This is a series of 100 slides by Lewis Larsen (co-formulator of the "Widom-Larson" theory of cold fusion).

The slides basically cover the experiments in which cesium is converted to praesodymium under mild energy conditions in a "cold fusion" approach, but there is much background LENR info included.

When I looked at the title of this thread, I swear I thought that somehow a Toyota Cs had been transmuted into a Mitsubishi Pr. I wondered "is this some kind of scientific joke?"

Anyway, it looks interesting. Thanks for posting.

Hmmmm, Toyota? Kind of doubt they’re faking it...

[Moonman62]

In Oct. 2013, Toyota published a paper in the peer-reviewed Japanese Journal of Applied Physics which confirmed important experimental results that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries had first published in 2002.

So this outlandish claim has been around for over a decade and nothing has come of it, except another outlandish claim.

Wow. This is really something. If their results can be duplicated, it’s a game changer.

Pons and Fleischmann should go down in history, and probably will.

They’re the opposite of Michelson and Morley. M&M set out to prove something big, and when they didn’t... opened the door to something even bigger. AFAIK, no one laughed at them when they announced that they could not find evidence of the “luminiferous aether.”

P&F set out to prove something big and did so. Because of university politics surrounding them, they were driven off the stage by catcalls and thrown tomatoes.

I think P&F be remembered in much the same way as Davisson and Germer, who demonstrated the existence of electron spin - a purely quantum effect - using macroscopic apparatus. By showing that quantum mechanics governed the behavior of particles with mass just as it does photons, they played a huge role in defeating the last of the quantum skeptics (what today we would call “quantum deniers” LOL).

It will fall to others to do the same for P&F, but if these results hold up, it will be done for P&F. Only a matter of time.

When will MIT - the center of gravity of the anti-LENR backlash back in 1989 - start asking for federal money to do LENR research? That’ll be when the dam bursts.

Toyota - IIRC - took P&F under their wing after the 1989 uproar subsided. They’re not stupid, obviously.

pingaling ... LENR revisted

[Steely Tom]

"...it would not be surprising if their ongoing LENR R&D programs aim to ultimately replace the internal combustion engine.

Put yourself in the place of a member of the Saudi royal family. Try to imagine what you'd be thinking when you read that, especially when you think of the track record of the advanced countries when it comes to applying the results of scientific research.

Mitsubiushi - advancements in science from the people that brought you Pearl Harbor™.

There’s a whole bunch of transmutation goin’ on here!

Where are the alchemists when we need them?
