As we have both said, who knows?  But they claim statistically 
significant increases in tritium, that from a woman whose career is said 
to have been devoted to tritium detection, using industry accepted 
detectors.  Either it is happening or they are lying.  Ineptitude is a 
possibility, but very remote IMO, again assuming the bios are not faked 
or exaggerated.

The inconsistent results may be due to some subtlety in conditions that 
is as yet unidentified.  ONce again, assuming the players are on the up, 
  it would seem to me to be worth pursuing in case such a subtlety 
exists and can be understood such that consistent results are possible. 
  THe potential value is this is way too big to give up on, just  yet. 
AFAIK paltry sums have been invested to date when compared with other 
endeavors.  Keep at it and remain hopefully sceptical.

Methinks I will investigate this Lattice group.  Now I am curious as to 
what they are about.

Speaking of energy sources, does anyone here use induction coils?  For 
some apps they appear ideal.  I am wondering if they can be arranged 
such that there is open space along the coil wall to accommodate odd 
shapes.  Anyone?
