The original thread title for this topic has gone bonkers. Axil Axil <janap...@gmail.com> quotes DGT:

As a > result, Coulomb forces between such nuclei are almost zero during this > short time window." > They have equipment that can detect these events?!? Their calorimeter seems crude. I do not see any nuclear physics equipment nearby that can measure reactions. I have seen various gadgets such as scintillation detectors at Hokkaido U., Osaka U. and elsewhere. I do not see any in the photos. Anyway, I do not think an ordinary detector works for reactions lasting 10E-13 seconds. Honestly, I have never seen such equipment and I do not know what it would look like. Something like this, perhaps? https://newsline.llnl.gov/articles/2008/mar/03.14.08_detector.php This is a serious question. Is there some indication DGT measured these reactions? How would you do that? I wouldn't know. If DGT has not actually measured these reactions, and confirmed them several times, I think it is unwise to talk about them. It is mere speculation, which serves no purpose. It makes them look bad. Cold fusion is based on experimental results at present. Until the experimental results, including fast nuclear reaction data, clearly point to a physics theory, I think experimentalists should avoid citing one theory or another. This is especially true of people who are trying to develop cold fusion into a business. It is okay for an academic scientist to speculate about theory with no actual experimental proof. Silly, but okay. But in business I think this would be considered unethical. Theorists such as Hagelstein or Widom and Larsen have nothing else to talk about but theory. So it is fine for them to speculate and build what may turn out to be castles in the air. That's their job. - Jed
