Jed, thanks for the compliment... I think....
It was a compliment. My point about that proposed experiment was that it
was not a good means of convincing skeptical people. That many not
matter. No experiment can accomplish every goal. The LED experiment
would be fascinating and ground breaking in many ways. Robert Park or
Joshua Cude would dismiss it as a fake, but heck, I dismiss them as fakes.
I do not know what I think about Rossi. However, I am now "clearing my
decks" and starting to work on a replication - the best I can without
specifics of catalysts, operating parameters. I do feel strongly that
someone
somewhere MUST try a similar experiment.
Lots of people feel that way, and are doing similar experiments. As far
as I know, Brian Ahern is leading the pack. Ask him for some of his
material.
He was one of these people who made a large impact at ICCF-16 without
being there. He told me he will never go to India because someone he
knows went there for a week and got some kind of infection. They
couldn't cure it back in the States, and he died from it a few years
later. Scary. India is pretty grim. But not as bad as China, in my
opinion. Most of the people on buses and on the street seem in good
shape, with nice clothes and cell phones. They seem busy doing useful
work. They are as friendly as Italians. They also drive like Italians,
only more so.
