If you actually knew any physics, you'd understand why BLP's claims are nothing more than arrant nonsense -- and contrary to what Kevmo claims, Mills doesn't claim to be doing LENR, and the argument isn't about some arbitrary semantic dividing line between LENR and HENR.
Hydrinos.
Seriously?
That hasn't stopped desperate "cold fusion" "scientists" from latching on to Mills ridiculous "theories," claiming that his bizarre mechanism is actually what facilitates LENR, though he himself claims no such thing. In a sense they're actually both right: Hydrinos are crap, just like "cold fusion." They are both explained by the same underlying mechanism: con men and their thoroughly duped enablers.
What I have studied are the published papers on experimental studies of LENR. Not all of them, but more than sufficient to understand that LENR is real science, done by real scientists. Which is more than you have done.
FYI, I put no credence in BLP, either in theory or fact. I ran across them originally quite a few years back, and, although at the time, it appeared they might have something, I simply forgot about them until this latest episode popped up. My own judgment is that they have had more than sufficient time to bring something to market (kind of like the "hot fusion" boys, who have had even more), and have not done so.
You have done nothing on these thread but try to shout down, shut out, and prevent discussion. Those are NOT the actions of a legitimate practitioner of science. You claim to be a retired scientist, but I don't think the act of retiring frees you from the practice of scientific ethics, of which you have given no indication, either of understanding or practice.
Your actions have been those of a propagandist.
OTOH, over all these threads, "I" have simply said "look at the data", and told folks where they can find data.
My PhD is in chemistry, and I have dedicated my entire career to methods and devices to "make better measurements", which, not "theory" is the fundamental basis of science. I know more than enough to judge the quality of the experiments run and whether or not the experimental methodologies were valid and correctly applied.
I certainly claim no deep knowledge of nuclear physics, but none are needed to make a qualified judgment of the experiments performed.
