Who is working on Cold Fusion? Even though most of the attention is focused on Andrea Rossi and e-cat there is a lot of cold fusion work going on. Quite a few scientists seem to be keeping it quiet in order to avoid criticism from the scientific establishment and the media. Others are keeping their work under wraps because they want to protect patents and future profits . A 2009 Defense Analysis Report prepared by the US Defense Intelligence Agency detailed some of this work. Some of the highlights of Cold Fusion work going on around the world include:...

Author name Giuliano Bettini* Title Cold Fusion. Andrea RossiÂ’s Method Abstract The interest on Andrea Rossi's Nickel-Hydrogen Cold Fusion technology is accelerating. In the present article I would like to answer a question posed by L. Kowalsky in Vixra: how can 30% of nickel in RossiÂ’s reactor be transmuted into copper? "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler", says a guy. I apologizes if I am too simplistic here. ________________ * Retired. Earlier: Selenia SpA, Rome and IDS SpA, Pisa.

An Unifying Basis for all the Nuclear Reactions Karunakar Marasakatla (Updated: May 23rd, 2011) (www.kmarasakatla.com) Abstract A successful explanation of the actual underlying physical process for an observed phenomenon will lead to the prediction of other possible scenarios for that process. A new understanding of how the nuclear reactions such as the fission and fusion works leads to the explanation of other observed anomalies. All the nuclear reactions, including the low energy nuclear reactions, appear to be the manifestation of the collapse and or expansion of a group of particles . Keywords: transitive property of equality, neutron star, singularity,...

Professor Levi admin on August 24, 2011 Professor Levi, sometimes whipping boy for those seeking to rubbish Andrea Rossi’s eCat, took centre stage in journalist Steven Krivit’s most recent attack. I expected the watching of it to be painful and indeed the scientist’s discomfort in places is obvious. That said, it was not as bad as I expected . Reading the tealeaves from comments around the Net, those who were looking for an incompetent man shaped what they saw to suit that view while Krivit-haters saw an unsuspecting and honest person ambushed by a cynic who cared nothing for...

The Extended Micro Hot Fusion Scenario Rainer W. Kühne Tuckermannstr. 35, 38118 Braunschweig, Germany kuehne70@gmx.de The cold fusion neutron emissions, neutron bursts, and heat bursts can be explained by the extended micro hot fusion scenario. I describe the model and present the experimental evidence. During the years 1986 and 1989 three experimental teams independently reported to have discovered cold fusion. The experiments differed strongly from one another, both in the applied methods and the reported results. Hence, the observational results need not necessarily result from one unique physical mechanism. Let us take a brief look at these three types...

Over the next 18 months, the Environmental Protection Agency will finalize a flurry of new rules to curb pollution from coal-fired power plants. Mercury, smog, ozone, greenhouse gases, water intake, coal ash—it’s all getting regulated. And, not surprisingly, some lawmakers are grumbling. Industry groups such the Edison Electric Institute, which represents investor-owned utilities, and the American Legislative Exchange Council have dubbed the coming rules “EPA’s Regulatory Train Wreck.” The regulations, they say, will cost utilities up to $129 billion and force them to retire one-fifth of coal capacity. Given that coal provides 45 percent of the country’s power, that means...

Cold nuclear fusion by E.N. Tsyganov (UA9 collaboration) University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, Texas, USA Abstract Recent accelerator experiments on fusion of various elements have clearly demonstrated that the effective cross-sections of these reactions depend on what material the target particle is placed in. In these experiments, there was a significant increase in the probability of interaction when target nuclei are imbedded in a conducting crystal or are a part of it. These experiments open a new perspective on the problem of so-called cold nuclear fusion. Submitted to Physics of Atomic Nuclei/Yadernaya Fizika in Russian Introduction...

Steam Quality in the Rossi/Focardi eCAT Alan Fletcher Version 4.10, Aug 18, 2011 1. Abstract The issue of Steam Quality greatly impacts the calculations on the actual excess energy. This issue is extensively analyzed by Steven B. Krivit in New Energy Times Issue 37In particular, Appendix 9: NASA Electrical-Power-Only Steam Analysis reviews the performance of the eCat in relation to an Temperature-Entropy diagram, and states that the Steam quality could be any value between 0 and 1, so that the total output power could be anywhere between 770 W (NO excess energy), to slightly above Rossi's claimed value of...

The New Breed of Energy Catalyzers: Ready for Commercialization? On August 16, 2011, in Blog, by David Niebauer by David Niebauer There has been quite a bit of activity lately in the field that used to be referred to as “cold fusion” and is now generally called “low energy nuclear reactions (LENR).” Many experiments over the last 22 years following the pioneering efforts of Pons and Fleischmann in 1989 have generated excess heat – but its still not clear that what is being observed is a nuclear reaction. It is becoming clear, however, that scientists and engineers are closing...

It's been seven months since Italian physicists Andrea Rossi and Sergio Focardi publicly demonstrated a device that they claimed could generate large amounts of excess heat through some kind of low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR). (Previous descriptions of the process as “cold fusion” are incorrect; although the process is not completely understood, it is likely a weak interaction involving neutrons, without fusion.) The physicists call this device the Energy Catalyzer, or E-Cat. Due to the major potential impact such a device could have for energy production, the scientists have received visits and inquiries from all over the world, but so far...

Krivit Helps Rossi admin on August 5, 2011 — 30 Comments Reading Steven Krivit’s third report on Sunday invoked an immediate response that seemed to confirm my expectations of bias. The introduction flew the report’s colours and I almost denied myself the pleasure of reading the three dozen appendices because of it. Little phrases like…”Andrea Rossi, who appears to live in Florida…” jump out at you as an early sign of the direction its writer wants to point you in. Turning to the technical details of the report, it appears that Krivit was so desperate for meat that he...
