Dear Paolo, You seem to refer to the paper by Violante et al? If you want my personal opinion as a chemist, it cannot be possible to produce X-rays during an electrolysis using 2V. Simply speaking, the energy range of X-ray electrons (5-10 eV) lies far above 2V and I have no idea how something like this could happen if you keep to the preservation of mass and enery.

The most important thing in this paper which clearly points to fraud is the last sentence of the authors: ...The authors consider these results to be preliminary and useful to plan further studies in this interesting research field.... That was in 2002! I wonder why they did not publish further, more convincing results from their research. Is it, because they were unable to reproduce their preliminary results?

Dear Axel,

the paper I wrote with Violante is a very preliminary conference paper, most of the data are not published yet, but I can show you a very large of data-set showing Ka and Kb signal during electrolysis of thin metal film in aqueous solution. It's not clear from theoretical point of view, I know. but it is an experimental evidence, I'm working on a white paper then I will add some data set to show these results. There is even a theory on Coherent QED that explain the phenomena

thank you for your comment, I will keep you informed soon

Dear Paolo,

its a shame, that I oversaw that you are one of the authors of this paper, sorry. I am not much into cold fusion but there has been a lot of fraud in this context. In my view the English wikipedia article describes the present state quite well. The problem already with Pons and Fleischmann's work was the lack of evidence from the nuclear chemistry. Also in your article, there is nothing about the isotopes produced. To repeat, I am no expert, but as long as you cannot demonstrate the underlying nuclear reactions, no one will take emitted radiation or heat for serious.

Also from the theoretical side I cannot contribute much to the discussion.

best, AXEL

Dear Axel,

I will read the wikipedia page on cold fusion, I agree with you regarding a lot of fraud in this field and even a lot of strange guy claim impossible things.

Is difficult to find scientific results in a sea of misinformation

thank you for comments, I will keep you informed

Paolo
