This is about yesterday's report that "Emergency crews are currently investigating a report of a possible small nuclear reactor inside a residential garage in Columbus, Ohio". Excerpts (article screenshotted here)

… a man in Columbus Ohio "told bomb squad that he sustained “radio frequency burns” while working on a “quantum physics generator” in his garage

… WSYX-TV reports that a resident was working on a “quantum physics generator” at the home and was burned. The type of burns caused confusion among first responders, prompting a precautionary evacuation of about 40 homes. Teams have not picked up any radiation at this time, but are continuing their investigation.

Theory: The man may have been experimenting with LENR (Low Energy Nuclear Reaction) technology. This is one of the suppressed technologies that are being kept from us.

LENR overview: There are reproducible studies showing nuclear reactions (with an efficiency high enough that it is practical to generate energy) from a phenomenon that is not understood by mainstream science. LENR appears far safer than traditional "nuclear" technologies, not producing radioactive waste or dangerous radiation, and able to run in energy-producing devices small and safe enough for private indivuduals to potentially run their own home nuclear reactors. This is close to the "free energy" concept, although it does consume trace amounts of common materials like nickel. LENR was "discredited" intentionally in the wake of the Cold Fusion report (that is related), and since then major power players in science and government have conspired to prevent research at MIT and other universities. But there is underground research in the scientific community that is making progress. Some private individuals are conducting their own LENR research, sometimes based on the public disclosures of Rossi's e-cat technology, which may have made some progress towards creating a commercially viable reactor.

In the news report, two specific statements that make me suspect a private LENR researcher are that the man sustained "radio frequency burns" (Rossi's LENR system uses a radio frequency generator to stimulate the nuclear reactions, perhaps through some kind of resonance) and that the machine was described as a "quantum physics generator" (LENR is generally understood as using some kind of new physics related to quantum behavior.)

Those specific statements caused confusion in the media, because they don't make sense for a conventional nuclear reactor. But they do make sense for a LENR nuclear reactor. My guess is the person had some kind of accident with his RF generator, perhaps ran the energy too high in his RF emissions and got burns from experimenting with too-intense radio signals that didn't go where he wanted them to go.

My second screenshot is a pretty random snippet about the use of RF generators in Rossi's e-cat LENR device, from this article:

I remember Rossi's use of RF but don't have a good source handy, so I just took a screenshot of something random that came up in a search engine to show the connection.
