Mitchell Swartz doesn't look to be actually employed by MIT. So far as Google was able to tell me, he runs his experiments independently and what he done at MIT was a guest demonstration of his results hosted by Peter Hagelstein (who does work at MIT). So I suspect talking about 'Mitchell Swartz's experiments at MIT' might be misleading. But I'm really not sure as it's hard to find anything on the guy, so it would be nice if you could clarify any of this.
I think this is Swartz's webpage. Try clicking on the first link, I dare you. And links to Peter Hagelsteins personal page at his MIT faculty page are dead. No information on the mini-course except the videos and crackpotty-looking cold fusion news sites. So I can't really tell to what extent it was 'a course at MIT' rather than 'that thing two dudes did, inside MIT's buildings.' Fishy.
You seem to be correct about Swartz, sorry. I was confusing him with Peter Hagelstein. I should probably just remove the MIT references - I think the video stands well on its own.
Edit: also, yes, I admit the websites do not look great. Points against for sure. The data is pretty convincing though.
I took one look at that linked page and concluded that any data linked from it is more likely to be falsified than interesting. Your mileage may vary.
Oh dear lord that webpage.
Remind me never to take up your dares again.
