MIT IAP Cold Fusion 101 to run again [Translate]
The IAP course on cold fusion co-taught by Drs. Peter Hagelstein and Mitchell Swartz is scheduled to run again in 2014 for a third year in a row.
Cold Fusion 101: Introduction to Excess Power in Fleischmann-Pons Experiments will be held on campus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) January 27-January 31 at 10:30AM-1:30PM in Room 4-145. The class is sponsored by the MIT Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department where Hagelstein is a faculty member.
In 2012, the course was well-attended and featured a JET Energy, Inc demonstration of the NANOR, a nano-material, two-terminal component that generates excess energy gain using a dry, pre-loaded hydrogen fuel. Open to the public for viewing, the NANOR ran for months in Hagelstein’s office. Massachusetts State Senator Bruce Tarr visited the campus to witness the event, and is now a supporter of the pioneer technology.
Cold Fusion Now’s Jeremy Rys attended the course in 2013 and videod the lectures throughout the week. Problems with the audio feed were lessened with a second Enhanced Audio edit by uploadJ. Watch the 2013 background and theory lectures by Peter Hagelstein here, and see the experimental and technology talks by Mitchell Swartz of JET Energy, Inc. here.
The course syllabus includes:
Excess power production in the Fleischmann-Pons experiment; lack of confirmation in early negative experiments; theoretical problems and Huizenga’s three miracles; physical chemistry of PdD; electrochemistry of PdD; loading requirements on excess power production; the nuclear ash problem and He-4 observations; approaches to theory; screening in PdD; PdD as an energetic particle detector; constraints on the alpha energy from experiment; overview of theoretical approaches; coherent energy exchange between mismatched quantum systems; coherent x-rays in the Karabut experiment and interpretation; excess power in the NiH system; Piantelli experiment; and prospects for a new small scale clean nuclear energy technology.
Independent Activities Program (IAP) is designed for MIT students wishing to learn between semesters, but enrollment is open with permission from the instructor and there is no advance registration required.

LOL!!!

When someone makes as many wild-eyed claims as you do ... they’re just memorable for how whacky they are.
Other than you being whacky and memorable ... I don’t keep five-year archives of certain people and what they say. if I did, then I would be as whacky as you ... :-) ...
You’re still here, trolling?
T4BTT
You’re getting way too predictable ...
I thought we were having a back-and-forth conversation ...
Not with a troll.
T4BTT
OMG, you didn’t post an LOL!!!! It must be the first time, EVER.
T4BTT
Then who are you replying to ... :-) ...
T4BTT
One can only laugh so much before their stomach starts hurting. I have to admit, you’re the one who can get me to laughing.
T4BTT, troll.
This thread (and recent comments) is like a ball bouncing ... as long as no one slaps the ball down again, it finally quits bouncing. It kinda looks like the last bounce or two ...
Go back to your brandy, ST.
T4BTT
“bounce” ... :-) ...
Oh, cool. It looks like over-the-top insults are being allowed.
Well, listen here, shortpants. You obviously know NOTHING about LENR and have posted ZERO in furtherance of the science behind the claims.
That means you’re here to jump on a bandwagon and join in on the insults, and it’s intellectual lightweights like you who will jump right on the bandwagon when this technology gets out into the clear. How do I know? Because idiots just like you were the loudest detractors of the Wright brothers, and then they were the first to claim the Wrights had it all along. They didn’t investigate one iota behind the claims, just put their slimy fingers into the wind to determine what direction things were going.
That makes you an incredible slime ball. I have so much confidence in this stuff that I’ve already made money at it, but you couldn’t generate a scientific argument to save your sorry little crybaby life. You’re pathetic.

Come on, post some inane comment so I can

My take big pic take aways so far from the Winter 2013 MIT course are that:
CF is real. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that D+D --> 4He happens in metal crystals.
The theoretical physics are still lagging, but making significant, but slow progress.
Some peeps are working on process development to bring useful systems to market.
Bottom line: Fleischmann and Pons should get a Nobel Prize.
bandwagon trolls don’t read the literature...
My skin is thick enough. When we see gang trolling, it is an attempt at vigilante censorship.
Look through Star Traveler’s posting history, you’ll see that she’s just here to troll. She derives pleasure from it, and it’s certainly no coincidence that another troll showed up saying LOL all the time. She obviously has multiple signups.
So I close the loop on whatever threads they evacuate themselves upon, point lurkers to the literature and answered questions, then let the thread die.
Bottom line: Fleischmann and Pons should get a Nobel Prize.
***Nobel prizes are only given to people still alive. Fleischmann is already gone. Pons probably isn’t far behind him.
