Interesting.
I went right to the conclusion, which is where the beef should be, and following reams of scientific sounding jargon,the conclusion was nothing more than a list of the publicity received by the SSC Pacific in popular, non-scientific publications:
“5.0 CONCLUSIONS
The 23 years of LENR research at SSC Pacific has resulted in 33 publications, 42 presentations/posters/conference proceedings, three technical reports, and one patent. A complete bibliography can be found in Appendix I. Publications and presentations that are relevent, or resulted from, the DTRA funded effort are included in Appendices II and III, respectively.
Between 2005 and 2009, videos of SSC-Pacific LENR representations and experiments have been made and posted in the internet. These videos, along with their URL links, are summarized in Table 5-1.
Table 5-1. Summary of SSC-Pacific LENR videos on the internet.”
And then a whole litany of mentions of LENR in the popular press.
That’s it. The entire “Conclusion” is nothing but a listing of appearance of LENR in the popular press!
Article is complete junk and it’s a perfect example of the out-of-control wasteful spending by the obama administration under the guise of “science”. Looks like obama-administratin LENR science is right down there with the billions spent of fake climate change and global warming “science”.
I couldn’t agree with you more. The paper is total garbage (almost like something generated here: https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/archive/scigen/). I’d like to see an explanation from SPAWAR on why they think that this is worthy of their time and money. Honestly, I think their pursuit of this is waste, fraud, and abuse of government resources. If any government agency should be doing research on this, it would be the Department of Energy. This is beyond SPAWAR’s scope.
Cold fusion/LENR has been around for 25 years and nobody can point me to a single commercial product that uses the technology. That’s proof to me that it’s just more junk science.
It’s obvious that E-Cat just slapped a DTRA logo on their paper, which is not hard to do, in an effort to give it more credibility. They’ve pulled the same stunt with DIA, too. (Can anybody tell me why on God’s green earth the Defense Intelligence Agency would be funding research on LENR? That’s like having the Department of Housing & Urban Development researching blue whale migration.)
As far as the paper being released by DTIC.mil? If it’s not downloadable on their website, it didn’t happen. I don’t want to go into my resume here, but this is something that I actually have experience with.
