From: Jack Cole * Russ has been putting together an excellent research program to test a research hypothesis about LENR derived from QGR's theories. Methodologically, they have consulted with and borrowed the concept of loading Pd into zeolites from Iraj Parchamazad. Russ has also consulted with several of the LENR greats along the way.
His web page is reminiscent of JL Naudin’s efforts to cover the entire spectrum of alternative energy. Naudin did some very interesting LENR work, such as with the Mizuno glow discharge experiments, but he had the habit of moving on to something else at the first signs of failure. Russ seems to similarly disposed to having way many projects going on simultaneously. I hope he sees a glimmer of success and sticks with it. There have been a lot of failures with zeolites but they have an internal porosity which “ought to be” supportive of high loading, yet first zeolites themselves must be loaded with a catalyst, which is tricky since you are essentially clogging up the natural porosity. That is why the hematite used by Holmlid is alluring. Same nanoporosity but much superior magnetic properties and iron has as many Rydberg “holes” as nickel. Not to mention far less costly.
