Thanks! I'm glad the post was at least somewhat easy to read.

Interesting articles, in particular the last one. One of my biggest issues with cold fusion/lenr claims is that they never release radiation. Essentially all nuclear reactions produce large amounts of high energy ionizing radiation - after all, that's why nuclear reactions produce a lot of energy in the first place. Because of this, a claim that fusion is occurring in an electrolysis device for example seems strange because the device isn't setting off every geiger counter in the room. For example, D-D fusion (the second easiest fusion reaction) produces tons of neutron/proton radiation and some gamma radiation. Significant enough amounts of D-D fusion to heat water would produce so many neutrons that even the simplest radiation detectors could pick them up. I'm of course aware that not all lenr claims involve D-D fusion, but essentially any nuclear reaction produces high energy particles. In addition, if there actually was something going on, it should be simple to provide a demonstration of more energy out than in.

So I'm quite skeptical of these claims. The E-cat in particular seems very suspicious. That being said, we obviously haven't discovered everything about nuclear reactions, so there could definitely be a way to produce nuclear fusion in a simpler way than large plasma colliders - it's just that any such fusion event would be easily detected by the vast amounts of radiation produced. It's also important that claims be checked out to see if they do hold any water. If there is ever conclusive proof of a new way to induce nuclear reactions, I'll be the first to recognize it.

Changing a massive part of what we know about physics (such as Mills is trying to do in the last article) requires extraordinary proof.

Thanks for linking these articles, interesting reads.
