Re: [Vo]:New book from Steve Krivit
I started reading it. Despite the earlier version, this is very well written and documented - and worth anyone's 4 bucks. I like the large font for easier reading so Kindle is the way to go. As Nick sez there is important older historical stuff that may have been vaguely known to specialists, but not appreciated. Actually the more I read it the more I like it. Well done, Steve... ...even if belated ... definitely a time warp. Jed Rothwell wrote: It was new to me! Amazon.com did not bring it to my attention previously. Maybe the Kindle version is new? - Jed

Re: [Vo]:New book from Steve Krivit
They're not new. I've had copies for several years (at least 3). They are hugely detailed. Notable is the history of anomalous stuff noted 100 years ago that got forgotten once fission got discovered.

RE: [Vo]:Re: Lattice Confinement Fusion
From: CB Sites Any ideas as to why they chose Erbium for the host metal? I wondered about this too. The elements is rare, costly and does not appear in the list of Mills’ catalysts (but almost any element can be contorted to be catalytic,, as Mills has repeatedly shown). The one commercial use that appears on a google search for erbium is that it is used in control rods in nuclear reactors. This means that it has a high cross-section for neutrons - which several cheaper elements have… but in this case it could be a cross-section for a specific resonance/velocity which no other (cheaper) metal has. Perhaps the ability to absorb neutrons of a particular velocity or type – and the reason it is used in control rods despite being extremely costly - relates to “virtual neutrons” as well? Or… the cynic might say … maybe it relates to not wanting replication attempts … for whatever reason.

Re: [Vo]:Re: Lattice Confinement Fusion
Any ideas as to why they chose Erbium for the host metal? Seems like a pretty straight forward idea. I do wonder how quickly the host metal gets consumed.

[Vo]:New book from Steve Krivit
See: Fusion Fiasco, by Steve Krivit https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2TDWIY Blurb: Steven B. Krivit's *Explorations in Nuclear Research* three-book series (*Hacking the Atom, Fusion Fiasco, Lost History*) describes the emergence of a new field of science, one that bridges chemistry and physics. The books give readers an understanding of low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR) research and its history and provide a rare behind-the-scenes look at the players and personalities involved. The books present the results of in-depth historical research and draw on formerly inaccessible archives to describe what occurred in the research that has been mistakenly called "cold fusion."
