Dear Dr Andrea Rossi:
About the defense of your intellectual property: you are totally right. I have never seen an important technology given graciously away; this also could be a breach of contract toward all your investors.
Godspeed,

BOB COOK'S OPINION/ANSWERS RE THE LENR MIRACLES?LENR BASIC OPEN QUESTIONS

1. Why is so much hostility, in fight, segmentation, contradiction, dispute in the LENR field?
A: No herd instinct among the researchers that are at odds with each other--only greed avarice and sour grapes drive those that are vocal--maybe even cash payments are involved at being out spoken in a nasty way.  It's what might be call "cut throat competition."
  
2. Why is the progress in the field so slow, incremental, based on diversification?
A: Governments have classified the science of LENR as well as technology developed using the understanding gained with sophisticated and expensive instruments over the last 25 years.  

3. a. Why re the technological applications of LENR so far in the future and b. why are those which are claimed to exist- denied with hostility?
A:          a. Development costs a lot and is held back/complicated  by government controls involving safety.   I think secret technology is functional is functional at this time however. 
              b. To delay new energy given its promised impact on existing energy developments--solar. wind, etc. and an emotional reaction of sour grapes. 

4. What is the general definition, identity, nature of LENR? What is in, what is out, what is related?
A:          a. I think that a synthesis of slow neutrons from D and H in a coherent QM system with kinetic energy releases via spin coupling to electronic structure of the system defines LENR.   Lattice assisted nuclear reaction is more descriptive of LRNR.   (Fermi claimed that with a supply of neutrons he could create any atom in the periodic chart. ) 
              b.  Plasma reactions are not included since a coherent QM  system is not available that allows spin coupling--Holmid is probably a two or three body reaction with production of energetic muons.   Mills sun cell is likely what he claims it is--not LENR as I have suggested above.  The Pd-D system that produces energetic alphas does not qualify, since it does not involve neutron synthesis to begin with. 

5. Is the Scientific Method- Galileo's 4 Rules- able to solve alone without the help of technology all the problems of understanding and developing LENR? 
A:          No. Sophisticated instrumentation--technology--is necessary to understand resonant coupling which occurs without the production of high energy radiation--particles and/or EM--per my definition of LENR  in 4 above.

6. Does it exist absolute certainty that in Pd-D electrochemical cells excess heat was obtained, the reactions is D+D = He? Will this reaction (process be perfectly reproducible and even upscalable?
A:          No.  However, it may be well reproduced with proper resonant conditions being applied to the Pd lattice and with associated nano Pd fabrication to create the necessary coherent QM system or NAE as Storms would say.  In this regard I consider that 1 or 2 dimensional features in  the lattice structure of the nano system may allow D fusion to He WITHOUT  the generation of an electric field needed to provide KINETIC energy to the newly created alpha/He atom.  (This refinement  of the Pd-D reaction would then be considered LENR IMHO even though the production of slow neutrons would not happen.)  

7. Will be ever demonstrated and accepted my idea that PdD is an underdeveloped, incomplete for of LENR and will not be used for applications because it is missing the actionable parameters?
A:          No.  I think it may already be working in dark (secret)  technology.

8. From the great and diverse offer- which LEN theories can be considered as correct and which are ab ovo defective, erroneous?
A:    Any theory that adequately addresses the transition of a coherent QM system to a lower potential energy state and a higher kinetic energy state without the production of particles with high linear momentum/energy may be correct.   IMHO such a theory will include a higher thermal or phonic energy--spin energy.
8 a. W-L theory to be dismissed?
A a. No.

9. Where in the Nature appear forms of LENR and how are they related to our experimental forms of LENR?
A: The energy production on the icy moons of Saturn and Jupiter.
9a. Special interest biological transmutations
A: Probably.  I consider that most macro molecules in biological systems constitute coherent QM systems that could allow energy changes that would not destroy the macro molecule.  Neutron production from H would be such a reaction. 

10. How can be judged the rare, extremal phenomena- as melting downs explosions, unstoppable heating etc. possibly related to lENR or forms of it? (note: David Fojt seems to be specialized in these)
A: Any increase in resonance coupling in nano systems caused by increased phonic energy of the nano particles could create a chain reaction from one nano particle to the next as the temperature increased in the mass.  It would be like a positive temperature in a fission reactor.  However the time scale of the reaction would not be so fast as seen in a fission reactor, since the latent heat of the nano particles involved would retard  the rapidity of the  spread of phonic energy compared to the speed of neutrons in a fission reactor.

