The real opportunity is writing patents on the multitude of apparatus that will use LENR, that will provide a means of throttling the reaction, that will make it more durable, or will make it safer.

As an engineer, I would love to take on that product challenge. I am moving to a "cold climate" area. Cold climate heat pumps still only produce a COP of about 2-3 and have a lot of control to keep the exchanger from becoming frozen (frequent defrost cycles). It is a split unit that still needs

I think it is much more likely that Rossi's reaction is positive feedback when operating, is chaotic in nature (discontinuous), and requires a temperature threshold for the reaction to work. First, positive feedback - when the temperature is higher the reaction rate is higher, causing the temperat

I have moved west, and Dennis Cravens is just a couple miles away. I visited him recently. In his lab he still has long term tests operating with his spheres (of course, along with other experiments in progress). He said that he charged a HydroStik and then froze it at dry ice temperature. At t

Dennis did not explicitly say that an H & D mix was required, but I believe that his theory and his own experiments have led him to mostly use a 50:50 mix in his present experiments. He showed me a Ni based experiment that he had setup, which he turned on while I was visiting. Before I left, his
