Hehe...NASA seem to have touched a nerve with you Mary. Is that the sound of establishment dogma crumbling I can hear.

I wonder if anyone in NASA's PR department or higher management has seen it. First of all, the production values are lousy. It looks as if it was shot with a cheap web cam. It features Zawodny who is mostly out of focus during his strange, hesitant talk which is hard enough to understand, it's subtitled! They talk about an un-named fuel of some sort which is unchanged in mass by the reaction which is basically unexplained. They don't say where the excess heat is from. They keep referring to this fuel as "it". And they only say somehow carbon, nickel and hydrogen are involved. The rest is the usual obvious and irrelevant comments about how inexpensive thermal energy can be used. Everybody already knows that. As "Angus" wrote on the Moletrap forum: "Oh goodie. Another "we're looking at it, and if we can get it to work it could heat your house and do other wonderful things" video. There's nothing new about the idea of using surface plasmons to bung neutrons into atomic nuclei. NASA has been "looking at it" since 2005 <http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2006cmns...12..156C> . So far nobody's house is getting heated." I might add nobody has made a cup of tea with it either. Craig Brown, still, amazingly enough, a Steorn believer, is promoting this clip as a breakthrough. It's nothing of the kind. There is no real theory presented, there is no experiment, and there are no results. I am disappointed that NASA would air such a contentless clip. I have no idea what they're thinking.
