Barry Kort

Barry Kort, as Wikiversity user Caprice, discussed cold fusion with Abd Lomax (and a few others) in 2010. Because of the deletion of the cold fusion resource on Wikiversity, even though it was restored on the CFC wiki, it’s a bit tricky to find his contributions, they might extend into 2011. (User names are in page history, but the account does not exist on CFCwiki.)

The occasion for this study was an exchange on Encyc. There was also commentary on Talk:Cold fusion there.

Here is a list of the Wikiversity conversations:

• • Cold_fusion/Storms_(2010)/Radioactive_decay_of_contaminant/
    • Argument 1 Trolling, not serious.
  • Cold_fusion/Excess_Heat/Clarke_Foreword *
    • Argument 2 Interesting enough to investigate, but wrong.
  • Cold_fusion/Excess_Heat
  • Cold_fusion/Social_implications

  There were also various other conversations.

  • Talk:Learning_civility about interaction with Edmund Storms
  • User_talk:Lbeaumont#A_Request about power calculations

  Kort also wrote blog posts relating to this and his interactions with me:

  Kort created a video out of our interaction, uploaded Apr 25, 2011:

  And he wrote a paper on the topic, date not known, but before October, 2014.

  • Analysis of AC Burst Noise in Cold Fusion Electrolytic Cells, copy here for study.

  Quora:

  • October 22, 2014 copy of “Analysis” (collapsed by moderation: Answer doesn’t directly answer the question) Account appears to have been created to copy the paper to Quora.

  There was a paper written as a result of the conversations:
