Thanks for posting this.

I went to the link and went through all thirteen.

Lot’s of good food for thought.

It would be a downright hilarious hoot and a riot if it became open source of some sort of cold fusion device that could be used as a weapon say from removing a safety parameter, such as seen in certain movies.

And suddenly all across America while Obama is sending out thousands of MRAPS and drones ordinary, well smarter than most have conjured up red neck versions of cold fusion IEDs or claymores.

A sudden tilt in the supremacy scale.

The world is full of mysteries and surprises, things we just don't understand, yet.

We're living in someone else's dark age.

The article was apparently published 8 years ago. Any resolution fir any of these things as yet?

I'm pretty sure something is happening in the CF experiments. I'm not yet convinced it's not a chemical reaction. If they could figure out the mechanics of it enough to get consistent, sustainable results, it would be cool. I don't think we know everything there is to know.

"The snag is that fusion at room temperature is deemed impossible by every accepted scientific theory."

Which means that some theoretical physicist is missing out on his Nobel Prize.

"That doesn't matter, according to David Nagel, an engineer at George Washington University in Washington DC. Superconductors took 40 years to explain, he points out, so there's no reason to dismiss cold fusion. "The experimental case is bulletproof," he says. "You can't make it go away."

Note the bolded portion. The skeptoid faction here at FR absolutely refuses to examine the experimental evidence, or in many cases, simply denies that it exists. That attitude is pseudoscience, not science.

For lurkers, the quickest introduction to the experimental evidence for CF is Charles Beaudette's book "Excess Heat". It doesn't have the absolute latest results, but what it does cover is more than sufficient to make the science case.

The rest can be found either in Storm's book on LENR, or from the library of papers in the LENR/CANR collection.

AFTER 16 years, it's back. In fact, cold fusion never really went away.

That's because it never really arrived.

All the theories were in on lasers way back in the 1920s but it took another 40 years to make one. Now we have them dripping off our dinner plates ~ if we really wanna'

Gives me an idea for a design. Using the heat differential from the top of the plate to the bottom on the cooler table, we power up a lasing diode array ~ which lays in a pleasing design to the plate facing the diner.

Make steaks look bigger ~ for example ~ without adding all those extra calories and fats.
