I haven't seen the 22passi discussion, but it is easy to cast doubt on something that happened in the past without actually having been a part of the experiment. It is also disreputable to do so without any real evidence.
I have the opportunity to visit with Dennis Cravens, who is only a few miles away. He shared with me some of the Patterson Cell details. As a retired Motorola researcher, I wanted to hear more about this story. Motorola wanted to buy rights to the Patterson Cell and Dennis was the one that demonstrated it at the Motorola headquarters in Schaumburg IL. I was in a research team in south FL and didn't get to see the demo. However, I was briefed because it was anticipated that Motorola would reach a deal with Patterson and we would have access to the technology for development. I still have some of the briefing documents. At the time, Dennis was working full time with Patterson. The Motorola deal fell through because Patterson wanted to retain more control of his technology - he was trying to create a business for his grandson to run - to set him up in business so to speak. Well, in unfortunate circumstances, Patterson's grandson died. Patterson had trouble replicating his process. Turns out that the plastic beads he used were acquired from a NASA microgravity experiment. They were unique. Second, between the time he made his original beads and when he tried to replicate them, the plating company had changed the formulation of their plating solution. Anyone familiar with electroplating knows about the brightener additives, and other additives that each company adds to try to differentiate their plating solutions. The brighteners are specifically there to modify grain size. Well, Patterson could never recover what he had originally used to produce the LENR-successful plated beads. He passed away without re-discovering a working formula. Dennis still has one of the original working cells at his lab (showed it to me) - one with the original beads and plating. Dr. George Miley has done some analysis of these beads, but apparently his objective was not replication of the original Patterson Cell, but to learn from them what can be applied to other Ni-H LENR. I have every reason to believe the original Patterson Cell results were true and correct.
