I'm not aware of any peer-reviewed papers on it, and in their presentations, the numbers bounce all over the place. They claim they have hours of output without input, but they can't demonstrate it by actually placing the ignited electrode in an isolated thermos to show the temperature increase. Instead, when 60 minutes did a show on Dardik's company, the best they could come up with for a visual was someone doing calculations in a notebook. Dardik seem no worse that many mainstream medical researchers. > Well, he's no worse than Andrew Wakefield, whose license to practice was revoked for dishonest falsification of results. He's no worse than other researchers who have been sanctioned for quackery. But he is demonstrably worse than researchers who have not. Isn't it interesting that by far the two most publicized experiments in cold fusion in the last decade are those by persons with backgrounds in fraud instead of physics.
