What "fact" are you referring to? The magnetic field? How do you know this is a fact at this point? And how does it unlock ultimate truth? How is it being discredited? A reply that involves magnetic anapoles is a non sequitur as far as I am concerned. This is a question about experimental empirical details, not theory. With regard to the magnetic field, at this point we don't have enough information to base our usual speculations off of. There are a number of possibilities and too little data to narrow things down. One possibility is that every word of hearsay that has been spoken on behalf of Defkalion on this list so far is right on the mark. Another is that there is a lot of radiation coming off of that device, which would be an inconvenient thing, but unsurprising to me. A third possibility is that there is something else entirely going on. I see how almost two years were spent pondering the question of nickel isotopes. That, from a suggestion of Rossi sometime back in a forum, if I recall. As far as I can tell, that conversation was largely a wash. It was instructive, to be sure, but perhaps irrelevant (we still don't know for sure). We still wonder about it from time to time. It is all too easy for a person to drop in new tidbits of hearsay -- for example, "I understand that Defkalion are using a square wave signal for the Joule heating." Hopefully we won't ponder on that possibility for two years now, because I made it up completely. Eric
