Eric, you need to consider what a magnetic field really is when it is
measured in space 20 cm from an object in which the field is
generated. Such fields either result from a very large DC current or a
very efficient alignment of magnetic domains in the material. The
alignment must be accomplished by an applied DC current because
otherwise the domains would have random alignment no matter how
intense the local magnetic field might be. The only current passing
through the device is claimed to produce a plasma inside the metal
container and the plasma is being generated by an AC current. Even if
a DC current were used, the field could not exceed the known magnetic
effect of the rather modest current. In short, the claim, if true, is
even more amazing than is the CF effect itself because it violates
basic understanding of magnetic behavior. A more logical explanation
is that the gauss meter and the other instruments nearby were
responding to the effect of RF emission obtained from a Maser effect
produced in the cavity. Since we know nothing useful about the
observation, any attempt at an explanation is useless and only makes
the effort look stupid.

Peter, a magnetic field has not been discovered. A claim has been
made without any evidence or even a logical explanation. The
claimed high intensity of a magnetic field is impossible under the
circumstance. Therefore the reading on the gauss meter was
misinterpreted. Until this issue is resolved, all discussion is
pointless and a waste of time. The time out is necessary for this
obvious error to be explained and corrected.
My sentiments are similar, except that I don't have as strong an
opinion about the impossibility of a field of that strength.
There is one reason, unfortunately, for claiming a large magnetic
field -- to provide an explanation for the thick shielding around
the reactor that differs from the straightforward and obvious one.
(I wish I had heard firsthand the statement about the shielding
protecting electronics from the magnetic field; without having done
so, I'm not sure exactly what the claim was.)
