I am hopeful that the work you describe is valid and will lead to something useful. To restate, my interest here is limited. I find it amazing and amusing that anyone believes Rossi and Defkalion on the strength of what they have done (and not done) thus far. So I follow their story, hoping it will get better but finding out it keeps getting worse. And if Aussie Guy really has cells that run continuously and indefinitely at a COP of 5x over a 1 Watt input, I'd find that interesting as well. I sort of doubt that he has such cells and that they will work the way he hopes. I am also amused by his claim that he is going to get an E-cat to test. I have no idea why he believes that given that nobody else in the world has said they have. In summary, I am interested in robust, rather large claims to cold fusion/LENR demonstrations. All the rest I've seen so far and all the theory, I'd rather let other people investigate. I am competent to judge the quality and reliability of most types of thermal and electrical power measurements and I have a sensitive nose for sniffing out scam possibilities. I don't really know the details of nuclear physics. So, apart from than that which I mentioned, I leave it to others. As Clint Eastwood's character once said, a person has to know their limitations. I have never claimed that cold fusion/LENR does not exist or does not work. All I claim is that I don't know and that some of the papers that others have suggested have been obscurely written and that for others, knowledgeable people have raised counter explanations and objections to the findings. I think that remains true. In any case, I am not interested in arguing that. I think the current evidence suggests that Rossi and Defkalion *could* both be lying and scamming (not necessarily that they are) and I am quite prepared to argue about that as I am sure you know!
