European Parliament – Brussels, 3 June 2013
The scope of the workshop was to make the European community aware of the "state-of-the-art" of the studies on the Fleischmann-Pons Effect (FPE) phenomenon.
This effect is the appearance of excess energy when a Pd cathode is electrolyzed in heavy water.
Energy densities measured during FPE are orders of magnitude larger than the maximum energy associated to any known chemical process.
NetworkingThis effect was first discovered in 1989 by two electrochemists Prof. Martin Fleischmann and Dr. Stanley Pons, by loading palladium with deuterium (an isotope of hydrogen). This excess energy is not associated with nuclear radiation and does not appear when light water (H2O) is used.
ENEA (Italy), Stanford Research International (SRI, USA) and Energetics LLC (USA) have been collaborating on an alternative energy project since 2004 based upon the FPE. The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL, USA) joined the cooperation in 2008 and since 2010 also the University of Missouri was involved in the research.
All the collaborating institutions, after several years of scientific review process, based on the application of the scientific method to the study of the phenomenon, do not question the existence of this very strong isotope effect as FPE has been observed during experiments in the four laboratories.
Try Google.
Lack of research funding due to the underhanded tactics of "high energy" physicists and their allies (that would be you and the rest of the skeptopaths).
So even if they get the money, they have no problem to work on.
Try Google.
Yet another excuse. If they'd done anything you would post it.
You are a liar and the truth is not in you. Even that conman, Rossi, has a unit that powered a factory (albeit a small factory) for a year. Your obsession to ridicule any notion that LENR is a reality is showing. SRI International has shown several different approaches work to get more power out that is put in.
LOL. You're a riot lately. You youself said that LENR doesn't conform to any known theory. Since LENR now has been shown to be a real phenomenon, coming up with the theoretical explanation that explains the measured data seems like a problem worthy of any honest physicist. Or did you perhaps think that theoretical sorts don't get/need funding??
And then there's all the engineering needed to scale up and make reliable products. This is certainly happening now, but that process can and should be accelerated by increasing funding. By any sane standards, with the evidence now in hand, we should have a "Manhattan Project" scale effort to bring the truly liberating discovery to all humanity.
Why not answer the question asked?? Which is the bigger failure, "hot fusion containment" or LENR?? But skeptopaths don't engage in honest debate.
One would think by now, after multiple instances, you should know that I don't do that. I expect people engaging in debate to make at least a token effort to find things for themselves.
FYI, that willingness to seek out information is a litmus test I use to discern who engages in honest debate, and who the skeptopaths are. Guess which category you have proven yourself to be in.
Actually, it looks like even that is not necessary. Dr. George Miley's recent work has shown that once the correct nanostructure is set up, all that is necessary is the pressurize the device with reactant gas, and that the reaction then STARTS SPONTANEOUSLY AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
It turns out that Miley has been issued THE FIRST US patent on LENR (so it looks like the dam at the Patent Office may have been breached, though perhaps not, as the deadly words "Cold Fusion" don't appear in the patent except in some of the references).
Google Patents:
The details of his patent are REALLY interesting. It looks to me like he has arrived at pretty much the perfect geometry to maximize both reactivity and heat transfer in a single element.
(need more caffeine).
Appreciate the link to the patent.
