You make some good points about MFMP. I’m not an immediate member of MFMP. I’m volunteering my time/resources when/where I can. If MFMP had more resources, they could certainly do a better job. Do they deserve the resources? I think so. I have nothing but mutual respect for them and what they’re doing. I am sure Bob G has his reasons for making certain statements and I cannot answer for him.
All I know is... We have a strange radiation signal and it needs to be investigated further. First it needs to be reproduced, then it needs to be understood. Once that happens, it may be possible to produce/increase excess heat. We either came across a mistake/error or have possibly unearthed a signal that others have found in the past. This is what Research/Science is all about, isn’t it? Maybe someone out there will now try to replicate this, too. I understand the disappointment of many about what was done with the announcements here. All I can say is, “Hang in there.” We are ... We’re not finished with this yet and there’s more to come. - Mark Jurich From: Eric Walker Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2016 8:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vo]:Re: Big surprise or big dud ?

The detected radiation wasn’t shown to be sourced from the active cell. I am a big fan of the MFMP. But there are many questions that still need to be sorted out. I would suggest that this was an interesting run that highlighted some things that can be focused on and whose measurements should be tightened up for future runs. Here are some statements I'm seeing in Mats Lewan's recent blog post [1]: "The character of the x-ray signal is, according to MFMP, the best way to detect that the replication is successful. The energy of the x-ray photons are between 0 and 300 keV (medical radiography typically uses x-rays between 5 and 150 keV), and there’s a brief but massive burst of x-rays when the reaction starts." (Mats.) "We have said that only two paths would satisfy us: Statistically significant Isotopic or elemental shifts from Fuel to Ash ... Statistically significant emissions commensurate, correlating, or anti correlating to excess heat ... We are happy to tell you that we believe we have satisfied our condition 2" (Bob Greenyer's letter.) "To our extreme surprise, the onset of excess heat followed the massive anomaly in emissions and the minor anomalies were during and only during excess heat." (Bob Greenyer.) I worry that MFMP were premature in making this announcement. The people on LENR Forum are not going to be nice.
