So you're effectively saying that selling ANY Cold Fusion demo kit today would be damaging to the field, right? I don't see why, as long as it is not claimed that the kits constitute a proof of CF reality. ... > In regards to the Galileo protocol, I again suggest you read: > > http://www.earthtech.org/CR39/index.html I don't know if he has read them but I pointed Abd to the Earthtech results too, very early on. Not because they disprove the nuclear origin of the SPAWAR pits, which they don't c.f. their conclusions, but because they demonstrate that some variants of the Galileo protocol, including considerably simpler and faster and cheaper ones(*), do produce such pits, which I thought was highly relevant in the context of a commercial kit project. Michel (*) notably this one (simpler: constant current, faster: 2 days, cheaper: Ag cathode wire and light water): http://www.earthtech.org/CR39/5/report5.htm <http://www.earthtech.org/CR39/5/report5.htm> << Experiment *5 - 100mA Light Water* *Cell:* - Cathode: 3.5 cm of exposed 0.25mm Ag wire as close as possible to 1 cm x 2 cm Landauer CR-39 chip. - Anode: Approximately 5 cm of 0.5 mm Pt wire with Pt screen spot welded on end - *NO* magnets *Electrolyte:* - 30 gm *H2O* + 0.42 gm LiCl + *0.044 gm* PdCl2 * Procedure:* - 100 mA for 48 hours >>
