Is Axil a Physicist? I thought he claimed to be a systems engineer. And since we don't even know if he is truly a systems engineer, how do we evaluate what he is saying? A lot of things he says goes over my head; and I'm an engineer (a real degreed, bonafide, practicing Electrical Engineer). We see an emperor with no clothes but are afraid to admit it. We do not understand half of what Axil speculates but remain mum lest we should appear to be less knowledgeable than we would like people to believe. Hence, Axil's outrageous speculations goes unchallenged and gains a level of credibility it is not worthy of. I've challenged Axil to provide explanations to my fundamental objections to his theory but has received no satisfactory answer, except "read it again". That is a "cop out". Essentially he is saying, I am not smart enough to understand what he is saying. I keep wondering how many others also don't understand but don't mention it.
On the other hand, when somebody like Ed Storms comes along and offers a theory, backed by much personal experimental data and exhaustive research, I think people ought to take heed much more than the unfounded, unsupported and unbridled speculations of a ""systems engineer????". I've always wondered why that is seldom the case here in vortex. Have vorticians acquired a fundamentally anti-science attitude - an attitude that we are always quick to lament in others? I think the first thing we need to know is who Axil really is, and what his qualifications are. Then we can properly evaluate the merits of what he is saying. A kid (with the help of wikipedia) can always appear to be a cancer specialist behind a screen, especially to a roomful of spectators afraid to point out that the emperor has no clothes. Heck, anyone can offer unsupported speculations all day long and appear to be a physicist all along. Am I the only one who can see this? Please tell me how I'm wrong.

However, AXIL represents the New Wave in LENR physics and it is increasingly obvious (for me) that only a New Tsunami would be able to remove the obstacles in the way of a realistic and useful LENR complex of theories.
