Jones, I agree that this could be bigger than anything Rossi has done. Sadly, we still don't have a test from the Rossi camp (or replicators) that can even convince many supporters of a COP much over 1.5, let alone skeptics. Godes has always asserted that he thinks Rossi has something, but Rossi doesn't know how to control it.
McKubre seems convinced based on his statement made in the paper. That goes a long way in my book--although not as far as a published scientific paper by McKubre. Unfortunately for the open science community, Godes method is complicated (just try generating a 200V pulse for 60 ns at 1-3 amps @100khz laterally through a cathode while simultaneously running DC electrolysis with the same electrode of nickel AND measure it all). I'm uncertain how he is doing it in the gas system, but would guess it's not trivial.
