Evidence for
  • Transmutations.
  • Electrodes in a cell hotter than the electrolyte, contrary to the usual situation. (Steven Krivit, video.)
Evidence against
  • LENR: Isotopes in purported transmutations (e.g., in Rossi's device) are at natural levels.  (Ron Maimon.)
  • LENR: Fusion of H+Ni -> Cu is endothermic. (Maimon says this is incorrect.)
  • Rossi's 1MW demonstration:  faulty calculations
