The approach expressed here is very depressing. We know that LENR is
real. Buying and testing a Nanor would gain a person nothing. Unless a
person knows how and why it works, which is not known, the information
is worthless. The important investment is in acquiring information
about how LENR works. So far, this approach is not bring used
effectively. All present explanations can be shown not to explain the
process. A person can disagree about what kind of explanation might
be correct, but the present explanations are clearly wrong. Until
this situation changes, I believe investment in a device will produce
very little of value.
We are like a person in 1800 being shown a smart phone and being asked
to make another one. You can imagine all the explanations of how it
worked that would be discussed, with none of them being even close to
the correct one. That is the situation now in LENR. People have no
idea how it works, yet they are certain they have a correct
understanding. This is like trying to design heavier than air flight
before the Wright Brothers or a durable light bulb before Edison. Why
not invest in getting knowledge?

Jet Energy and test that.

***The LENR corner-turn is getting to that level. I am in
correspondence with the X-Prize committee, proposing a LENR
replication prize for Techshop and following the MFMP recipe. I
think that with a techshop, $100k, and some guidance, someone with
as pedestrian an intellect such as mine could replicate those Gamma
rays.

I would find out. People such as Ed Storms and McKubre would find
out. It is a small world. People are not going to do research
without word getting out. I may not know where the money is coming
from, but if someone starts spending millions per year on cold
fusion, they will have to hire grad students and consult with
people, and word will get out.
If you are a billionaire but you are only going to spend tens of
thousands instead of millions, I might not hear about it. An
investor who does not spend millions is wasting his money. If we
could get somewhere with shoestring budgets, we would have made
progress years ago. If someone asked me "what kind of research can I
do with $50,000?" I would say go to the racetrack and bet the money.
