RE: [Vo]:Steinetz paper sort of about cold fusion
Maybe it’s the fish season … but this catch doesn’t smell right. On several levels. You have to laugh in a way at how wrote up a research as supposedly using Erbium and Thulium – two very rare elements. There would be zero chance of commercializing it. Even the pentagon is yawning. Could these elements instead be code names for more useful heavy metals ? But catch-22 – if you tell the truth, you never get published. National security. Proliferation, Intellectual property …etc Thalium being a code for Thorium, par example. Erbium LOL. Give me a break.

Re: [Vo]:Steinetz paper sort of about cold fusion
Didn`t David Nagel prefer the term Lattice Enabled Nuclear Reactions? Nagel's terminology can encompass this research. My father who was skeptical but not closed minded about the field, thought it should have been called low temperature nuclear reactions instead of low energy nuclear reactions, since it is possible for individual atoms to have very high kinetic energies while the bulk of the lattice remains relatively cool.

Re: [Vo]:Count Rumford's theory of cooling and warming rays
A version of the caloric theory heat stated that all bodies emit and receive caloric at the same time. This aspect of caloric theory is an accord with the currently accepted principles of thermodynamics however Rumford rejected it as impossible: <> Certainly if heat were a substance rather than motion, Rumford's criticism seems reasonable. With Rumford a wave theory of radiation (which he likened to sound waves) it was only possible for a body to warm or cool by the type of radiation it *received*, and not by the radiation it *emitted*. At first glance this would seem to allow a body to perpetually emit radiation and never cool down, but according to Rumford all bodies are continually bathed in cooling or frigorific radiation so this situation cannot arise.

[Vo]:Brief letter describing Mizuno replication
Here is a brief letter describing a replication of the Mizuno's experiment: https://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/RamaraoPgeneration.pdf Abstract Centre for Energy Research (CER) at Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana (S-VYASA) which is a deemed-to-be University at Bangalore, India started its research on Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) in 2015. The team at CER tried different designs of custom made reactors and has so far carried out more than 200 experiments with various combinations of the active materials like Nickel (Ni), Palladium (Pd) with Lithium Aluminium Hydride (LAH), Lithium and Hydrogen (H2)/Deuterium (D2) gas at different conditions. Extensive studies and work was also carried out on instrumentation and data Acquisition to capture the phenomena.
