Axil,
I too think Mills has something with great promise. I don't know enough
exotic physics to pass judgement on his GUT but it seems he has made
some good points that have not been answered by his critics.
I don't see how you can claim Rossi's reaction would harm nearby
electronics as that would have been obvious from the plant
instrumentation and it's not.
Likewise I wouldn't count Rossi out yet. He's run far more experiments
than anybody else and gone from small to large and back to small again.
I think he is being conservative in what he now claims. The QuarkX is 2
cm long by 6 mm dia producing 20 watts minimum. I suspect the increased
size is because he is counting the tubular shield around it that
converts the radiation to heat.The earlier Quarks were much smaller and
ran up to 100 Watts, so he has something to play with. He says he is
working with a turbine company and one can see how the QuarkX would be a
good match at 1400C.

I have recently said that Rossi's technology...a lithium 7 burner...
would be regulated by the nuclear authorities. I have recently said

have recently said that Rossi's reaction is producing muons by the ton
and would disable any electronics within a mile through EMF
interference. Rossi's tech will not be a trillion dollar technology
because of these limitations. Rossi's tech is a low density power
producer so that his reactors are stable and will not melt down. On
the other hand, BLP produces high density power without lithium and
the fear of meltdown.
I am now an ardent admirer of Mills who has solve most of the issues
inherent in high power density LENR reactor design. I love high power
density in a reactor.
Mills can get top of the line power density out of just hydrogen fuel
without melting down the reactor, something that Rossi has been trying
to do for years now.
The liquid electron idea is great and its implementation is even
better. You can't meltdown something that is already melted. An
miracle upon miracles is the self driven plasma reaction that can last
for minutes without input stimulation. No one would have ever imagined
that this astounding feat was even possible.
And most satisfy trait of all, Mills is completely open and will
explain how is tech works.
Rossi on the other hand has sacrificed power density for 5 sigma. He
has cut his power density by a factor of 1000 to keep his reactor from
early destruction. Low reactor power density paves the road to system
failure.
Mills can improve power density even more by adding CAT/MOUSE based
multi electrode operation. Mills can add magnetic protection to his
structure to produce a hot fusion/LENR hybrid design with huge power
density...a 100 megawatt reactor in a breadbox.
