EDITOR'S SUMMARY & COMMENTS
Charles Platt provides an excellent article which reports on a large number of researchers who have worked on cold fusion. All of the "real workers" on cold fusion believe that it is real and that research should continue. This is an excellent survey article of the field. There is one important omission: the role of high-density charge clusters. Here are some of Platt's comments in the Epilogue to his article: Edmund Storms is quoted as saying, "Even overwhelming proof, as demanded by many scientists in the past, can have no effect because no mechanism exists for it to be communicated to the scientific professions." Platt quotes David Nagel of the Naval Research Laboratory as saying that only four of about 5,000 professional journals will accept papers that mention cold fusion. Platt quotes Max Planck: "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." Platt's most important concept is to manufacture a marketable product. "If ... could put a cold fusion water heater in every home in America, then the phenomenon would be undeniable." A message for Charles Platt: We won't have to put a heater in every home. A new-energy device is being developed that will provide thermal and electrical energy. Commercialization is being privately funded. Products will be available early in the 21st Century. The readers of this publication are well aware of the role of high-density charge clusters in the development of new-energy devices.
