Actually Axil, we don't know what it is. You're entitled to your interpretation but that's all it is. Not enough data exists to support your assertions no matter how well thought out they are. As to John Franks' antagonistic demands for a "definitive experiment" (presumably for evidence of excess heat), those demands had been met many times already by 1994 (McKubre, Storms, Oriani, Huggins, Arata, Bockris, etc.). If he had cared to look back on the history of the field + the archived technical papers he could have answered his own questions before coming in here for the most basic of information. Faraday efficiency has to do with recombination. Recombination has been ruled out many times over in LENR experiments. Mr. Franks, do you honestly think highly trained electrochemists did not understand that rudimentary recombination might be a factor worth ruling out early on? Even though progress has been made, we still don't know what the mechanism is. So what? Experiment is king in science, and it sometimes takes a generation or more to discover what the exact mechanism for a new phenomenon is. Discounting a discovery for the reason that it does not fit into current theory totally flips scientific protocol on its head and is an amateurish understanding of scientific method at best. We are dealing with a messy, complex, chemical system, not highly controllable 2 body nuclear interactions in a vacuum like most physicists are used to. Unreasonable demands for high repeatability make no sense for these types of complex, highly non-linear systems, especially in the early stages of development. Scientific history is full of such stubbornly unrepeatable cases that are nonetheless legitimate science (cloning a sheep for example). Significant progress in terms of repeatability has been made however; take Energetics in Israel (now at U of M) for example who had reach ~70-80% repeatability in their cells. Mr. Franks I suggest you educate yourself more before storming in with nonsense arguments that are outdated by almost 20 years.
