These people are not fools, and their claims are not "nonsense."
No, it is your claim which is nonsense, not theirs !
I am sure they have a good reason for using boron, and I am sure their boron
cathodes worked well.
Yes they DO have good reason! The nuclear reactivity of boron.
Perhaps that was a coincidence, and their reasons
for selecting this alloy are invalid, but Imam knows a lot about
metallurgy and he has good reasons.
Precisely the point why they would never use boron unless it were active
in the nuclear sense. Did you even look at the patent?
Without knowing more, it would be FAR more accurate to surmise that
boron would NEVER be used by any sane person unless it played a key
role in the nuclear reaction itself.
Without knowing more . . . it is dangerous to jump to conclusions. I
suggest you learn more before yelling "nonsense."
You still do not get it, do you?
Geeze! I suggest you read prior postings more carefully before jumping
into a thread with a silly comment that only highlight the point that
you have not understood the original context.
Bottom line, since apparently I must spell it out for you: either Miles
or Storms is wrong about boron being active in LENR, and my comment
initially mentioning Miles work was NOT to disparage Miles at all, but
to implicitly use his patent as an indication to Ed that boron is active
in at least some types of LENR.... without saying "Ed you may be right
about the glow discharge, but are wrong about the more general case".
