NASA LENR Aircraft Presentation Published [Updated: Rossi Comments and Hints] Posted on March 1, 2014 by admin • 30 Comments The NASA Aeronautics Research Institute (NARI) held a ‘Seedling Seminar’ during the last week of February to consider ‘potentially revolutionary’ innovative ideas in aviation. One presentation was by Doug Wells, a systems analyst at the Aeronautics Systems Analysis Branch, NASA Langley Research Center, and on February 25th he gave a presentation on ‘Low Energy Nuclear Reaction Aircraft’. The presentation was recorded and can now be viewed at this link: https://connect.arc.nasa.gov/p1zygzm2h3i/?launcher=false&fcsContent=true&pbMode=normal The presentation deals with what kinds of aircraft could be...

Carbon Nanotube Energy? New Patent Filed by Seldon Technologies Posted on February 28, 2014 by admin • 30 Comments Here’s something that just came to my attention, and I haven’t really had time to investigate it thoroughly, so I thought I’d put it up here for information and comment. It’s a patent filed by Seldon Technologies, a Vermont company which works mainly in the field of water purification, and use carbon nanotubes in their filtration systems to make a product they call Nanomesh. Seldon seems to be branching out in their research and development endeavors, however, and have filed a...

To the Reader When I tried to express my ideas to explain the mechanism of the so-called cold fusion, I encountered a problem in determining the audience for which it is intended and where it will be understood. Yes, of course, this audience is included in a community of all the nuclear physicists—theorists, experimenters, and engineers on our planet. It is somewhere around 200,000 people or more. We can call this community group A. To understand our subject, we also must have a knowledge of physics of elementary particles, the hierarchy of types of interactions (charges)—weak, electromagnetic, and strong interactions,...

Born–Oppenheimer and Fixed-point Models for Second-order Phonon Exchange in a Metal Peter L. Hagelstein ∗ Research Laboratory of Electronics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA Irfan U. Chaudhary Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Engineering and Technology. Lahore, Pakistan Abstract We have been interested in the development of a model for anomalies in condensed matter nuclear science, and over the past few years we have developed new models that describe coherent phonon exchange between a highly-excited vibrational mode and nuclei under conditions of fractionation. When we modeled collimated X-ray emission in the Karabut experiment, we found...

“Quasi-One-Dimensional Model of electrochemical loading of isotopic fuel into a metal” - Mitchell Swartz “Codeposition of Palladium and Deuterium“ - Mitchell Swartz Now for those of you who don’t know… Cold Fusion is based on the idea that if you load enough hydrogen or deuterium atoms inside a metal lattice, like Nickel or Palladium, they become so tightly packed close together, that they begin to fuse together. Two world renowned electrochemists Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann were the first to claim the discovery of excess heat effects in cold fusion. Some of their colleagues thought that since their discovery was...

Powder push Written by Robert Greenyer on 17 February 2014. We want everyone to know we are renewing our powder research effort and to get the ball rolling, we are pleased to announce the first new associate project member, Dr. Stoyan Sarg who has offered to share his insights with the MFMP. Stoyan has said that he believes that the MFMPs work at QuantumHeat.org and the process of Live Open Science we are pioneering is the best way to realise this technology for the people and that is why he is supporting us with his significant expertise. According to Dr....

Tunneling of slow quantum packets through the high Coulomb barrier A.V. Dodonov, V.V. Dodonov (Submitted on 16 Feb 2014) We study the tunneling of slow quantum packets through a high Coulomb barrier. We show that the transmission coefficient can be quite different from the standard expression obtained in the plane wave (WKB) approximation (and larger by many orders of magnitude), even if the momentum dispersion is much smaller than the mean value of the momentum.

2014 MIT Cold Fusion IAP Feb 1, 2014 Last Week I attended and filmed the 2014 Cold Fusion IAP Lectures at MIT for ColdfusionNow.org. I have already posted Monday's Lecture here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hyMIJLhfPI and am currently processing and editing the rest of the material which should be posted later this week (Keep checking back for links and updates) I am also putting together a video sumamry about these lectures which I will be posting on my AlienScientist YouTube Channel as well as ColdFusionNow.org. I will describe in very brief detail some of the things they went over. Stay tuned for my...

Disruptive Energy Generation London - With ever-declining reliability in supply and escalating electricity costs, more Ontario manufacturers are moving south. Remaining employers are hesitant to expand or to hire. At the same time the government talks about reducing the number of regional distribution utilities in a desperate attempt to obtain economies of scale needed to attract investment for upgrading legacy infrastructure. Old nuclear and coal plants require expensive retro fits, and transmission lines need to be expanded. Meanwhile solar installations by major industries and big-box retailers cut into the traditional captive customer base. Such then are some of the background...

Validation of the Observation of Soft X-ray Continuum Radiation from Low- Energy Pinch Discharges in the Presence of Molecular Hydrogen Alexander Bykanov, PhD Spectroscopy was performed at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), Cambridge, MA, USA by CfA spectroscopists under contract to GEN3 Partners Abstract Spectra of low-energy high current pinch discharges in pure molecular hydrogen and helium were recorded in the EUV region at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, MA, USA (CfA) in an attempt to reproduce experimental results published by BlackLight Power, Inc. showing continuum radiation only from hydrogen [1-2]. Alternative explanations to the claimed...

Answer to LA Times about John Huizenga, the physicist who helped discredit ‘cold fusion’ (LENR) Just today I fall on another article about the death of John Huizenga, the man who delayed the chance for Cold Fusion to make our world better of 10-20 years. John Huizenga dies at 92; physicist helped discredit 'cold fusion' John Huizenga worked on the Manhattan Project, helped discover two chemical elements and co-led inquiry into 'cold fusion,' the 'scientific fiasco of the century.' Thanks to LA Times to allow us to comment (it seems less and less allowed), but my dreamed answer was too...

Final Report of Cold Fusion 101 Class at MIT: The NANOR Emerges Posted on February 1, 2014 by admin • 43 Comments Many thanks to Barry Simon for submitting the following report about the 2014 Short Course 101 on Cold Fusion at MIT. In a word, Cold Fusion 101 at MIT was inspiring. The lectures started off with Peter Hagelstein discussing the early days of Pons and Fleischmann and why their first experiments were not successfully replicated. (Conspiracy theorists will be disappointed.) He also covered the most widely accepted CF theories, including his own, and went into a lot of...

Quantum physics in 1-D: New experiment supports long-predicted 'Luttinger liquid' model How would electrons behave if confined to a wire so slender they could pass through it only in single-file? Read more at: http://phys.org/news/2014-01-quantum-physics-d-long-predicted-luttinger.html#jCp The question has intrigued scientists for more than half a century. In 1950, Japanese Nobel Prize winner Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, followed by American physicist Joaquin Mazdak Luttinger in 1963, came up with a mathematical model showing that the effects of one particle on all others in a one-dimensional line would be much greater than in two- or three-dimensional spaces. Among quantum physicists, this model came to be...
