In reply to several postings and E-mail messages, I offer this reply:

I am not worried so much about the tone of the net being anti-CNF, but
I am unhappy about the LaRouche-type postings and the personal jabs
that often appear.  I guess I'm too much of an idealist.

As far as peer review, I do want that before I release any significant
findings.  But I also like the kind of peer review that Tom Droege does,
where everybody has a chance to comment on things while the experiment
is in progress.

I am fully aware that there are "problems" with the experiments Mills
and I published in Fusion Technology, but I have never personally been
asked to help anyone with a replication, so what do you want me to say?
Most of the "problems" have to do with our not using a constant temperature
bath, but we really didn't have to have one since our results were so
spectacular.  We wanted it to be extremely easy to replicate for anyone,
so we made the experiments simple.

A replication is fairy easy, as far as our data goes...we published
all details, including the very simple circuits I designed so that anyone
could just go to Radio Shack and get all the parts, as well as purchase
all other needed materials for less than $500 from chemical supply
houses. (If doing pulsed circuits, borrowing an oscilloscope would
be most helpful, but constant current cells also give nice results)

To anyone attempting an MKF replication:

1) Use very clean Nickel cathodes.  Do NOT use any organic solvents, or
any acid cleaners.  We used just distilled water on nickel purchased
from Aldrich used right out of the box. NO FINGERPRINTS!!!

2) When the cell operates correctly, you should observe a milky white
stream of bubbles along the cathode.  Large bubbles should tip you off
that the cells are not working properly.

3) Rubber and any other organic materials will cause problems...don't
put anything in solution except Potassium Carbonate, Nickel, Platinum
and glassware.  I have also use Teflon, but I have had some problems
with it, probably due to contamination of the teflon.  Noninski has
published results in Fusion Technology using some teflon.

4) It is often helpful to put the cell in reverse, with the Nickel as
anode, for about 30 minutes, at the very start of the experiment, but
most of the cells I use produced excess heat without this step.  Multiple
reversals of the cell polaritly can lead to serious performance deficits.


If you have any questions, I'd be glad to help.

Sincerely,

Steve Kneizys...
