. Gerald Celente on “the biggest element that could change the world in a positive way” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gerald Celente is singular in his field. Founder of the Trends Institute and their signature publication Trends Journal, he features new energy in his forecasting work. An early subscriber to Infinite Energy magazine and friend to Eugene Mallove, Celente has been following and writing about cold fusion since 1989. Why is he so alone among forecasters? Gerald Celente answers in this CFN exclusive. “Whether it’s infinite energy, or the economy or geopolitics, people have belief systems, and it’s very hard to break out...

(In an interview)Rossi tried to clear up one new mystery by admitting that the 1 megawatt ecat plant he had delivered to an unidentified “military customer” on Oct. 28, 2011 did not work. Rossi told Allen that that there were lots of problems with that unit including hydraulics failures, distribution failures and a poor choice of coolant. He said a new unit that presumably has many of the bugs worked out was built and shipped to the military customer. Some statements indicate that Rossi and his team are close to being able to create steam for the generation of electricity...

"That’s the opinion of Rob Duncan, vice chancellor of research at the University of Missouri. He is in the early stages of pitching a plan to establish a national research program that would help scientists study tabletop energy....... “Without a nationally funded program, you’re going to be limited by the scope of what you can do,” he said....... Duncan is optimistic higher-ups might be willing to pay attention, even in tight budget times. At a conference in August, representatives from the Naval Research Laboratory presented findings from several experiments where excess heat was produced in a laboratory."....... (this article was...

Scientists must Study the Nuclear Weak Force to Better Understand LENR By Daily Energy Report | Tue, 07 May 2013 21:33 | 2 In the early part of the 20th Century physicists theorized that a mysterious force held the nucleus of an atom together. When it was demonstrated that this force could be tapped, releasing tremendous amounts of energy, a wave of excitement swept the scientific world. It took only a few short years before atomic energy theories were experimentally validated in the first nuclear weapon detonations. Hiroshima and Nagasaki followed. Most of us alive today were born under the...

As Rossi’s e-Cat is barely staying alive on life support, and long time friends and bloggers are losing interest, and closing down blogs, Mr. Roger Green is trying to cash in as the e-Cat gasps its last few breaths, to try and recoup his money back, leaving these last few rounds of investors holding the bag. What you will find is that Roger Green and Andrea Rossi have reached a new low. They are selling “shares” in a Japan organization that does not exist yet, to buy a “license” that does not exist yet, and the “license” is for products that...

Engineers planning the world’s largest nuclear fusion reactor have completed designs for the system’s most technically challenging component, known as the ‘blanket’. The team at ITER based in southern France are hoping to build the first experimental nuclear fusion reactor to generate more energy than it consumes, with the aim of creating a power source that doesn’t produce carbon dioxide or large amounts of long-term radioactive waste. The proposed blanket system that will line the inside of ITER’s doughnut-shaped 500MW tokamak reactor chamber overcomes the major challenge of how to absorb some of the 150 million °C heat that will...

Central and Tensor Contributions to the Phonon-exchange Matrix Element for the D2/4He Transition Peter L. Hagelstein Research Laboratory of Electronics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA Irfan U. Chaudhary Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Engineering and Technology. Lahore, Pakistan Abstract The biggest theoretical problem associated with excess heat in the Fleischmann–Pons experiment in our view has been the absence of energetic particles in amounts commensurate with the energy produced. In response we have pursued models in which the large nuclear energy quantum is fractionated into a great many lower energy quanta. To connect these idealized...

Superheated Bose-Einstein condensate exists above critical temperature April 10, 2013 by Lisa Zyga Physicists created a BEC that can persist at up to 1.5 times hotter than the critical temperature at which it normally decays. The BEC can survive in the superheated regime for more than a minute when different components of the boson gas are not in equilibrium. Credit: Alexander L. Gaunt, et al. ©2013 Macmillan Publishers Limited (Phys.org) — At very low temperatures, near absolute zero, multiple particles called bosons can form an unusual state of matter in which a large fraction of the bosons in a...

On Theory and Science Generally in Connection with the Fleischmann-Pons Experiment Peter L. Hagelstein 6 INFINITE ENERGY • ISSUE 108 • MARCH/APRIL 2013 I was encouraged to contribute to an editorial generally on the topic of theory in science, in connection with publication of a paper focused on some recent ideas that Ed Storms has put forth regarding a model for how excess heat works in the Fleischmann-Pons experiment. Such a project would compete for my time with other commitments, including teaching, research and family-related commitments; so I was reluctant to take it on. On the other hand I...

Coherent Oscillations in an Exciton-Polariton Josephson Junction K. G. Lagoudakis1, B. Pietka1, M. Wouters2, R. André3, B. Deveaud-Plédran1 1ICMP, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne(EPFL),1015 Lausanne, Switzerland. 2ITP, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne(EPFL),1015 Lausanne, Switzerland. 3Institut Néel, CNRS, Grenoble, France. Abstract: We report on the observation of spontaneous coherent oscillations in a microcavity polariton bosonic Josephson junction. The condensation of exciton polaritons takes place under incoherent excitation in a disordered environment, where double potential wells tend to appear in the disordered landscape. Coherent oscillations set on at an excitation power well above the condensation threshold. The time resolved population and phase...

There has been steady progress in the world of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR), better known as Cold Fusion, in the last few months. The main commercial players have been quiet but the open-source Martin Fleishmann Memorial Project (MFMP) has made some big steps towards its goal of proving the reality of LENR to a skeptical world. Bob Greenyeris one of the driving forces behind the MFMP. He's a successful entrepreneur, having run a diverse portfolio of businesses in the fields of pharmaceuticals, finance, advertising and education. But now he's in a business that costing him money rather than making...

How Nature refused to re-examine the 1989 CalTech experiment Jed Rothwell LENR-CANR.org May 2012 Abstract In 1989 Nature published a paper by Lewis [1] showing no excess heat in a cold fusion experiment. Several researchers including Noninski, Miles and Fleischmann discovered errors in this paper. Noninski wrote a critique of the paper describing one of these errors, and submitted it for publication. David Lindley, an editor at Nature, rejected the critique. This paper examines some of the errors in the paper, and Lindley’s reasons for refusing to re-examine the experiment. Background In May 1989, Lewis et al. at Caltech published...

Tiny Nuclear Reactions Inside Compact Fluorescent Bulbs? Harmless low-energy nuclear reactions may be taking place routinely inside of compact fluorescent lightbulbs, according to a physicist whose theories have NASA researchers abuzz with the prospect of cheap, non-polluting energy. Nuclear reactions may be responsible for an unusual fingerprint of mercury isotopes in used fluorescents that can identify environmental pollution from the bulbs, said Lewis Larsen, a Chicago physicist associated with the Widom-Larsen Theory, which explores slow nuclear reactions among elements that are not radioactive. “Unbeknownst to the general public, dynamically active nuclear processes are presently occurring in tens of millions of...

Ex nihilo: Dynamical Casimir effect in metamaterial converts vacuum fluctuations into real photons March 8, 2013 by Stuart Mason Dambrot Copyright © PNAS, doi:10.1073/pnas.1212705110 (Phys.org) —In the strange world of quantum mechanics, the vacuum state (sometimes referred to as the quantum vacuum, simply as the vacuum) is a quantum system's lowest possible energy state. While not containing physical particles, neither is it an empty void: Rather, the quantum vacuum contains fluctuating electromagnetic waves and so-called virtual particles, the latter being known to transition into and out of existence. In addition, the vacuum state has zero-point energy – the lowest quantized...
