Hagelstein's attempt to get a few $10K's and the interference by the MIT "hot fusioneers" in seeing that said funding was withdrawn, and that the jobs of those recommending the funding were put in jeopardy

Maybe that's because Hagelstein's training is in electrical engineering, not the shadiest area of chemistry. His association with the flaky JET Energy couldn't have helped either.

Well, the "cold fusion" guys are already way ahead of the "hot fusion" crowd, which has had half a century, $250 billion, and has yet to produce a single over-unity device.

I did a Google search for over-unity device, and it spit back all sorts of weird things including the Wiki entry for "perpetual motion." LOL!

Celani's is running NOW on the exhibit floor of NIWEEK,

Celani claims (unsubstantiated) that he's getting a cool 10 watts of heat after loading his wire for three hours. Sounds like a cure for insomnia to me.

and Schwartz's "Nanor" device has been running for months at MIT.

Nothing more than "Schwartz says," and he's a cold fusion crank who doesn't even know how to set up a URL for his company's website.

I don’t think so. I believe it ignore friction, even et the molecular level, and thus heat is created.

"I don’t think so. I believe it ignore friction, even et the molecular level, and thus heat is created."

Where is "friction" going to come from in either electrolysis-based or gas-loaded systems? Also friction would show up in the calorimetry (the end result of friction is, of course, heat), and thus be detected.

It is amazing to me that some individuals absolutely refuse to examine the evidence.

No mystery to me. The most vocal of the nay saying squawkers in no way wish for these processes to be legitimate. They are far too invested in their positions of 'knowledgeable ridicule' to ever again show their faces (so to speak) on FR.
