*The problem is that we can not agree on what is important or how to solve the basic problem. The basic problem is the impossibility to cause the effect at will by anyone who tries. Yes, individuals have had success, including myself. This success is short lived and rarely replicated by another person. We had hoped this problem would be solved by Celani. His wire, if it were active, could be supplied to anyone who wanted to explore the effect. At this time, the wire does not appear to produce the claimed power. Why is this the case? A theory would answer this question. Without an answer, no one would want to risk money chasing a ghost*.
The variability of results could be a consequence of the inexact nature of the manufacturing process. This process is inherently random. Better results may be produced if the techniques of quantum dot production where applied to the production of nano-arrays inspired by the various theories that are circulating. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_dot#Production On Sun, Feb 17, 2013 at 5:37 PM, Edmund Storms <stor...@ix.netcom.com>wrote: > I agree, no theory will cause a Western government to provide funds for > LENR research for the reasons John states in the article.
