Does Dr. Steven Jones Still Post Here?

How did I force them?  I did not.

  Again, our team had and reported a TINY tiny d-d fusion enhancement for deuterons in a metallic lattice environment. (See the journal Nature, April 1989.)  P&F claimed "excess heat" -- fine -- but that is NOT a d-d FUSION effect! (I have explained why, based on solid principles and experiments.)   I get hoarse repeating this over and over -- since 1989!   

    Thus, from my point of view, I did not threaten them with my research or my reports of my research -- we had a tiny fusion effect, they had xs heat -- and the tiny numbers of neutrons we saw was and remains a SEPARATE and distinct effect!   At one point, IIRC, they called it "neutron-less heat" which should immediately draw a distinction between the tiny d-d-fusion-neutron effect we claimed and the xs heat effect they claimed.

 PS -- I like AlienScientist mentioned by E2M above -- he asked me about this history, did his own research, and has then tried (like me) to set the record straight.

ha.ha,,  good question

@JamesThomas:  I await your replies.

My work on cold fusion pre-dates learning about Pons and Fleischmann by years -- see my historical note here:  http://pages.csam.montclair.edu/~kowalski/cf/131history.html 

I urged P&F to NOT call their anomalous heat "FUSION" -- it is not d-d fusion that generates that much heat since there are not COMMENSURATE fusion products.  That was and is my argument, physics-based and not ad hominem.  Martin Fleischmann agreed with me finally, saying it was a mistake to call the excess heat "fusion" in the first place, may he rest in peace (he passed away last year).

As I have said, I accept that there is a strongly-evidenced anomalous heat effect -- but my physics-based conclusion was and is that this heat is not due to d-d fusion.
