Ø In this field, researchers often appropriate other people's work as proof of their own claims. Mills does that a lot. The people he cites often disagree. In some cases they have no idea he is citing them. I am not saying that is unethical. It is perfectly okay; just as it is okay to cite the work of a researcher who died long ago. And conversely, sometimes an experimenter does not want to acknowledge other work partially confirming his own results but in a way that his IP does not anticipate. To wit: Randell Mills almost certainly has been seeing tritium in the water arc discharge of the Sun Cell. Given Claytor’s results, how could he not see T under such similar circumstances?? My memory is hazy on this, and it is seldom mentioned, but back in the early 1990s Randell Mills actually reported finding tritium in an article he wrote for Fusion Technology Magazine, and then went quiet on the subject (probably following the advice of his patent attorney). The point being this: 25 years ago, Mills knew that tritium would be produced from the nickel hydrogen reaction when electric arcs are present, but he has avoided it like the plague since then – since his patent applications and theory have value only if they aren’t nuclear. But the weirdest thing of all is that tritium should be seen ONLY in deuterium reactions… yet it is seen with pure hydrogen, even for Claytor. And the larger irony is that this result probably confirms that even the cold fusion version of this reaction is based on fractional deuterium (since neutrons are not witnessed)… and all done in a way that would potentially void Mills’ IP, since what we have is the real fusion of a fractional species… … which is to say that the correct theory was never “either-or” but “both together”.
