ICCF-21 -The Fleishman-Pons Heat and Ancillary Effects. What Do We Know, and Why..?
At ICCF-21, Mike McKubre presents “The Fleischmann-Pons Heat and Ancillary Effects: What Do We Know, and Why..?” and reflects on three decades of LENR work since 1989. He reviews SRI’s contributions: resistance-ratio diagnostics for high deuterium loading, mass-flow calorimetry, helium-4 correlations with heat, and tritium/helium-3 observations. He uses his recent retrospective to urge a shift from anomaly to accepted condensed-matter nuclear science through stronger communication, collaboration, and direct replication. He frames five priorities: verification, correlation, replication, demonstration, and utilization. He argues that early 1990s verification has merit, but that broad acceptance now requires a simple, unarguable demonstration. He discusses practical constraints such as Carnot limits and gain, cites high-gain episodes from Energetics Technologies, and outlines criteria for a tabletop demonstrator while noting electrochemistry’s challenges and the importance of materials, loading, flux, and clear publications of results.
