Hi all If this letter is real then:
For any scientist to prejudge results as Ahern just apparently has, inevitably means bias. Given the nature of this open letter one must of course consider whether Ahern has had ulterior motives in approaching experimentalists and replicaters to offer his services. This is all a bit confusing as only a handful of days back Ahern sent materials to SKINR / University of Missouri group for the replication attempt on a Lugano type Rossi reactor. https://www.lenr-forum.com/.../2865-SKINR-University-of.../ If the Nickel reactors that Rossi invented, eg he has the Patent for them, do not work then what has Ahern be privately testing all this time? And why is he sending material he knows it will not work? I do hope that SKINR / University of Missouri group have sourced additional materials from another source than Ahern as I suggested; though I gave the reason at the time, of them not wanting to taint their experiment with some one who sceptics might argue as a source of "seasoned" fuel. Now I have to say I look at that offer by Ahern in a totally opposite light. No experimentalist should use the material from a person with a stated bias. Rossi has been completely open about the testing procedure and about the length of the test and when the results will be available, and kept to each of those promises. He told us he had a customer to buy the original reactor he had IH and Darden. Those who were sceptical were wrong. He told us there would be scientific test. The sceptical disbelieved again. Once again they were wrong and the Lugano report came out. Rossi said there would be a year long test in a factory. The sceptical said there was no factory. The sceptical were wrong the pictures showed it was a real industrial test. The sceptics said the test would be pushed to its bitter end. The sceptics were wrong; the test was completed just few days after its shortest possible period. The sceptics said their would be no report yet Rossi gave reasonable deadline for the publication of its abstract and a date for a conference in June. I think we all just need to patient and await the results like sensible human beings. Prejudging is not scientific. We will wait.
