nunthin` new-

Germans used heavy water in Norway in 1940-41(?)-

Any schoolboy knows that using heavy water with concentrated naturally radioactive minerals cause more fission = more heat

duhhhhhh.

In other news, a cure for cancer appears to be “just around the corner”.

heat is interesting but it is not work .....

Will Lenny Lenr visit my house this year? No. New patents to be obtained, new technology to be developed and tested, says Rossi. And new time tables no doubt. 2012? 2013? 14???

What isn't new is the hype and hot air. So far not one usable model produced, not one.

From the article: "... producing 1479J heat ..."

Pretty impressive precision on this measurement. That's 0.07% below 1480 and 1.4% below 1500.

“Pd rich nanoparticles”

If this thing works, I’d like to know how much the costs are to produce these nanoparticles. Also, are they consumed in the reaction, and if so, how much energy is produced before they are used up vs the cost to produce them. That factor needs to be taken into account, otherwise they could be hiding something that makes their reaction less effecient than it appears.

Once again, i post as a long time lurker, just to say THANK YOU for keeping us all up to date on this fascinating topic. Don’t worry too much about the naysayers, none of us even read their wailings.
