Jones,
I am a bit ashamed about waiting for these reports ( I waited
for the cock to crow a 3rd time) but with corporate once you receive a "not
ready to pursue this technology at the present time" Letter you don't want to
risk crying wolf again unless you are convinced the evidence to outweigh some
entrenched skeptics will be forthcoming.
Regards
Fran

Ironic in a way, Fran ... (that you would hold back your enthusiasm now) but
yes, the possibility of a 'very elaborate scam' involving dozens of
participating strangers and doctorate-level scientists - has not been
completely ruled out.
95% certainty is arguably "uncertain" to the strictly scientific mentality.
But it is ironic nevertheless ... since this device might well depend on the
Casimir effect at the most fundamental level (not for the heat, per se, but for
maintaining 'pycno' - dense hydrogen, following spillover).
If nothing else, your blog and posts have identified you as the chief proponent
of the general idea that at least the first step in the anomalous heat
processes, in many prior experiments, depends on cavity-QED.
Everything that follows would then depends a priori on the Casimir effect, even
if it is "only" a force, and not a dynamic source of heat in itself. It is then
clearly the most fundamental part of a two (or more) step process. And it is
what LENR has lacked, until "nano" came along with Arata as the icon of that
advance, since even Mills himself did not appreciate what was going-on in his
similar experiments.
Few observers who have delved into this deeply doubt that Raney nickel provides
the easiest commercial route to a massive level of Casimir cavities in nickel,
nor that Rossi is using it as his "nano nickel" (nor that it is responsible for
the two lab fires in New Hampshire)... nor even that that the many of the prior
[problems with LENR stem from the fact that crystal 'dislocations' are a poor
substitute for engineered cavities.
If the Casimir effect is NOT involved, I would be completely amazed.
If the Casimir effect is a sine qua non to the reaction happening at a robust
level, I would not be surprised in the least.
Hey ! Let's celebrate with a toast to Hendrik (Casimir) and especially to
Murray (Raney)! who actually preceded Casimir by twenty years !! not to mention
P&F and Rossi !!!
... maybe there should be martinis all around - which drink - BTW could be
called the rossi ... if you want to get into a trivia contest <g> Bottom's up !
and put it all on Park's tab.
Later, we can add a round for Mallove, Puthoff (ZPE) and even Mills, after we
have had a few - and all the others who have pushed this along in their own way
-Storms, Swartz, McKubre, Miley, Mizuno etc. etc. etc. not to mention Jed who
has been the force majeure, so to speak - in the face of constant criticism
from the meatheads of science.
Cheers,
Jones

This is a widely read publication with a huge audience among government
contractors. The major media will be next. To be honest I only forwarded my own
comments with this news to certain peers at Lockheed this morning for fear of
this being some elaborate hoax.
