Cold Fusion Ping list
Fusioms again?
Read later.
Much a say about nothing in this article. Seems like cold fusion or its participants are modern day alchemists.
If I understand at the quantum level matter does not travel but changes. In ancient Greece. Zeno posited the phenomena of quantum mechanic in describing his arrow. He was saying that depending how one looked at it, either the arrow was flying because of movement or should have fallen straight down if instead it was seen as a film like image that changes from frame to frame.
At the the quantum level the image changes from frame to frame instead of it being actual motion of the particle. This is why at higher pressure fusion occurs mire readily, because the particles want to move and are forced instead into a state of changing and metamorphosing environment.
If there is cold fusion, it is in part because they have pressure, and not because the metal gets impregnated better - just as super conduction at room temperature is possible under pressure. The only thing the purity of the crystal do is force the particles to order themselves from motion and thus are switching to a mode of changing.
need is the mother of invention
Japan needs energy
Again - just like we are already seeing with the “green” energy push that relies so much on advanced batteries. whether for vehicles or for energy storage - it appears cold fusion advancements are heading to be dependent on rare earth metals/minerals. And, cold fusion might even be competing not just with the battery industry but others using rare earth metals - such as in computers and other telecom applications. That may make going from theory to practical reality a problem of economics as much as engineering. Then again, a single cold fusion chamber may cost less and have greater economic return than other applications that the same materials were used for.
A little History.
The Japanese have supported cold fusion research for a VERY long time. They are in for the long haul.

"Other collaborative experiments verified the continuous generation of excess heat over periods ranging up to a month. All 11 experiments using the specially-prepared palladium-nickel-zirconium and copper-nickel-zirconium samples demonstrated net heat production. The total amounts of energy released were larger per atom than in any known chemical reaction, sometimes by a factor of several hundred."
Multiple replications of experimental results by different groups in different labs. The sine qua non of hard science.
Leif Holmlid used Shell 105 in his Rydberg Matter research, which is a hydrogen stripping catalyst useful in generating styrene plastics. Rydberg matter is an ordered arrangement of atoms into a regular geometric form with a planer structure, reminiscent of a snowflake. Production of RM from hydrogen gases requires a transfer of excess energy, somewhat analogous to the condensation of a gas to liquid accompanied by the release of “latent heat.”
Most of the successful hydrogen energy experiments in which the gas is adsorbed into a metallic lattice, release just about the same heat energy as Holmlid’s transforming hydrogen gas into the more dense Rydberg form.
