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 incredibly disingenuous, lying, piece of crap from a skeptopath, the same seagull who happened to post the entire contents of the press release of Industrial Heat where it was announced that $20M was invested in Rossi.
***Like all those Controlled Hot Fusion (CHF) frauds who have been pushing their garbage for 50 years now, and still there's nothing to expect from them for 50 friggin years.
They are
| 25 TrillionBillionMillion times worse frauds | than anything to do with the noble cold fusioneers. |
Well, that makes you a rare kind of skeptic indeed. Most of these FR pseudoskeptics won't read anything. They prefer to be ignorant.
No doubt, the skeptopaths will say they were in on the conspiracy, an ever-widening conspiracy that engulfs hundreds of scientists so far.
A VERY legitimate question. When one asks that of the CHF boys, we realize that their $Billion budgets were endangered by these noble cold fusioneers, most of whom seemed to be electrochemists rather than physicists, so there was a huge internecine science arrogance battle to be fought there.
But we only really see the skeptopaths investigate the LENR guys rather than the CHF guys, do we? The CHF guys took the taxpayers for hundrehttp://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l%40eskimo.com/msg90393.htmlds of $billions, while the noble cold fusioneers might account for a few tens of $millions of private money.

Then by all means, show me how dolly the sheep has been "consistently" reproduced. You will find that your standard will not only be considerably reduced, it will be wiped out.
Why does weak H2O2 produce 1000 times more energy than any possible chemical reaction?
Ok, then, sure. Let’s show lurkers what kind of an idiot is off by 4500 ORDERS of MAGNITUDE when you postulate that H202 can account for all the supposed errors.
Here’s an illustration. Let’s say you’re dumb enough to think that a normal mosquito on a normal day has enough kinetic energy to knock over an elephant 99% of the time under normal conditions. A mosquito weighs about a gram, and an elephant weighs about 10,000 kilograms, maybe 7 orders of magnitude more than that puny little skeptopath idiotic mosquito. But for the sake of argument, we’ll grant you those 7 orders of magnitude. Then you claim that the mosquito can knock the earth off its axis on a normal day with normal conditions, that’s about 12 orders of magnitude. Maybe now you’re saying that stupid, ridiculous, skeptopath adam henry mosquito can knock out our entire solar system with is normal kinetic energy. That’s about 25 order of magnitude.
You dimwits aren’t off by 7 orders, nor 12 orders, nor just 25 orders of magnitude. You’re off by 4500!!! That stupid, idiotic, skeptopathic jerk of a mosquito can knock over all the planets in our solar system and send them reeling at light speed to knock out every other solar system in their path within 500 Million Light Years, at Superluminal speeds. Under normal conditions. That’s how far off you idiots are.
And you wonder why I lose patience.
But, of course, I made no such claim.
And you wonder why I lose patience.
Is it because I took 15 minutes to refute your silly claim? The claim you had been making for months.
To be candid, it would appear that this particular skeptopathic claim applies to perhaps 20 experiments. So there are 13980 for him to explain.
Nope. Not even once.
Otherwise you'd be talking about how many other times among the 14000 replications that your claim does not apply.
My calculation showed your claim was wrong.
Your calculation proved diddly squat.
It did prove your claim was incorrect.
Exactly WHAT chemical reaction is it that describes putting Hydrogen gas onto a nickel lattice and getting the levels of heat involved? NONE. You like to postulate that H202 can explain it, but then that would mean 14000 other experiments had to be in collusion and fraud on some vast conspiracy theory. Best of luck with that.
