Jed, do you have any more information on the failure to reproduce?
Could they no longer get the *original* *cell* to work, or was it just
new cells that didn't work?
Do you know if the non-working cells used a different source for the
palladium? They mentioned in the "Amoco History" section that:
" It should be noted that all of these experiments used the same
palladium ingot
purchased by Lautzenhiser and Eisner in Houston. "
The history of the CF field seems to be littered with Jekyl/Hyde
effects, where the source of the chemical supplies makes all the difference.
