Yes, an investment of 100K is possible. I've actually budgeted 2 Million for this endeavor, although at this stage, I am starting with very cheap and simple reactor and calorimeter designs. I am only spending a few hundred right now. Before long, I have no doubts I will need a glove box, and industrial microwave, some custom RF equipment and an SEM with X-Ray backscattering capabilities to characterize the individual atoms.
Right now, I am trying to get a handle on Research Direction, more than the equipment itself. I feel I can test many of the Ideas here without spending too much right now.

Which means, that, because there is no agreed theory, You have to rely to a lot of trial and error and educated guesses. If You do'nt have a good basic environment >>100k$, and have no colleagues for brainstorming, You do not stand a chance of doing something substantial. I actually am in an environment to hypothetically do this, but I don’t. It starts with the funding. We have other things to do, albeit we would have lets say 80% of the infrastructure and knowledge to do something like that. What is missing, is an educated guess --a basic workable theory- which gives preliminary results in the first place. This is a very strange field indeed. Krivit summed it up quite convincingly, to my opinion. http://newenergytimes.com/v2/sr/McKubreM4/McKubre-Experiment-M4.shtml If you place your bet on Ni-H, feel free to do that. Any other reactions do not have any societal/commercial value anyhow. Then you have to place Your bets on LENR, against 'cold fusion', in Krivits sense. Next You have to cultivate Your intuition: How should the reactive nickel-surface look like? 100nm? 5um? This seems to be the range. Look at what is possible. One has to have an extremely good intuition, how to choose the right parameters in say 10 dimensions. Does Rossi have it? Defkalion? We do not know.
