboyant publicity seeker. An X-Prize would be an

Rossi is certainly an enigmatic character, but it is highly improbable that he would slow his race with Defkalion if they both have real LENR technology for such a small amount, nor would Rossi accept it if e-cat is a fraud. Either way, Smith can be pretty sure his offer will receive no response.
