Hi Jed, did you also listen to the previous podcast episode, which was released 4 days ago, where Ruby Carat was interviewing Dr. Edmund Storms? "2019/01/13 e019 Edmund Storms, Nuclear chemist with Kiva Labs and former Los Alamos National Laboratory rocket scientist. There, his work involved basic research in the field of high temperature chemistry as applied to materials used in nuclear power and propulsion reactors, including studies of cold fusion since 1989. Experimental work included finding tritium generated from Fleischmann-Pons cells and discovering many properties of the reaction, such as high-loading is not necessary to generate or sustain a reaction. Dr. Storms is the author of The Science of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction, a survey of the experiments and theories of the field through 2007, and, The Explanation of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction, A Comprehensive Compilation of Evidence and Explanations about Cold Fusion, describing some of the main models of LENR, as well as a new idea based on hydrogen-filled nano-spaces as the nuclear active environment."
