There is no chemical fuel in the cell, so assuming the heat is real, cold fusion is the only likely source of heat. Also, it resembles many other cold fusion reactors. I think you are the one that is leaping to conclusions here. > No, I am not. Anyone familiar with the cold fusion literature will see that I'm not. Evidently you have not read it and you know nothing about it, so you make simple mistake such as this one. > Maybe wait for some kind of ash analysis first... > We do not yet know what sort of ash Ni-H cold fusion reactions produce. If Storms is correct, the ash is deuterium which is impossible to detect with this configuration. I will say, though Jed, kudos for expressing such confidence in an > experiment so easily replicated. > You are completely wrong again. I have repeatedly said I'm only assuming that the measurements are correct and that this is cold fusion. "Assuming" in this context means the statement is conditional, or hypothetical; i.e. "suppose to be the case, without proof."

You claim near-ESP ability to understand and predict of other people's perceptions -- to within 1%! -- yet you do not even recognize that a clearly stated assumption means I put no credibility at stake. I am saying that *IF* X is true, Y and Z follow. IF the measurements are correct, it follows that this is probably cold fusion, and IF it is cold fusion, it will often continue indefinitely until you quench it. - Jed
