- So that no misunderstanding is generated by Swartz�s comments, let me state clearly the approach taken at LENR-CANR. We place on the site all published citations we can find to papers that have any relationship to LENR. Twenty-five citations are available to Swartz�s published papers.
Because of Ed Storm's comment -- which again HE brought up --
we have gone to his site and had a closer look.
Previously, it was shown that the LENR CANR site,
which is misnamed with respect to cold fusion and other fantastic
new phenomena such as Ken Shoulders' system, has had some
censorship.
Now, after Ed Storm's comment and subsequent examination,
it appears that accuracy may be another failing problem at the LENR CANR site.
The list of references to published papers at the LENR CANR site
is of marginal accuracy even after the controllers of the site were
given BOTH the papers and the references compiled as a list
(and they are on the web at http://world.std.com/~mica/jetrefs.html )
Detailed Preliminary Analysis of the LENR-CANR listing of Dr. Swartz papers
============= August 22, 2004 ================
The following is preliminary analysis of the LENR-CANR listing of JET/Dr. Swartz papers
which are accurately and correctly listed at http://world.std.com/~mica/jetrefs.html
----------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary analysis of the LENR-CANR listing of Dr. Swartz papers:
Of the "twenty five" references supposedly to articles and publications,
the LENR-CANR site lists 28. There are errors, and some
(3) may be preliminary papers shared with Dr. Storms over the years,
but it is unclear because the information given to LENR-CANR
has been seriously degraded and it is still under review.
Nonetheless, the inaccuracies at the LENR-CANR site, albeit for this
very small sample, are legion. Considering the 25 actual publications listed:
- 8% of the LENR-CANR references supposedly to articles by us are inaccurate about the date
- or had the date removed AFTER Dr. Storms and Jed Rothwell received the information.
- 8% of the LENR-CANR references supposedly to articles by us are inaccurate about the journal
- and had the journal name removed (including the late Dr. Mallove's Infinite Energy)
- even AFTER Dr. Storms and Jed Rothwell received the information.
- 28% of the LENR-CANR references supposedly to articles by us are inaccurate about the journal volume
- and had the journal volume removed AFTER Dr. Storms and Jed Rothwell received the information.
- 24% of the LENR-CANR references supposedly to articles by us are inaccurate about the page number,
- and had the journal volume changed or removed AFTER Dr. Storms and Jed Rothwell received the information.
- 68% of the LENR-CANR references supposedly to articles by us are inaccurate about
- whether the article was theoretical or experimental. My pet macaque could have done better than this.
- 40% of the LENR-CANR references supposedly to articles by us are inaccurate about the keyword error.
- Some are so serious that I am electing to show the entire preliminary analysis, which is listed below.
- 8% of the LENR-CANR references supposedly to articles by us are inaccurate and have left out the
- second reference or had some other significant error using the system which appears to be used
- at LENR-CANR website.
- or had the date removed AFTER Dr. Storms and Jed Rothwell received the information.
With my sophomoric training in psychiatry, one reason for such a change in this setting,
is that it might herald something else. The paper involves a meeting at LENR-2 in Texas. Great meeting.
I had the pleasure to meet Barry Merriman and others there, too.
There, at LENR-2, Texas, Dr. Storms was informed that platinum alone, after being exposed to
contamination involving the Group VIII materials (previously described regarding cold fusion),
can be elicited to demonstrate very low grade excess heat. The mean of the distribution
was just slightly above the break-even axis, but the range of results fell on both sides
of the line (above and below break-even, 100% compared to fully calibrated ohmic control
after waveform reconstruction) The key was the deposits. Some were actually shown there,
and Dr. Bockris and I and others spoke it, It was seen by Dr. Storms, and perhaps recorded
by Akira Kawasaki (if memory serves, who I think was doing a video tape at that time).
Although the paper covered many areas, the gist of contamination was that very small amounts of nickel,
gold, platinum and other materials used in cold fusion system could arrive at the cathode
(including from the air, and especially from the anode). These deposits can
be observed to plate out on the cathode even though by conventional thinking they do not,
and do not exist (for platinum and gold as anodes).
For the gold forms, I showed a series of color slides obtained using photo microscopy
documenting a group of dark golden-brown-cathodic-developing materials
(which in grunge fashion others now call "crud") which developed with
even with pure (5 9's) gold as the anode. They developed for platinum, palladium and nickel, too,
but were most colorful for gold, (and were the easiest to see and show) as was demonstrated then.
Our efforts and my slides on excess power and energy which developed
on such contaminated platinum cathodic surfaces did reveal the possibility of very low grade excess heat
on contaminated platinum which did not occur on the virgin platinum.
Most importantly, it was dwarfed by the excess heat of a properly designed and operated unit.
However, it was reported as significant by us at LENR-2 (Texas, hosted by Hal Fox and
Prof. John O'Bockris) because we had carefully measured the noise levels
and used thermal ohmic and other calibrations.
