Is the Cold Fusion Revolution Here? Published March 8, 2014 |
There seems to be a lot happening in the world of cold fusion/low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) right now. So we can now rightly say that a cold fusion revolution could be beginning.
Some of the most important developments include:
Peter Hagelstein and Mitchell Swartz’s 2014 Cold Fusion Independent Activities Period (IAP) Course at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in January. Jerry Rys the Alien Scientist blogger attended the course and created a great video about it which does an excellent job of describing cold fusion what cold fusion is and laying out its early history. In particular Rys does a tremendous job of describing the science in such a way that even a history major like me could understand.
He doesn’t seem to be up on recent developments but hopefully that will change. The video is worth watching and showing to cold fusion skeptics. He also makes one important point:
Mitchell Swartz at work
“While critics and skeptics like to call cold fusion pathological science in light of recent events it seems that their denial is pathological,” Rys says of the skeptics. Rys seems to hit the nail on the head here. Rys has posted all of Swartz and Hagelstein’s lectures on his website.
He notes that Swartz started out as a skeptic who was out to debunk LENR. After doing some real research Swartz became a true believer and recently launched NANORTech a company working to commercialize cold fusion. Swartz has essentially been blacklisted by big science they’ll probably forgive him when he makes a billion dollars.
The IAP is really a set of lectures and not a course. There is no credit attached, Hagelstein himself noted that working in LENR can destroy your scientific career in Big Science.
Scenes from the 2014 MIT Cold Fusion IAP
Yet another cold fusion patent has been granted by the US Patent Office to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. USA.
EP 1202290 B1 issued on December 4, 2013, issues a patent for a “Nuclide Transmutation Device and Nuclide Transmutation Method” which would be used as a disposal process for long lived nuclear waste.
The US Patent Office it seems has quietly changed its mind about cold fusion and one of the world’s largest corporations is interested in it. I wonder what the big oil conspiracy theorists will make of this.
NASA is still showing a lot of interest in LENR aircraft. Its Aeronautics Research Institute discussed an LENR aircraft. A slide from the conference shows a giant aircraft called a comfortable global transport with a flight range of 12,500 miles and minimal noise pollution. It also mentions an autonomous package delivery package in other words a drone. That sounds like the US Air Force is interested in LENR.
Over in the United Kingdom Her Majesty’s military like the Pentagon is also interested in LENR. A PDF document put out by the UK’s Ministry of Defense called Global Strategic Trends Out to 2040 actually mentions LENR as something that strategists should worry about. It states:
“For example, the development of commercially available cold fusion reactors could result in the rapid economic marginalization of oil-rich states. This loss of status and income in undiversified economies could lead to state-failure and provide opportunities for extremist groups to rise in influence.”
Basically British generals and admirals think a new energy source is about to appear and that energy source will cause the collapse of states and governments reliant on oil profits such as Venezuela, Nigeria Saudi Arabia and Russia. It names that energy source as cold fusion.
That means the cold fusion revolution will be neither peaceful nor entirely beneficial. It will bankrupt some people and could increase political instability. The military men it seems believe in cold fusion if the so called scientists do not.
What an utterly disingenuous remark. SPAWAR did some amazing levels of research until they were cut off. Or do you have something against ACS publications? It is anti-science Luddite seagulls like you who were successful in cutting them off.
MIT is doing NO research on LENR.
As far as MIT, take that up with Dr. Hagelstein.
Again, It is anti-science Luddite seagulls like you who tried to cut him off.
Then why do you seagulls decry Rossi?
When he says something you like, all of a sudden he’s your best buddy?
Per the title of the article, apparently the Cold Fusion Revolution really is here.
Wow. That boggles the mind. We spent hundreds of $billions towards CHF and still we have these kinds of intellectual slugs presuming that all that money towards CHF actually got us something.
Or, is it that they think solar energy is an example of CHF?? Well, standing 93Million miles away from the source, they backtrack from that claim, don't they?
Or, maybe the
| Hydrogen Bomb is an example of CHF? |
| the sun, the stars,H-Bombs, are examples of CHF. |
One Example. Yeah, right. After I pointed out to you how ignorant it was to suppose that solar power is an example of Controlled Hot Fusion. It took you this long to come up to speed. Now, what do we hear? Crickets. Because you cannot even conceive
| how far off CHF is from Cold Fusion. |
Me: “PARWAR is doing NO research on LENR.
You: What an utterly disingenuous remark. SPAWAR did some amazing levels of research until they were cut off. Or do you have something against ACS publications? It is anti-science Luddite seagulls like you who were successful in cutting them off.
As I posted, SPAWAR is doing NO research on LENR.
Me: MIT is doing NO research on LENR.
You: As far as MIT, take that up with Dr. Hagelstein.
Oh, you are referring to the dude that can’t make full professor and lost his lab due to his kooky ideas on LENR.
“I haven’t posted a “Rossi Says” article for more than 2 years”
Rossi’s LENR home unit is scheduled for delivery this month (according to Rossi).
Do yo have your FedEx tracking number yet?
“You can’t generate energy very well when it takes more power in than power out”
Your article where CHF generates more power out than in ...

Absafreepinglutely. It was skeptopathic
| "nice guys" like you |

“even though he was able do DEMONSTRATE just how correct he was.”
Totally amazing. He has had this NANCOR running for months and nobody will go look at it. Public invited.
There goes your conspiracy theory. He has it running for the public!
BTW, when are you getting your Rossi Home Machine. Due for delivery this month (per Rossi).
“Your RIDICULOUS response to someone who jasn’t posted a “rossi says” article in 2 years is to ask that RIDICULOUS freeping question?”
I take it he won’t refund your deposit?
