Answer to LA Times about John Huizenga, the physicist who helped discredit ‘cold fusion’ (LENR) Just today I fall on another article about the death of John Huizenga, the man who delayed the chance for Cold Fusion to make our world better of 10-20 years. John Huizenga dies at 92; physicist helped discredit 'cold fusion' John Huizenga worked on the Manhattan Project, helped discover two chemical elements and co-led inquiry into 'cold fusion,' the 'scientific fiasco of the century.' Thanks to LA Times to allow us to comment (it seems less and less allowed), but my dreamed answer was too...

Final Report of Cold Fusion 101 Class at MIT: The NANOR Emerges Posted on February 1, 2014 by admin • 43 Comments Many thanks to Barry Simon for submitting the following report about the 2014 Short Course 101 on Cold Fusion at MIT. In a word, Cold Fusion 101 at MIT was inspiring. The lectures started off with Peter Hagelstein discussing the early days of Pons and Fleischmann and why their first experiments were not successfully replicated. (Conspiracy theorists will be disappointed.) He also covered the most widely accepted CF theories, including his own, and went into a lot of...

Quantum physics in 1-D: New experiment supports long-predicted 'Luttinger liquid' model How would electrons behave if confined to a wire so slender they could pass through it only in single-file? Read more at: http://phys.org/news/2014-01-quantum-physics-d-long-predicted-luttinger.html#jCp The question has intrigued scientists for more than half a century. In 1950, Japanese Nobel Prize winner Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, followed by American physicist Joaquin Mazdak Luttinger in 1963, came up with a mathematical model showing that the effects of one particle on all others in a one-dimensional line would be much greater than in two- or three-dimensional spaces. Among quantum physicists, this model came to be...

Title shortened Leading Researcher Says he has replicated at Least Five LENR technologies for US Government Admits working for DARPA One of the top cold fusion researchers, Dr. Michael McKubre of SRI or the Stanford Research Institute; said he has tested between 12 and 15 low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) technologies for the United States government. If that wasn’t enough, McKubre said his team was able to replicate at least five of those technologies. Michael McKubre with David Firshein of Brillouin and fellow researcher Francis L. Tanzella in his lab at SRI courtesy Sterling D. Allen McKubre made these revelations...

Cold fusion continues to progress stealthily into the mainst Postby ko » Sun Jan 19, 2014 7:51 pm Cold fusion continues to progress stealthily into the mainstream Science 15 January 14 by David Hambling http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/201 ... mainstream Flickr / cc-licensed jmayer Cold fusion, otherwise known as Low Energy Nuclear Reactions or LENR is fringe science -- but it continues to progress stealthily into the mainstream. The developments over the last few months have been in business rather than science, with focus shifting towards commercialising a technology claimed to be able to generate unlimited energy from cheap, desktop-sized reactors. The current...

Stanislaw Szpak ∗ , † and Frank Gordon ‡ SPAWAR Systems Center, San Diego, CA 92152. USA Abstract A selected group of experimental evidence indicates that the Pd/D–D 2 O system can be put in its nuclear active state. This is done by negatively polarizing the system which (i) starts the process of self-organization, i.e. development of coherent processes involving protons/deuterons and lattice defects to produce the pre-nuclear active state and (ii) creates conditions for the electron capture by proton/deuteron reaction to occur. The low energy neutrons transform the pre-nuclear active state into an active state, i.e. display of features...

The Peak Oil Crisis: Cold Fusion Moves East January 7, 2014 5:44 PM 23 Comments By Tom Whipple Many of us believe that life on this planet is in a lot of trouble. The climate is becoming unstable; there are too many people; oceans are dying, sea levels are rising; and water, food, clean air, and minerals are coming into short supply. For many, the economy refuses to grow fast enough to maintain living standards. Although appreciated by only a handful, the evidence continues to build that, unless we have reached some kind of a tipping point, there may be...

Some great sleuthing by E-Cat World reader ‘Mr. Moho’ has turned up more information about the Cherokee Investment Partnership involvement with the E-Cat. An article on a Chinese site called Icebank.cn, (apparently a refrigeration company) provides more information about Cherokee Investment Partners CEO Thomas Darden’s recent visit to China in connection with his involvement with the newly formed company Industrial Heat LLC. It must be noted that the information gleaned has come from a Google translation of the article, and so some of the quotes and details may be a little confusing, but I think the general gist of the...

Previous Next Industry and academic partnerships report from JCF-14 meeting [Translate] The Japanese Cold Fusion Research Society (JCF) held their fourteenth meeting on December 7-8, 2013 at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Tokyo, Japan where teams from academia and industry reported on their research. Japanese business was an early supporter of cold fusion, also called Condensed-matter Fusion (CF), with giants like Toyota Corporation funding research that supported Drs. Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons in their French laboratory. Over the twenty-five years since, official support waned for the notoriously difficult-to-reproduce reaction. The Japanese Cold Fusion Society (JCF) was formed in...
