Stan and I funded the first phase of the work ourselves. It was secret.
From Martin Fleischmann
American science is much more organized, much more hierarchical than British science has been.
At the moment I am taking a very careful look at some of the work which we have done in the past.
I am a caricature of what British science is about in the way I work.
I don't know whether you have done your calculations but, about two or three years back, I did a first assessment of what the first successful device would be worth and it came out at about 300 trillion dollars.
I don't suppose I'll ever retire completely.
I have had this view of the optimization of the electrode design for a long time. Historically we went through various phases in the work and eventually worked on large sheets - very large sheets - of palladium.
I think British science is becoming more like American science - and then there is everybody else, I'm afraid.
I think you know that I classify science as British science, American science, and everybody else.
If you assume that it was a valid experiment, then its disintegration reveals a very substantial part of what has been found since then, including the fact that you can get heat generation at high temperature.
