"...she has never caught a moose-only mice."

The plural of moose is mice. Straight up killer cat.

Ha!
You were caught by the Width Police...😁

Just when I get to see something that actually fills my HP 31.5-inch monitor...
More cats...👌

My monitor is only 27” so that probably explains the problem :)

Does anybody remember the CueCat barcode scanner?

It is a hoax but there is a thoritical way that this will be possible in the future which is why everyone was so easily fooled.

Once we figure out how to get particles to behave as a Einstein-Rosenberg Condensate in a constrained lattice we will be able to fuse and build atoms.

E-Cat?

Electric Bulldozer?

Does Tony Beets know about this?

When news of this cold fusion started some 30 years ago, my first question was “What was the gamma ray spectrum?”
I got some answers about alpha particles. Did not answer my question, besides alpha particles are stopped by mere tissue paper.
Such a reaction would also have a loss of mass, corresponding to a change in binding energy. Such energy would be on the order of a few MeV. Such would be expressed a a photon in the gamma ray part of the spectrum, in addition to fast neutrons. Fleischmann and Pons would have been fried by the radiation.

I happen to be quite familiar with fusion reactions, although more of the uncontrolled types. Some natural, some not so natural.

(My numbers below are based on recollection and may be a bit inaccurate, but the point stands)

I remember some years back seeing a video in which Mr. Rossi demonstrated the E-Cat . Simple instrumentation showed it was producing something like 400 kW of heat. I was trying to keep an open mind and was even raising my eyebrows a bit until I saw in the video a very thick power cable leading to a large diesel generator which was obviously under load from the sound and exhaust, but out of sight/earshot of the observers.

I looked up the numbers stenciled on the generator and found out it was rated for 550 kW continuous duty. Thus quickly died my interest.

Rossi no longer claims his E-Cat works by cold fusion, nor by Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR). It just works, he says. The US Navy recently filed for a patent for an identical device, using the same text from Rossi’s patent.

Rossi now has a product you can order, a 10,000-lumen lamp. $25. He says he will demonstrate it on November 30 if he gets one million orders.

Beat the rush, order now! https://ecat.com

They obviously have never seen our half-feral Siamese when she’s really wound up and bouncing off the walls. Nor have they seen the many trophies’ she keeps leaving on our doorstep!

There must be a major break through for cold fusion to be practical .... it must achieve a self sustaining operation that produces more energy than it uses to sustain the process.

Perhaps the minor excess heat attributed to cold fusion is actually the heat released by a ‘phase change’ to form Rydberg Matter of hydrogen gas.

Unnatural fusion sounds like some members of Biden's gang...
