even if commercially Cold fusion seems the best (brand is known, with good layman image assumed it works), the fact that it sahre the name with adobe technology, and with many other sentense like jaz fusion or cold drink is a problem for tech-watcher like me... LENR is not shared by any other conc

Last year the same question was raised. My first longitudinal hair cutter opinion was to use LENR (beside being precise and popular, that term is easy to search in google). however after discussing with businessmen, th
