Remember the episode of “The Beverly Hillbillies” where a guy had a pill that turned water into gasoline? Same level of science.

“But solving that problem can wait until the theory is better understood. “From my perspective, this is still a physics experiment,” Zawodny said>

Just as I said, a lab curiosity, experiments with varying theories, outcomes and methods...and failures.

Skeptical? You bet....of the LENR powered cars, water heaters, industrial heating and robotic factories that have been so gullibly accepted.

I have the same problem...
I can't seem to expend more energy than what it takes to get me going;) Mrs. outofsalt has been working on this for some time and has not yet resolved the engineering issues.

I’m not sure I understand how converting nickel to copper releases energy.

Copper has a slightly lower binding energy than nickel. Converting nickel to copper is the opposite of fission

So you will have to have a big family to have a 24 hour reactor watch and control room watch.

According to Zawodny, the challenge in making this work lies at the beginning of the process, generating those ultra-slow neutrons without expending more energy than the process yields.

Kind of like wind and solar energy; they work, but the cost exceeds the value.

Thanks for posting. I don't have an opinion one way or the other but as an ex navy nuke I have a passing interest.

These threads always remind me of the "witch > duck" scene from Monty Python's Holy Grail and I always enjoy reading them.
