note that the role of impurities seems well known, and probably linked to crystallography http://www.lenr-forum.com/showthread.php?706-DARPA-Navy-Research-Labs-PdD-impurities-amp-LENR Dominguez: http://newenergytimes.com/v2/conferences/2012/ICCF17/papers/Dominguez-Anomalous-Results-Slides-ICCF17.pdf
and that article from ENEA may explain why: http://www.lenr-forum.com/showthread.php?616-ENEA-paper-ICCF15-(2009)-Cristallography-conditions&highlight=cristallography Violante: http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/ViolanteVevolutiona.pdf This is in my opinion one of the best evidence that this is real. Anayway that is a personal opinion, given the hundred of "best evidence" that are published already... Anyway I like it because fraud follow easy path. Note to some people more realist than me: of course all is faked, because it was done by people who believed in LENR, of believe afterward. No people believing in LENR may be trusted. thus no trusted researched accept LENR. QOD. more simple to decide. Especially if you have no money to win/lose if LENR is real. 2013/5/13 Rich Murray <[email protected]> > Zounds!
