The scary thing about the flow of information is this bit which appeared in the Indian Press:
"Igor Goryachev, a scientist from Research Institute of Nuclear Instrumentation, Russia, said there has been considerable interest in LENR projects in his country. "Interestingly, oil tycoons have started investing in this project," he said." Geeze, all we need now in LENR is to get the Russian Mafia involved . I guess if you are going to have sphincters, then you must accept the a--holes that come with them. From: Frank Subject: [Vo]:Re: #CF hypothesis (was Re: surface electron layer catalyzed fusion hypothesis) Excellent model (sphincter) that explains why H and D don't interchange very well between Ni and Pd! I prefer things in layman's terms anyway since this nut isn't going to be cracked until after an engineer actually makes it a feat accomplished. This is still a multi horse race in many respects thanks to the selfless contributions by groups like vortex that are analyzing and suggesting principles in a public forum. A large company or foreign nation can come up to speed and compete with the present contenders in a very short period of time with these resources at hand and be in a position to out fund the present participants almost effortlessly. Although BLP and Rossi appear to be the leaders, this week we heard mention of Brillouienergy http://www.brillouinenergy.com/GodesIE82.pdf , we know Energetics is still in the race and I am sure Arrata and Spawars are still looking for a way to bring their research up to practical levels. I maintain this remains anybody's race to win with a strong possibility the winner will come out of left field from a totally unrecognized entity. Fran
