> This is a physical impossibility. You no longer believe ANY Cold Fusion results? No "miracles"? Alan, I keep having to clarify that I am not a skeptic of LENR. It does happen with Ni-H. Time and again, I bring up Thermacore etc. as a convincing example of gain in the range of COP 1.5. Rossi can get to that level almost assuredly. Thus I am sure Rossi may be seeing gain, and hopefully it is an improvement over Thermacore. I am looking for huge improvement but not seeing it in this latest report. The question – 20 years later is this. Can the basic Ni-H reaction which was seen for a year of operation at Thermacore, be made more robust both in temperature and reliability. > The sample was compromised. Which does not mean that there is no gain - but merely that Rossi is trying to be cleaver by hiding the source of gain as “ash”. It is most likely Ni-62 which he added to the reactor as a relatively pure isotope, which he purchased. The lithium could be a red herring. In short, it is very easy to cover up real breakthrough with information that buys time for the inventor to try to figure out what is really going on. Jones
