Това прилича на слон, звучи като слон, на място с много слонове е, но понеже някой твърди че е танцуващ мамут, макар да не го показва и нас ни се иска да е...

Общо взето предполагаемия cold fusion става в черна кутия- учените не знаят какво има в нея преди и след това или какво става по време на експеримента, само знаят че в началото на експеримента вътре се слага никел и водород.Since we do not have access to the internal design of the central fuel container and no information on the external lead shielding and the cooling water system we can only make very general comments.
Сега, който иска да вярва или да не вярва, да си остави вратичка да вярва при нова информация, както си реши. Аз не съм написал никъде, че вярвам в истинността на твърденията, но не ги и отхвърлям просто така. Не защото имам каквито и да е познатия по физика, а защото темата явно е генерирала донякъде положителни реакции и сред академичната общност - единственият показател, който ми говори нещо на мен лаика.Other reactions to the device have been mixed. Dennis M. Bushnell, Chief Scientist at NASA Langley Research Center, described LENR as a "promising" technology and praised the work of Rossi and Focardi.[21] Roland Pettersson, retired Associate Professor from Uppsala University, who witnessed the 6 October demonstration said "I'm convinced that this works, but there is still room for more measurements".[22] Skeptic James Randi, discussing the E-Cat in the context of previous cold fusion claims, predicts that it will eventually be revealed to not function as advertised.[23] Commenting on an assertion made by Rossi, who said he was not ready for a full academic investigation of his technology because he doesn’t yet have full patent protection, the Dean of Science at the UML Robert Tamarin stated: "That’s consistent with it not working, but it’s also consistent with it working very well".[24]
Що се отнася до изказалите се одобрително - естествено, че Фокарди няма да се изкаже неодобрително за собственото си изобретение, но не може да се нарече точно обективен, аи на 80 може би може да бъде подведен. За Петерсон не знам, но все пак това, че се е пенсионирал като Associate Professor (т.е. нещо като външен лектор) означава, че не е е направил твърде силна научна кариера. А Хагелщейн( или Хагелстийн, или както е там) казва единствено, че иска да разучи нещата, което не е отричане, но определено не и одобрение.The University of Bologna explicitly states that they have not been involved in the demonstrations and none of the experiments were at the university.

Peter Ekström, lecturer at the Department of Nuclear Physics at Lund University in Sweden, concluded in May 2011, "I am convinced that the whole story is one big scam, and that it will be revealed in less than one year."[18] He cites the unlikelihood of a chemical reaction being strong enough to overcome the Coulomb barrier, the lack of gamma rays, the lack of explanation for the origin of the extra energy, the lack of the expected radioactivity after fusing a proton with 58Ni, the unexplained occurrence of 11% iron in the spent fuel, the 10% copper in the spent fuel strangely having the same isotopic ratios as natural copper, and the lack of any unstable copper isotope in the spent fuel as if the reactor only produced stable isotopes.[18]
According to PhysOrg (August 11, 2011), the demonstrations held from January to April 2011 had several flaws that compromised their credibility and Rossi had refused to perform several tests that could verify his claims.[2]
An application in 2008 to patent the device internationally had received an unfavorable preliminary report on patentability at the World Intellectual Property Organization[29] from the European Patent Office, noting that the description of the device was based on "general statements and speculations" and citing "numerous deficiencies in both the description and in the evidence provided to support its feasibility" as well as incompatibilities with "generally accepted laws of physics and established theories."[30]
