That was a paper by Roberto Monti. He has attended several cold
fusion conferences. He does Medieval lead-to-gold style
transmutation. Gene Mallove dabbled in it. You can find his work on
the Internet in various places by searching for his name.

I think it is far enough removed from cold fusion that it should be
considered off-topic.
Jed, your web site is not "coldfusion.org," but "lenr-canr.org." He's
definitely talking about low energy nuclear reactions! He claims to
have published a paper shortly before Fleischmann's publication in
1989 (in J. Electrochem), in Italian, with his "new model of the
atom," and that this model "made it easy for him to understand "what
had really happened and where Fleischmann and Pons were wrong." If
he's not blowing smoke, he predicted the kinds of transmutations that
were later found by Mizuno, Brockris, etc. Definitely of interest.
And definitely "out there."

As Abd ul-Rahman Lomax, we now have some papers by Vysotskii. He
published them in recent ICCF proceedings and then sent me an
earlier one, so why not?
He's also published in the ACS LENR Sourcebook. The big mystery for
me is that I've seen no sign of any attempts to replicate
Vyosotskii's work. Some of it seems not only simple, but definitive.
When Mossbauer spectroscopy detects Fe-57, it's there. That can't be
simulated. Hence I Have some idea that a replication kit might be
possible for Vyosotskii's work. It would involve finding an
affordable Mossbauer analytical service. I suppose I could try to
build a cheap Mossbauer spectrograph, that would make for a fun
science kit all by itself. But that's not where I'm starting! I'm
starting with what's already been replicated.... The transmutation of
radioactive waste, which is what his latest work has been about, is
not so easy a topic for "home LENR kits," unless one happens to have
some nuclear waste lying about. Fun for the kids?
My kids' mother would kill me. But a little deinococcus radiodurans,
maybe I can get away with. Why did that bacterium evolve the capacity
to withstand tremendous radiation levels? It might be fun to have
some as pets, probably cheaper to feed than my cat. Could it be that
it needed the radiation resistance to handle damage from the LENR it
was catalyzing? Where does one go about getting some?
