The word “alchemy” calls up the picture of a medieval laboratory in which a wizard broods over the crucible that is to bring within his reach … Continue reading LENR and Alchemy

The Sneering Collective – Part One

When Pons and Fleischmann made their announcement, they were instant heroes riding in from nowhere to save the world.

Assuming that most scientists do […]

Cool eCat Or Fake eCat

This graph is taken from Dr. Michael McKubre‘s public talk What happened to cold […]

LENR is widely replicated and the answer to our prayers

I found this gem comment the other day while doing some background on LENR: http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/blog/post/2011/05/swedish-skeptics-confirm-nuclear-process-in-tiny-4-7-kw-reactor “I do not think it is “amazing that the media has not paid more attention to” Rossi. His claims seem astounding. They resemble those of many previous energy scams. Reporters and scientists dismiss Rossi for this reason. I would dismiss … Continue reading LENR is widely replicated and the answer to our prayers
