My oh my, what a heated discussion! I hate to disappoint you Walter, but I don't see myself as the savior of cold fusion, or anything else, for that matter. I agree with Keith. You should try the experiment yourself. I doubt if my experiment or it's results are unique. I did this trial myself just to see if all the postings I had read about it might be true and for the same reason you should.
I doubt if I had fifty bucks into this bit of "scientific research". I bought a rather high power DC supply in a surplus store for $10. And as I recall (this was about ten years ago) the spectroscopic grade carbon rods were $30. These rods come with an analysis sheet showing how pure they are. I still have some of the rods, but seem to have lost the sheet. There was essentially no iron in them. You really must do this. It's probably less time consuming than this discussion. It's certainly not expensive, nor does it require special knowledge. As for Mr. Randi's prize, I have no interest in trying to convince him or his cohorts of anything. Besides, a million dollars just doesn't do it for me anymore;) As Jed has eloquently pointed out, Randi makes the rules up as he goes along. Jed has also stated that he is not Michael Foster. Isn't he lucky? M. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
