However, we have no idea who these experts are, what they saw, or what
they said. So that doesn't count. We can't make anything of it. Of
course S&G have every right to keep this secret, but I suggest we pay
no attention to them until they go public and publish a professional
paper. In my opinion, secret projects have no credibility.
***I suspected as much.   My bullshit detector is going off right and
left.  The simple fact is that anyone who CAN go and measure gamma
rays credibly has not been publicly invited except over at LENR-Forum,
where I was banned after being there for 5 years for accepting this
invitation.   Someone with a BSEE and 20 years' experience isn't
enough for Alan, and he even said that if I had the expertise of
Edward Teller that he wouldn't allow testing.   Again :   Bullshit.


Those are the elements of what it takes to bell the cat: Willingness,
time, capability, wherewithal . Those who have the time and
willingness are low on capability and wherewithal. Those who have the
capabilty and wherewithal are low on willingness and time. Most of us
can develop capability and wherewithal, but we can't really develop
willingness and freed time .


To be candid, there's one more element: Bullshit. When Celani pulled
out his Geiger counter , Rossi climbed all over him because it could
point to what he was using in his cells. Probably bullshit. MFMP
announced they found gammas, Biberian replicated it 48 hours later,
then they went off and tested other stuff without saying a word.
Bullshit. Now we have MFMP coming back on line to send me a private
message because they're not on Vortex-L nor here, how they quietly
referenced the gammas in some peer reviewed thingie, surrounded by a
ton of bullshit. Then we have Alan claiming he has gammas, so I'm
ready to answer the question for myself as to what it would take me to
overcome all the bullshit that's been thrown around over this gamma
issue, and including the bullshit thrown around there. So you have my
answer. It should be easy to underbid me for those who have a higher
tolerance of bullshit. Then everyone's happy, and the cat gets belled.


What's sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander.  It does
not appear to be a joke that I was banned, so you should be banned as
well, for posting fraud.   The serious contenders should be posting
their underbids.  Simple.

Someone with the background goes and tests for gammas , then guess
what -- it'll be the end of their career.  I think they will be
charging far more than $100k for doing something that ends their
career, and we see the absolute result:  SILENCE.   As long as there
is silence, there is no offer to test gammas.   It's just
career-ending bullshit.

I declined because I know nothing about gamma rays. I am totally
unqualified to test this claim. Also because I am in the U.S. There must be
hundreds of people in the UK qualified to do this.

That answer is absurd. It is $97,000 too expensive. A person would be
insane to pay that much, or to contribute to that effort.

Not only that, but your entire approach is ass-backwards. Putting the cart
before the horse. No one should contribute any money to your proposed test
until the following has been done:

1. They have to INVITE YOU. Obviously!!

2. Smith & George have to publish a comprehensive report describing their
instruments, procedures and results. This is essential. People have to know
what you will see, and how to go about testing it. Let us have no surprises.

3. Various experts should examine their report, critique it, and give
advice. They should say: "Sure, that looks good. Here's how I would test
it. Here are the instruments I would take." If they say, "I can't tell" or
"that doesn't sound like it is working" then no one should pay Kevin
O'Malley to go look at it. That would be a stupid waste of money.

4. In the GFM page, O'Malley should list his background, qualifications and
similar tests he has done in the past. He should post a detailed list of
the procedures he intends to do, and a detailed lists of expenses. Again,
no one should contribute a dime until that is made clear. We have no idea
whether he is qualified, or the right person for the job. Someone else in
the UK may be a much better choice.

5. O'Malley should list the planned "deliveries" from this project. He
should say that after he returns home, within a month he will publish a
report that confirms claims A, B and C made by Smith and George. (Or not
confirm them.)

With any less preparation than this, you would be running off half-cocked.
You would probably waste the money and time. Do it carefully and
professionally, or don't do it at all.



Smith and George had said that various experts visited them and gave the
project a positive evaluation. However, we have no idea who these experts
are, what they saw, or what they said. So that doesn't count. We can't make
anything of it. Of course S&G have every right to keep this secret, but I
suggest we pay no attention to them until they go public and publish a

That includes the project at Texas Tech. The people doing it are skilled
but for all I know they could be making terrible mistakes.

since it's done in private, I kept my response private.  Now that your

"The offer to test for gammas was rescinded.

I don't understand why this page is still there.
***Because it all falls within my original intention, which is to bell
the cat.  If in the future I decide to make MFMP a beneficiary of some
other type of fundraising effort, I'll do it the way you have asked
publicly AFTER THIS EFFORT, not in an Ex Post Facto manner.   I set
this one up to answer my own question of what it would take for ME to
bell that cat.  I would encourage others to do so as well.  Jed is
already posted in as willing to do it for a cool $million.   That
makes me look cheap in comparison.


This was my answer to the question of what it would take to bell the
cat for cold fusion. Of course I think Someone ELSE should bell the
cat, like Jed Rothwell whom I posted as a good candidate, since he's
tested cold fusion devices before. He declined. The question is "what
would it take for ME to bell the cat". This is the answer.

This is an exercise in removal of excuses. Not just others' excuses,
but my own as well. The price is deliberately high so that people who
live closer to the site , people who are more qualified, people who
have better equipment could underbid me. They are not doing that. It's
a sign that something is amiss.

It only took me a few keystrokes to get started with the GoFundMe
thing, and I can say unequivocally that it's a relatively painless
process that doesn't take much time. So... there's that removal of
excuses thing going on right there.

Instead of focusing on getting someone to underbid me, they went ahead
and OVERbid me, saying they would do it for a $million. And then they
turn around and accuse me of being a scam because I posted that I
would do it in a first class fashion. No need to start negotiations at
economy class. But the unsubtle hint is that the invitation to test
has been rescinded.
Help spread the word!

Geiger Counter + Lab Tour to Test Atom-Ecology Claimed Energy Source


I'm setting up a GoFundMe campaign to buy a gamma spectrometer and go
to London to test these cells, per Alan's invitation.   It would make
sense for someone more qualified to make the visit , take the
measurements, and generate the YouTube video.   Hint:   Jed.

Alan Smith and his team claim to be generating Gamma Rays above
background noise radiation on a chemical fuel cell, which is
impossible.  He has invited anyone with the means to come and test his
cells.

http://atom-ecology.russgeorge.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/2018-05-10-3.png

https://www.lenr-forum.com/forum/thread/5597-atom-ecology/?pageNo=99

http://atom-ecology.russgeorge.net/2018/09/22/have-cold-fusion-will-travel/

  I intend to purchase a Gamma Spectrometer, travel to London and
visit his laboratory, and test his claim, to see for myself.  I will
post a video on YouTube , one way or another, whether it debunks his
claim or supports it.

I do not have to be the one going to London to do this.  Anyone near
there can use this money and visit the lab , as long as they
demonstrate they know how to use a spectrometer, per Alan's
invitation.   When we are done with testing the devices, we will
donate the spectrometer to the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project or
use it for further testing/debunking of claims.

The time has come for independent testing of some of these types of
energy cells.  If they are real, they will be a tremendous energy
breakthrough.   If they are not real, you will help to stop energy
related scams.
