If you want to help, maybe don&#x27;t tell people to &quot;get a clue,&quot; because that just turns them against you, and also read what your sources are actually saying.<p>It doesn&#x27;t matter whether the paper you linked is discussing the phenomenon in general or a specific device. The fact remains that it is <i>clearly</i> a hypothetical exercise in which it assumes that the device works, and sees how it could be used if that were the case. That doesn&#x27;t mean they think the device <i>actually</i> works, only that there&#x27;s enough potential to have a few people think about it for a little while.<p>Same deal with the NASA presentation you posted in this comment. From the Objective slide: &quot;Explore the application of LENR technology not the technical aspects and feasibility.&quot; &quot;Assumed device existed with these parameters.&quot; It&#x27;s a hypothetical exercise. Nothing here supports your assertion that NASA thinks this is real.<p>In any case, my main point remains: why hasn&#x27;t anyone done the obvious test to prove that this device is real? We&#x27;re not talking about some delicate scientific experiment producing subtle mysterious phenomena. We&#x27;re talking about a concrete physical device which the creators claim is a megawatt nuclear reactor. Isolate it and make it produce power and prove beyond all reasonable doubt that it does what it says. Why is that so hard?
