I think it's obvious now, that if it is triggered by heat, and it makes heat, it's a matter of controlling how much heat dissipates to make it self-sustaining. And he's claimed 100 hours of self-sustaining already. That's enough for a whiz-bang demo. > It would not prove anything the present test does not prove. Mary Yugo > would insist it is fake.

I think that's right, but it just never appears, even though cold fusion is supposed to have an energy density a million times that of dynamite.
