NanoSpire
Posted: Sun Apr 29, 2012 6:45 pm
...The NanoSpire story is in the process of being cracked wide open. Have a look at Sterling Allan's site: http://pesn.com/2012/04/28/9602083_Nano ... _in_Water/
The key to cracking this story is to read all references to Ed Storms (including post-scripts and comments) in the article.
Sterling: "Mark [LeClair, president of NanoSpire] said that well-known cold fusion researcher, Ed Storms, formerly Los Alamos National Laboratories, performed SEM analysis for Nanospire, gratis, and though he doesn't necessarily agree with all of Mark's theory, he apparently believes that what they are seeing is real and novel. I asked Ed Storms for his response, and he said: 'Sterling, I would state the quote differently. I examined the material sent by NanoSpire and saw nothing unusual. I have no reason to doubt the experience they claim, but I have no reason to believe it either. As for the theory, it makes no sense based on my understanding of science. I wish them success.' Below is a rebuttal from Mark, along with an earlier statement made by Ed Storms."
Rebuttal from Mark: "Ed Storms made the comment below to me and the CMNS group, [at odds with] what he recently said to you:

Hi Mark,
Just so that we are all clear about how to describe what you saw, let me explain some things *** does not understand. Two different types of nuclear reactions are now know; that which produces energetic radiation (1) and that which does not (2). Hot fusion and all nuclear reactions that are initiated by applying significant energy fall into the first category. This is the realm of normal physics. The one unique aspect of the other branch of nuclear physics is the absence of energetic radiation even though significant heat energy is generated. This branch includes cold fusion, which like hot fusion, results in fusion as well as transmutation. You triggered a reaction in the first branch by applying high energy. In addition, you triggered many kinds of very energetic nuclear reactions, not just fusion. Therefore, your reaction is not LENR or cold fusion. Nevertheless, the reaction you triggered is novel and unexpected.
Ed [Storms]"
How relevant is the following old post from Steve Krivit on his New Energy Times site, in analyzing Storms' statements above?... "I sent a message back to these people that I would not comply with their strong-arm tactics. Just a few weeks earlier, on June 19, Storms had sent me an e-mail and discouraged me from reporting some of the truths of LENR research. 'You need to be more careful in how you reveal the truth about the field," Storms wrote. "Eventually, the field will be big enough and so well-accepted that a little plainly spoken truth would not cause you any problem.'" However, New Energy Times reports as much of the truth as we can, as quickly as we can." http://newenergytimes.com/v2/news/20...eologies.shtml
