Navy Chemist May Have Rediscovered 'Cold Fusion'
Fos News ^ | Wednesday, March 25, 2009

Posted on 03/25/2009 5:17:10 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Twenty years ago this week, a pair of previously unknown scientists stunned the world by announcing they'd done the impossible by achieving nuclear fusion in a lab flask at room temperature.

Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons quickly became celebrities as the news media hailed them for discovering a cheap source of nearly limitless power. But it all fell apart as other scientists couldn't duplicate their results, and the pair later admitted they'd made mistakes in the experiments.

Now a U.S. Navy researcher, speaking on the anniversary of and in the same city where they made their announcement, thinks Fleischmann and Pons may have been right.

Take it to the bank. If someone was to find a way to generate an infinite amount of energy from the air, it would be done.

Maybe not in America right away (though even that I don’t believe) but certainly somewhere. Russia. China. South Korea. Japan.

Somewhere a technology for infinite free energy would be used.

If you deny that, you’re a dreamer on the scale of John Lennon.

‘kay I get it. This is thread reborn because of the recently reported variability of nuclear decay rates based on solar cycle. ‘strue?

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

Now round 2?

I remember that. Something to do with some kind of chocolate snack contamination.

Thanks for the ping. Kinda old, though...

The future of nuclear is cold fusion.

Let’s see it duplicated repeatedly, by several other laboratories.

Then we’ll talk.

Whenever I hear of coldfusion I think of the movie IQ.

Meg Ryan. Mmmmmmmmm!

( the earlier, pre-facelift one)

I think you could achieve cold fusion if Harpo Marx and Curly Howard ran into each other, full speed with cream pies of some sort.

Just saying...

Mrs. Smith’s. They’re frozen, perfect material for the experiment.

I object to the fact that the Strong Nuclear Force and Weak Nuclear Force have been studied inside out, but no research has ever been done in the Average Nuclear Force. That just sucks.

The thread started in 2009, and I looked for any new substantiation of progress.

Couldn't find it, so would you please provide a link for us all?

New, reproducible results.

Let’s start with this article. And let me know how much money you’re willing to put on the table.
