I don't
think I would take my "secret" to the grave. Most everything is
publically accessible by those who look. I also think all the major points are
out there. You may
think that it is wasted if I haven't gone beyond 1 W publically in the last few
years. However, I think that the finding of things like the THz frequencies and
that stimulating the reaction is very important even if done at the 0.2 to 1W
levels.
I don't
think that Patterson knew the answer. He was just lucky that the old jugs of
electro-less plating materials worked. I don't think that he ever was able to
"know" why they worked. And he spent a lot of time trying to find
out. His work is still out there and I think that C.E. and his step son are
still have the notes and are working to try to figure out what works.
With Case
it was only a matter of a few months between the time he thought he had the
answer till his death. (a few months?? between calling McM. with his claims and
his death and he was trying to get an independent viewer). I was sad to see
his thermal measurements
taken on a long pipe with the output over his pump (heat) on an aluminum rail.
But
his basic idea of Pd in C has been known since ’94.
I find it
interesting that on one hand you badger people for information in the
"now" but you then criticize them for not having complete descriptions
and information. It is virtually impossible to have live info and complete
info.
Where have
I said "unfair"??? You are projecting your motives into mine. I
acknowledged that my works often go unnoticed and unread and it is the reason
that I am trying something different. I do not see that is saying it is unfair
(unless your motive is fame and money).
It is just life and the reason to change tactics. Please quit being judgemental
and assigning motives to me that are not my own.

Maybe next time it will not be a false alarm. All the more reason to get on
with the work quickly. Why do all this work and then take it to the grave with
you, the way Patterson and Case did?
I see no point to doing research and then not publishing it. It is like cooking
a meal and not eating it, or building houses and then burning them down. Okay,
I will grant that research is fun, but without the consummation of sharing your
results it seems like ashes in the mouth. A waste of life. Nihilistic.
I have never said lack of notice is
unfair.
You have a short memory.
It is very fair. Most of the significant work is done by those who go
un-noticed. I still don’t know why you
try to read into everyone’s motives and statements fame and money.
I don't give a damn what your motives are or whether you want fame or money. I
am saying that you must have money to do this experiment properly. With money
will come fame. You can't get one without the other. You will either work in
obscurity and fail, or you will accept funding and what comes with it.
I fully disclosed my calorimeter to
NRL - and it does include such trival things as you mention.
Those things are not trivial.
Although I did opt
for water blocks instead of liquid water envelopes. They are more stable and
reliable and avoid some other problems. I also have internal metal walls to
decrease the problems of location of heat sources within the device (those are
often overlooked or hand waved away).
That sounds good!
I think that it was used in part for
the NRL lab design and should be in public domain out there somewhere. But I
have said that to you before. How about trying to understand?
How about giving me a URL to this design?
I still think a good standalone with
thermoelectric chip and a load is OK.
May-bee. I doubt it. Especially not at only 0.25 W. But I could be wrong!
Again all experiments do not have to
prove LENR or go to high powers. It can be still a good experiment or endeavor
to simply learn something new or even try something new.
The only problem being that no one will believe your results are real, unless
you get high power OR you use a really good calorimeter. It sounds like your
NRL calorimeter will fill the bill. That's good! I look forward to seeing these
results at ICCF18.
