Re: [Vo]:Heat is the principal signature of the reaction

[Mike Carrell]

This discussion ignores the elephant in the room. a) Heat is *fundamental* 
and scalar, particles and radiation are not. Because it is fundamental, many 
factors affect heat and careful experimental technique is essential. b) 
Commercial value [i.e. money] is for utility for motive power and 
electricity. Even the Tokomaks and ITER output will be *heat*. Until LENR 
devices/systems produce *heat* cheaply and reliably all else is academic 
busywork. Particles, in particular, are peculiar pointers to pertinate 
features but are not the main act.
