Not conclusive. Giant error band compared to output power data. Has it ever been replicated? Refined? Improved? The run I saw by browsing the paper briefly was five hours. Any longer ones properly documented? Isn't this sort of vague and inconclusive bottom line usually what so-called cold fusion and related papers always seem to produce?
