"That said these folks would garner themselves a lot more money and attention if they could plunk down successful experiments in front of a lot of different audiences and have them poke and prod them so as to show the experiments do what they say they’ll do—even when they’re around unbelievers."

Won't happen. Not because of a lack of successful experiments (there are plenty of those), but because the pathological skeptics simply refuse to examine the data. And that is true both here on FR and in the wider world.

Case in point. At last year's "Cold Fusion Short Course" at MIT (in the EE dept.....NOT Physics), Mitchell Schwartz demonstrated his "Nanor" generator. It ran for the entire period of the course (course participants directly took data from the calorimetry and did their own calculations of excess heat), for another two months in Hagelstein's office, and then a far longer time back at Schwartz's lab.

NOT ONE PHYSICIST bothered to walk the short distance across campus to even look at the system.

The dear Mr. Schwartz says he does not expect the technology to be accepted during his lifetime! What am I missing?
