I am writing a presentation about that very subject, with help from Ed, Mike and Mel. Quoting myself: "People often ask me: How do you replicate cold fusion? What’s the secret?!? There are many valuable papers in the archive, but for a do-it-yourself guide, I like these three: Miles, M. and K.B. Johnson, *Anomalous Effects in Deuterated Systems*, Final Report. 1996, Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division. [Table 10] Cravens, D. *Factors Affecting Success Rate of Heat Generation in CF Cells*. in *Fourth International Conference on Cold Fusion*. 1993. Lahaina, Maui: Electric Power Research Institute 3412 Hillview Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94304. Storms, E., *How to produce the Pons-Fleischmann effect*. Fusion Technol., 1996. 29: p. 261.] [skipping 2 pages] . . . It took Ed about a year to test all 90 [cathodes]. So, that is how you replicate! Ask Johnson Matthey for 90 pieces of hydrogen filter palladium. Master the techniques described by Cravens. Then, spend a year of your life testing them. With any luck you will find a few that work. If you don’t, get another 90 and start over. I said I would show you how to do cold fusion. I did not say it was easy. . . ." - Jed