11. Why and how exactly has Francesco Piantelli and NICHENERGY not succeeded to create a LENR technology and not published a seminal theory paper about their Ni-H process?
A: They are constrained by the Italian Govt. and operating under a dark R&D program, IMHO.
12. What are the similarities and distinguishing differences between the Piantelli and the Rossi NiH processes?
A:          One is being done in the United Ststes under private secrecy and the other in Italy under partial (90%) secrecy administered by the Italian Govt. IMHO.

13. Does LENR+ exist- i.e. has Rossi indeed achieved multiplicative not additive heat excess; will he win the Trial with Darden et al?
A:          a. Yes
              b.  I think after discovery there will be a settlement much in Rossi's favor, but no formal trial.

14. What is, what signifies and how does work the Quark-X of Andrea Rossi?
A: Rossi has developed a good control system involving the creation and/or destruction of resonant conditions, including temperature, magnetic fields and nano particle--coherent system--designs.  The blue light may be decay of highly energetic phonic states of a single nano particle to a lower, cooler state.  The direct production of electricity may be achieved through an electric produced by heating an anode in the quark -X cell of by a simple thermo-electric couple.

15. How and why exactly has failed the Defkalion Technology? 
A:  Not enough money or motivation and to many head strong people in charge.

16. What is the motivation and abilities of the Swedish professors and Giuseppe Levi, are they unable or unwilling to make a working device a la Lugano?
A:  They all want to further understand the mechanism of the Ni-H system they tested and are working on that understanding.  Levi may be under the thumb of the Italian Govt.  The others are doing their own research and merely do not want to be hassled by the entities that have an agenda of hampering LENR theory and development.

17. What should we think about the chances of success of the Russian, Japanese, Chinese, italian, India's almost national LENR research strategies- near future included?
A:  As I have indicated above, I think all these already have working systems.  They certainly have the necessary scientists, funding and technology to do the R&D in a period of 25 years.

18. Is AIRBUS taking LENR seriously indeed, their efforts seem to be half-assed: will JF Geneste get strong internal support?
A: Maybe he already has the internal support.  I would guess Airbus is in competition with Boeing for application of LENR to aircraft and are in partnership with an engine manufacturer to develop the capability. 

19. Is ETIAM in Finland worth of attention?
A: I would guess they are.

20. Is the Brillouin technology inherently limited in performances?
A: In so far as it is Ni-H, I would guess it has the same potential as Rossi's technology.

21. Will Parkhomov, MFMP or other Rossi-Lugano replicator make a breakthrough- achieve self-sustaining regime, multiplicative excess heat?
A: Yes

22. Will any research team funded by Industrial Heat make a significant breakthrough?
A: I think it depends upon the outcome of the suit and a change of IH strategy in energy development.  Their conflict of interest in marketing of other energy sources such, as solar would have to change before a "break through" would come to light IMHO.

23. Is the Rossi process based on nuclear reactions or it involves too nuclear interactions, collective phenomena, nuclear reorganization?
A:  See my answer to item 4 above.
24. Has Randy Mills done it really? (not LENR anyway).
A: It seems he has.  Yes.

24a. When will he distribute hydrino compounds to the many analytical labs?
A: When his backers allow him to do so and in way of promoting the product for marketing, including the approval of safety issues, including the potential contamination of biological systems.

DAILY NOTES

Toward a list of LENR Mysteries, and in very far perspective - their Solutions

A few introductory notes, remarks even warnings re this list:

- this is just a sketch, cannot be complete or definitive;
- in this formulation it is interrogative not declarative- about QUESTIONS NOT ANSWERS
- I am fully aware that things are sometimes very different from what they seem, so that the  list will show perhaps hyperbolically the volatility/vulnerability, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguities in our field but this will be settled in the future- in proofs we trust! 
- it is intentionally pessimized or if you wish, optimized for maximum frustration and      amazement;
- it is already censored, the WTF? was mercilessly removed before many sentences,
- the diversity of the list is overwhelming- as importance, effect, place, severity, chronology, ideology  etc. so despite "Taxonomy -mon amour!" I cannot  make an unitary, elegant classification- at least not now;

DEC 15, 2016 LENR INFO- IMPROVING

MOTTO
Image result for root cause quotes

DAILY NOTES

A "LENR-IN-CONTEXT" paper yesterday said that a characteristics of engineering
thinking-action (thinktion?) is discovering the root causes of problems. My intuition says that the root causes of the slow progress  in LENR are connected to and can be discovered by the study of the LENR "mysteries" - aspects in strong contact with the multiple facets of the Unknown.
I repeat my request to the Readers- please help me with the list of mysteries!
Thank you for any answer. I gladly accept anonymous contribution because the questions can be very dangerous, generating hostility. They can lead even to losing friends i.e. burning bridges. One of the deepest mysteries is:why is so much (mutual) hostility in the LENR (and LENR+) field?
