Smells like...credibility!

I’m waiting for that home CHP unit so we can all go off the grid.

This sounds a lot like Andrea Rossi’s e-cat LENR device.

Yet another blog post "copy and pasted" as an excuse to mention ex-con Rossi.

This is not the first time NASA has dabbled in scams.

I wonder if NASA has in some way stole it from Rossi. I hope not. I sure hope that Obama doesn't get any credit for it as he likely try to take it all. Hope he doesn't get one vote because of this. I imagine it was in the works long before he came around. If NASA has the right to it does that mean that we will have to buy it from the government? Will it make a profit and bring down our deficit in that way as well as be a huge shot in the arm for our economy because of cheap energy?

This sounds a lot like Andrea Rossi’s e-cat LENR device.

No, it sounds NOTHING like Rossi's device. NASA says it adds neutrons while Rossi adds hydrogen, that is protons. Neutrons don't have the Coulomb barrier to deal with. You just need a neutron source (and therein lies the rub)...

How do they create an element that is the same mass as the original one but is a different element by adding neutrons; is that possible? I saw this video yesterday. He is giving a list of benefits and uses of LENR research but he doesn't drill down to anything promising except for mentioning that NASA is working on something that when you add neutrons, the element changes to another element but weighs the same like in my first sentence.

The best that can be said about it, is that NASA is doing LENR research.

I prefer NASA to spend money on this than Muslim outreach. Based on all the research I've done, I am convinced LENR OR CANR or both is real and it makes sense for someone in America to research it.

The problem with NASA is they always have to go hat in hand to get funds and the worse thing about NASA is that they report to the VP or at least, used to. I wouldn't trust Biden to fund this even if he understood its ramifications.

Could you please use the keyword field when posting on LENR ?

I always do keyword searches on FR and expect to find LENR updates under “Energy” but you never use the keyword field.

Joe Zawodny (the NASA researcher from the video) has posted his commentary about the video HERE

Among the interesting parts:

As for what people are trying to read into this video, specifically my use of the word “demonstrated”, it is my professional opinion that the production of excess energy has been demonstrated when the results of the last 20+ years of experimentation are evaluated. There has been a lot of work done in the past 20+ years. When considered in aggregate I believe excess power has been demonstrated. I did not say, reliable, useful, commercially viable, or controllable. If any of those other terms were applicable I would have used them instead. If anything, it is the lack of a single clear demonstration of reliable, useful, and controllable production of excess power that has held LENR research back.

---

There have been many attempts to twist the release of this video into NASA’s support for LENR or as proof that Rossi’s e-cat really works. Many extraordinary claims have been made in 2010. In my scientific opinion, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I find a distinct absence of the latter. So let me be very clear here. While I personally find sufficient demonstration that LENR effects warrant further investigation, I remain skeptical. Furthermore, I am unaware of any clear and convincing demonstrations of any viable commercial device producing useful amounts of net energy.

---

Every attempted demonstration of a LENR device that I am aware of has failed to meet one or more of these criteria.

So, once again the reality is considerably less than the hype.
