Fran, This seems like a simple experiment to replicate, based on the patent disclosure. Go for it!
Add magnets and a nearly coherent light source (sodium vapor bulb) and you are almost there. Instead of pure heavy water - 50/50 cost only a small fraction as much, and since it will probably produce tritium preferentially - all one needs to prove LENR is a Geiger type radiation monitor instead of an expensive helium monitor. This could essentially be pulled off by any high school student - assuming that Cooper is correct on the very low input requirement. _____________________________________________ From: Frank roarty Jones, Yes, I agree.. the paper from Cornell re catalytic action only occurring at openings and defects in nano tubes would also lend support to your suspicion that he may be legit. He is in the correct industry and may have discovered a way to increase the defects thru self assembly that would surpass the random nature of the tubules approach. We know water molecules do some unique alignments when drawn thru a nano filter and we know multiwall nanotubes basically self assemble so perhaps he has married tubes to some geometric compound that naturally forms alternating geometries inside the nanotube..basically the Haisch- Modell tunnels but much smaller and self assembled. Fran _____________________________________________ From: Jones Beene Prolific inventor, possibly in LENR: "Christopher H. Cooper" https://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&tbm=pts&hl=en&q=ininventor:%22Christophe r+H.+Cooper%22 Is Chris legit ... or is he more of a patent troll? Over 200 hits and no known data or publications that I can find to back up the claims... at least the excess energy claims. No papers on LENR-CANR or elsewhere pop up on google. Here is why I ask - many of his filings are definitely LENR based, but there is not much evidence that any have been reduced to practice. Most of them seem to have been filed after the Rossi information about "tubules" or whatever it was. https://www.google.com/patents/US20110255644 However, he appears to be affiliated with a water filtration company, Seldon Technologies of Vermont, which seems to be a player in CNT filters - so it is quite possible that he stumbled onto the energy anomaly via other R&D. I would love to see the data - if there is any.
