Cold Fusion: Theory or Fact?
If, way back in 1911, I had told you that a newly discovered principle could create a conductor that would carry electricity over any distance with virtually no loss of power you would have said "Fantastic! Amazing! This will change everything!" and you'd have been right ? if it had been practical.
The Peak Oil Crisis: Cold Fusion Update
There have been enough developments in the cold fusion story during the last two weeks to warrant revisiting the subject. For those of you who came in late, cold fusion, also known as Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR), is a phenomenon in which hydrogen, under proper conditions, is combined with palladium or nickel to produce heat. If the reaction can be developed to the point at which it makes ...
Cold fusion breaks the laws of physics…
Cold fusion breaks the laws of physics… …and so is just plain wrong. Theories do come and go, thats how science works. For a theoretical usurper to succeed in overturning an old theory requires strong, reproducible evidence. N-fusion, cold fusion, low energy nuclear reactions, call it what you will, is yet to provide that evidence, [...] Cold fusion breaks the laws of physics… is a post from ...
Cold Fusion: NASA Says Nothing Useful
? On NASA?s Glenn Research Center?s Research page the following summary was published last last year: Tests conducted at NASA Glenn Research Center in 1989 and elsewhere consistently show evidence of anomalous heat during gaseous loading and unloading of deuterium into and out of bulk palladium. At one time called "cold fusion," now called "low-energy ...
The E-Cat: Real or Surreal?
? In my last post I commented (once again) upon Andrea Rossi?s E-Cat cold fusion system and at the end of the posting I asked readers to vote on whether they thought (believed) that the device would perform as claimed (i.e. that it will be shown to produce significantly more energy than is required to ...
Can NASA Warm Cold Fusion?
TomOfAmalfi writes "Andrea Rossi says he can provide domestic energy sources (about 10 kW) based on his E-Cat system (a Low Energy Nuclear Reaction or Cold Fusion energy source) for between 100 and 150 US$/kW and begin shipping this year. Many people are skeptical about Rossi's claims because he has not explained how his 'reactors' work (apparently the reactors contain ingenious security devices ...
Defkalion offers testing of cold fusion reactors
The Greek company Defkalion has invited scientific and business organizations to test the core technology in its forthcoming energy products. The products are based on LENR – Low Energy Nuclear Reactions.
Zero emissions from liquid air
The Dearman Engine Company is developing an engine that uses liquid air as fuel. (Credit: Dearman Engine Company) The Dearman Engine Company is developing an engine that runs on what most people would not think of as fuel, liquid air. Call it a new kind of cold fusion. The pistons get pushed by the pressure of rapidly expanding air in the cylinder. Liquid air is stored at -256 degrees Fahrenheit ...
NASA confirms research in LENR
UPDATED: In a recent video, NASA confirms its research in LENR – akin to cold fusion – and states that it works. At the same time Andrea Rossi and the Greek company Defkalion intensify their activities.
Burning America's future
An energy policy outlined by the head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in which we use all of the nation's coal, gas and oil is beyond dumb. At the turn of the last century, Time magazine published a list of what it considered to be the 100 worst ideas of the 20th century. It included Prohibition, leisure suits, the Titanic, cold fusion. You get the idea.
