We don't know what it is. When we do, maybe "resonant fusion?" "proton
absorption?" BEC fusion"

It's a question with many nuances. I generally agree with Jed about
the realities and the regulatory issues.
Yet at the same time, we have an example: the terminology change
from NMR to MRI. It was significant from perspective of consumer
acceptance, and therefore it was economically significant. If we
believe LENR will be incorporated in consumer products, then words
probably do matter.

I tend to agree with Axil, i think the nanopowder is a distraction
if you want to generate power. Powder may be mainly good for
transmutations and maybe heat transfer.
I think both a Papp type engine and possibly the Terrawatt Research
magnetic drive are an impulse/shock type drive with charge,
compression and magnetic alignment all repeated at high
frequencies. The Papp motor runs at about 47 Hz and the Terrawatt
unit shows data up to 20 Hz with a steep power curve from there.
The Papp unit uses noble gasses and the terrawatt magnetic
oscillator just has an air gap between rotating magnetics.
There must be an issue though (besides fraud which i do not
believe). Since the UL data for TWR was from 2008 it should not take
that long for the Terrawatt drive to make it to market.
The think issue is either safety or reliability or both. This may
be that the system will generate an UNGODLY amount of power at 100
or 150 Hz destroying itself and those around it. I also wonder what
type of EMR spectrum of emissions is generated during operation and
whether that is healthy. Papp at some point seemed to give up
either after the explosion and somebody was killed or after he
became ill with cancer.
Patterson also seemed to give up on launching a product after his
grandson died that was helping him.
This all seems very strange to me. All of these systems seemed to
have the potential to transform the world and yet their development
appears delayed or halted. Maybe I am making too much of it. Jed
might know some of the history better.

I agree, being open minded is important.
It's important to not permit the SCAMS of yesterday to effect the
LENR systems of tomorrow.
The noble gas reaction that underpins the Papp engine is the most
likely reaction that works and the most promising. It must receive
priority in future LENR R&D funding.

Don't forget the crater in the floor in Salt Lake City and the
explosion in
Tadahiko Mizuno's experiment. Key on "explosion" in the LENR-CANR.org
search window.
