Rob, Those were my (too quickly chosen) words - not Lattice's.
Certainly a definitive test must use very-clean, totally characterized materials. If the reports of measurable amounts of transmutations in several LENR experiments are true, then (hopefully) some measurable residues could remain after subjecting Li-battery materials to large currents (especially if fractal surface and bulk feature were present?) The investigators are still puzzled by the failures. See - "U.S. regulators: Boeing 787 probe far from complete" http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/01/24/us-boeing-dreamliner-idUSBRE90M0ZO20130124 This sort of reminds me of the 1951 Jimmy Stewart movie, "No Highway in the Sky". I hope the current investigation comes up with a conclusive explanation. -- Lou Pagnucco Rob Dingemans wrote: > Hi, > > On 24-1-2013 22:58, Jed Rothwell wrote: >> I guess it was Lattice Energy who wrote: >> >> The LENR theory should be easily testable by autopsies on some >> failed >> batteries, looking for evidence of transmutations, i.e., unusual >> isotopes or elements. >> >> >> This would not be an "easy" test.
