Can Engineering Precede Understanding?

• Measurements of transmutation products, so-called “nuclear ash,” if reliably observed at the conclusion of an LENR experiment, are important because they indicate that new chemical elements have somehow been produced and/or isotopic ratios of some elements previously present have been significantly altered. • Accurate detection and analysis of whatever types of products may be produced during an LENR experiment can potentially allow one to determine exactly which type(s) of nuclear process(es) occurred and the reaction(s) that created the products. • Since 1989, most “cold fusion” researchers have focused primarily on the Holy Grail of creating macroscopic LENR devices that can produce substantial fluxes of calorimetrically measured excess heat. • Absent a usable theory of LENRs and a detailed understanding of nanoscale device physics, achieving success with such an approach is at best a random proposition. It is a bit like trying to fabricate modern microprocessor chips with submicr
