Jed-- I forgot to mention the Japanese ( I think Misuno) R&D work. They are not above spoon feeding. They even pay as a dessert course. I trust you remember your job as a consultant on calorimetric measurements for their experiments. As I recall Dave Robertson with my input finally convinced you that the ambient air temperature had an influence on the water cooling system temperatures in the Japanese tests. So much for the adequacy of HVAC knowhow.
You have a short memory, if you think the Government’s opposition to cold fusion is “simply absurd.” Bob Cook From: Jed Rothwell Sent: Monday, May 09, 2016 4:39 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:Re: Let's continue to think about passive vs active approach to LENR 's existentil problems Bob Cook <frobertc...@hotmail.com> wrote: I think I understand why you believe NASA the Navy and elsewhere, as well as the venture capitalists—they have spoon-feed you. Most of them are the same government/energy village, not unlike the “nuclear village in Japan, that has tried to discount the LENR technology development for the last 27 years at the great expense of civilization IMHO. Oh give me a break. That's such nonsense. Such unfounded, ignorant bullshit! You have no idea what you are talking about. Do you think I was born yesterday? I can judge people and judge facts myself. I have independent confirmation of the events with NASA. Everyone there told me the same story, and even Rossi confirmed it in his own way, attacking them as snakes etc. I saw the documents. More to the point, nearly every dollar of support for cold fusion has come from governments, mainly in Italy, but also in Japan and the U.S. DARPA, NASA and others are the only friends we have. Most researchers worked for the government. The leading people in the field such as Martin Fleischmann, Ed Storms, Pam Boss and Tadahiko Mizuno never worked a day in their lives for anyone but the government. To say that the government opposes cold fusion is simply absurd. Of course there are factions in the government opposed to it. But there are no factions in private industry in favor of it, anywhere. Why do you think that the Navy and NASA gave up reporting on the Pd-D system which they developed and continue to develop IMHO. There are no more reports because no one is doing research. They are all retired, or dead. If they were still working, I would know about it. Everything the government does is an open book. This is the only program they were,in the past, able to discuss—the rest were dark programs in my not-so-humble opinion. There are no dark programs. They tried to replicate Ni-H and got nowhere. They offered Rossi enormous support. Everything he asked for: millions of dollars with no strings attached. He turned them down flat, after nearly killing them. I do have a good idea who you have talked to, since you have identified them over the 2 plus years I have participated in the Vortex-l blog. I have no reason to hide the names! Everyone knows I mean Jim Dunn, Mike Nelson and others. If you don't believe my account, ask them yourself. Why would they lie about this? - Jed
