The students at Leopoldo Pirelli High School in Rome, Italy, successfully duplicated the Rossi-Focardi device creating their own working nickel-hydrogen fusion system.
I call B.S., until someone shows me the neutrons.
Cold fusion is like homeopathy. There is no shortage of believers in spite of the lack of evidence.
C.W.
Media speculation on cold fusion.
Not really. Their approach is significantly different from the Rossi-Focardi approach (but still considered under the overall umbrella of "Cold Fusion"). There are others who have experimented with similar devices.
It may not be cold fusion, but if it’s not then it’s some interesting chemistry and therefore still worth investigating.
Seems to me that calling the observations “Cold Fusion” is premature and counterproductive.
There appears to be something going on. We ought to collectively figure out what it is and what the underlying mechanisms are before we hang a name on it that frankly (and perhaps unfairly) has a lot of baggage attached to it.
This states it all: “Cold fusion is, conceivably, a third type of nuclear reaction .... that somehow occurs at relatively low temperatures.”
A Miracle!!!!!
USN&WR no longer publishes their weekly news magazine.
After all the hollering about Rossi for a year or two, now that he’s supposed to be producing actual generators the press about him seems to have disappeared.
A likely source of the “excess energy” is the oxidation of the metal electrodes.
Ping!.........
I don't much care what it gets called. I'm not going to split hairs about nomenclature. My interest is in the physical evidence for the effect, of which there is a great deal.
Nonetheless....a fact.
Well, there is "something" out there that calls itself "US News and World Report". I dropped USN&WR years ago when it made the transition from neutral news source to liberal cheerleading.
Nope. WAY too much energy output for that to account for it. Read up on Celani's recent INVITED demonstartion at NIWEEK (National Instrument's "cross-fertilization" symposium).
Anomalous Heat Effects (AKA: Low Energy Nuclear Reactions)
Listen as Dr. Duncan and Greg Morrow talk about our need to expand our experimental approach to develop more research on anomalous heat effects. These effects have been referred to as ‘cold fusion’ and ‘low-energy nuclear reactions’ in the past, but these names imply an understanding of the physical origin of these anomalous effects that in fact does not yet exist. NI LabVIEW is at the heart of each of these experiments that may help develop and unravel the mysteries of the many theories.
