Zounds! So, at first scan, the Toyota results are never presented in precise details of procedures, materials, people, runs, results, control runs, micro and nano level studies of changes in the Pd, throrough measurements of impurity and isotopic shifts, radioactives, radiations, no archived samples of the magical Johnson Matthey Pd for future study -- just rambling, poorly referenced fantastic yarns -- impossible to replicate -- in all these hundreds of successful runs have not one scientist saved pristine and used samples of JM Pd? I visited Storm's house on a hilltop in Santa Fe in maybe 1996, and saw dozens of pieces of shiny Pd fragments in his lab -- aren't the chaotic conditions at Toyota fairly ideal for producing inadvetent or deliberately faked false positives, a la Rossi and BlackLight Power?
Very reasonable, cautious, open-minded agnostics can not be expected to accept this story as convincing. "The Pd at Toyota was supplied by Johnson Matthey (JM). As shown in Miles Table 10, JM material in the 1990s was FAR better than anyone else's. It worked 100% of the time and it produced 10 to 100 times more power. Nowadays the ENEA might have caught up. I wouldn't know about that. Anyway, back then JM knew how to make this material and everyone else was guessing and shooting in the dark. Tanaka Precious Metals was trying to figure it out. If they had listened to Storms they might have done better. JM learned how to make this material in 1930s, for their palladium filters. It happens the two applications have similar requirements." The JM Pd has existed for over 70 years? Wouldn't someone in the world have some? Why not do a global search for it? How about giving us the full text for the report with Miles Table 10 , along with Joshua Cude's comments about it... " It worked 100% of the time and it produced 10 to 100 times more power. " Huh? Is this the paper -- doesn't have a "Table 10" A search on "Table" found: "My previous research on anomalous effects in deuterated materials (cold fusion) at China Lake, California and sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, produced excess power levels of 100300 mW with a high of 520 mW. The excess power density was typically 15 W/cm3 of palladium. Only 28 out of 94 different experiments produced excess power (30% success), but the success ratio was high for PdB alloys (88%) and Johnson-Matthey palladium samples (61%) as shown in Table 10 of Ref. 1 (p. 42). The success ratio however, was very low for many other palladium materials." "1. M.H. Miles, B.F. Bush and K.B.
