If cold fusion research was tested with more accuracy, it would be a more respectable thing to research (or at least not laughed out of the room).<p>All of the tests on cold fusion&#x2F;LENR devices never seem to use appropriate measurement tools for the measured range, much less the gold standard methods for counting energy in&#x2F;out, leading to enough error you could hide a truck.<p>No more calculating energy from thermal camera pictures from 1 side of the device without checking periodically if the heat output is uniform. Similarly, they like to use 3-phase input power when a standard wall-plug power would do. Measuring 3 Phase power in these cases is like trying to measure the weight of a person using a truck scale. Also you can do more shenanigans with 3 phase that the meter wouldn&#x27;t pick up, which due to the history of scams in this field is even more important that the power being fed to the device is proved to not have anything funny going on.<p>I&#x27;d like for cold fusion to be true, but in order for them to be taken seriously, they need to test the devices with much more rigor.
