Jones, I don't know, this guy is at a really good university and its been signed off by some top academics. He seems to be in the middle of his work and the theory is well based on experimental fact and he has a rationale.
LENR has been going on for years and I and others just can't see how you can bring nucleons within 10s of fermi of each other to fuse, lattice or no lattice. The link with BEC or Cooper paring is just plain wrong, they never come that close and it is a low temperature effect. I don't see a mechanism and claims of excess energy require extraordinary evidence, which no one is buying. Hasn't it been up to DoE review twice now and they still don't believe it? It seems delusional to me, deeply flawed from the start. The only device is the Farnsworth Fusor which is based in experimental and theoretical fact. Good luck anyhow. I will try to contact Remi to find out what the situation is. He has three other websites and other projects: http://webspace.qmul.ac.uk/rocornwall/ http://www.cornwallresearch.org/index.htm http://arxiv.org/a/cornwall_r_1#! The last one is very conservative and blacklists a lot of new physics. That seems to be the problem with getting new ideas past the establishment. I think this guy has the right idea in taking them head on by doing a PhD. The establishment is more hindrance than help and explains why this stuff takes so long, the trouble is, governments and investors are enthralled to the universities. The options for energy production don't look good - "renewables", fracking or nuclear. The public aren't convinced and there could be a sea-change in thinking. John.
