I once read a hilarious Japanese magazine article about Iwamura's
research. It included a comparison table and several paragraphs
explaining the "differences" between his claims and cold fusion. The
author was bent over backwards trying to make a distinction between
the two, and came up with several imaginary differences. The table
said had rows such as:
EFFECT REPLICATED? Iwamura: Yes Cold fusion: No
CLAIMED TO PRODUCES ENERGY? Iwamura: No Cold fusion: Yes
The author was apparently unaware of the fact that Iwamura's early
papers report energy production. The CF effect in his present system
is far too small to produce measurable energy, but I am sure it does
produce energy.
