FUTURE? I'd like to throw in a couple of general comments on the current trend of this Forum and LENR in general (Just as a cheerleader, since I am totally incapable of contributing or even understanding the technical details). Despite no real evidence of any imminent breakthrough, still, we seem to be witnessing something like an amorphous landlside of some kind that is slowly inching us down (up?) towards a preliminary working model of LENR. The ideas floating around the last several months seem like they are kind of spiraling around the central kernel of the mystery. The ideas around the size and shape of particles (nano and othewise), the role of magnetism, RF, nanoplasmonics, lattices and the like seems to be taking a (shadowy) shape and leads us to hope that a working synthesis might not be that far away.. (We eagerly await too, Dr. Storms new book and work, and Dr. Craven's stuff, and MFMP, and others). I am reminded of the history of genetics, where a gene was for a long time thought of as a 'particle of inheritance', b ut without any idea of what it might physically look like or how it worked. THe concept of the NAE, the site of the magic activity on a metal, is analogous (and equally pregnant as an heuristic tool). The nature of the gene of course has been beaten down into its ultimate form, and now the nature of the NAE is being dissected in somewhat the same manner as the gene was. There were Nobel prizes attached to the genetic unraveling and there will be Nobel prizes in the NAE unraveling. We would be thrilled if some of 'or guys' would be in that number. At the least, there seems to be some definite directions as to what kind of experimental reactors to test out.
