Those who denounced Pons and Fleischmann regarding their cold fusion (now known as LENR) are starting to realize they have egg on their face. It is increasingly clear that despite having made mistakes (which is true in all experiments) that their apparatus DID manage to fuse nuclei. No one yet has been able to explain why or how they managed to get such a remarkable result, but is clear that many similar experiments are fusing nuclei.

Excess energy DOES appear to be released. Fusion actually APPEARS to be occurring. Efficient use of this energy requires that experiment and theoreticians uncover the mechanism and principles underlying the process, and to increase the number of reactions many orders of magnitude. One of the runs of Pons and Fleischmann seemed close to the magnitude needed, but it has not yet been able to be replicated. The current experiments are using very closely controlled parameters for good reason, and they have not strayed into whatever “perfect error” that P&F quite possibly made. I won’t be surprised if Pons and Fleischmann eventually get a Nobel Prize for their widely derided work.

I remind everyone that it has been common in the history of science that well known phenomena have not been properly explained by the theoreticians for hundreds of years.

This is exciting news but not the only thing going on in the world of Cold Fusion. I came across this process called SuperWave Fusion it seems to have similar results. They have produced excess heat and 2 independent labs have replicated the process. Plus it seems the NRL is involved as well. Check out their website it's very interesting EnergeticsTechnologies.com I think Cold Fusion is back and this time to stay.

I don´t really recall anyone the scientific community ¨renouncing¨ them. It´s just that their results could not be reproduced.

Now round 2?
