LENR is starting to become mainstream.
----------------------------------------LENR Presentation at CERN March 22nd 2012 slides: http://indico.cern.ch/materialDisplay.py?materialId=slides&confId=177379 In Srivastava’s (one of CERN LENR-presenters) LENTransmutation presentation he questions the relative SILENCE of the science community to the 60 years and $$200B spent on hot fusion. With ZERO results. That’s ZERO, as in not one Watt of fusion energy produced. Slide number 3 details his attitude. "While strident criticism of low temperature fusion is legion among most physicists, the silence generated by the same physicists regarding hot fusion is positively deafening.” Dr. Srivastava Check video of this LENR Presentation at CERN here: http://cdsweb.cern.ch/search?ln=en&cc=Vid...&action_search=Search Slowly, things are beginning to unravel for LENR vs Mainstream Scientific Community. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 3 times, last edit by damir1978 at Mar 23, 2012 7:42:31 PM] |

Check this very interesting interview with Brillouin Energy scientists about their technology and when the first devices based on Cold Fusion will start to be available.
----------------------------------------Apparently, they get a lot of visits from various US Departments: http://coldfusionnow.org/?p=15344 Complete audio (MP3) interview here: http://coldfusionnow.org/wp-content/uploads/2...-03-27-Robert-E-Godes.mp3 Extracts: “And we’re in the process of talking to them,” continued George, “because the exchange of ideas is always helpful. The US has consistently been a leader in technology and it seems that between the Naval Research Lab and NASA, the US government has taken a serious interest in this. We’ve had visits from the Naval Research Lab folks from Washington, DC. They’ve come out to the lab to look at our system. They’re planning to come back in the next several months with additional test and analysis equipment.” “And probably due to your efforts, there’s been alot of commercial interest. We’ve had alot of major corporations coming to meet with us in the last couple of months. Creating an awareness that there is a technology here that makes sense and there’s an alternative to fossil fuels, is probably the biggest challenge.” “That’s why we’ve been quiet because we wanted to get our system operational, we wanted to be able to show people a system that’s running, and we wanted to make sure our technology is sound. So we’re moving in that direction, we’re excited about it, and this next round will bring us, we believe, to the goalpost.” ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by damir1978 at Mar 29, 2012 1:01:36 AM] |

LENT (Low Energy Nuclear Transmutations) of materials.
----------------------------------------Goal: transmutation of cheap metals into expensive ones, like Rare Earth Metals. Transmutations – the alchemists are back. From: http://worldpress.stepchange-innovations.com/...emists-are-back/#more-228 "500 years ago, alchemists tried to make gold from other elements – a process called transmutation – by the use of a magic stone called philosopher stone. Modern science told us this cannot be possible. At the university we have learned that no nuclear reactions should be possible under normal (mild) reaction conditions. Only under very high temperatures, such as in plasma, elements would fuse and convert to other elements. Now, more and more evidence has been accumulated that transmutation, the conversion of elements into other elements, might be possible even under mild conditions. Edmund Storms, a cold fusion scientist, quotes in his 2007 book “Science of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction: A Comprehensive Compilation of Evidence and Explanations about Cold Fusion” many references that support transmutations, even cases of transmutations in biological cells. Just recently, last week interesting transmutation results by Mitsubishi have been presented at CERN. Andrea Rossi, inventor of the e-cat energy device, claims that he fuses nickel with hydrogen to make copper. There are far too many reports that it can be simply based on errors or bad science. Looking at all of these reports, we can only raise our eyebrows. It is far away for what we have ever been told by mainstream science. Can it be possible ? It seems, looking at all the scientific papers that evidence is robust for transmutations. Transmutations of elements would also be a clear evidence that nuclear reactions indeed take place under mild conditions as claimed by the cold fusion people. Interestingly, abnormal isotope ratios are obtained, different from reactions at hot fusion conditions, and hardly any radiation is observed. This means there must be a previously unknown reaction path to explain these results." ---------------------------------------- [Edit 3 times, last edit by damir1978 at Mar 30, 2012 2:45:12 PM] |

MIT NANOR Cold Fusion (more than 3 months continuous working device) is open for public visits.
----------------------------------------At the recent “Atom Unexplored” conference in Torino Italy, Dr. Peter Hagelstein of MIT gave a presentation about some of his work in the field of low energy nuclear reaction research, concentrating on the work of his colleague Dr. Mitchell Swartz. Swartz has invented a palladium-based device he names a NANOR. When an electric current is passed through the palladium, excess energy in the form of heat is produced which, according to Hagelstein, is over 14 times the input energy. In this talk, Hagelstein says that this NANOR has been running at MIT since January, and it has continued to produce excess heat far beyond anything that could be accounted for by a chemical reaction. Hagelstein says that the public is invited to take a look at the device in action. http://www.e-catworld.com/2012/05/hagelstein-...ion-demonstration-at-mit/ Anybody close enough to make that visit and report here? ---------------------------------------- [Edit 2 times, last edit by damir1978 at May 9, 2012 7:25:07 PM] |

Updates on Cold fusion devices:
----------------------------------------ANDREEA ROSSI says that In October 2012 he will make a convention of Licensees and their list will be made public. That means that in October we will have definitive confirmation from Third Parties of what they know about E-CAT. http://www.e-catworld.com/2012/05/waiting-for-october-again/ There is already a leak on one Australian company that want to spearhead E-CAT Device in their country. Check this PDF: www.fusor.net/board/getfile.php?bn=fusor_other&att_id=9525 ------- DEFKALION feels pretty confident on being first LENR player on the international market: "Defkalion has conducted third party tests on its core technology by internationally recognized and reputable private and public organizations from Europe and America. Today, there is solid, unambiguous evidence confirming our technology. We are at the dawn of a new era of clean, inexpensive, limitless renewable energy. Defkalion will become the first global player in LENR using its proprietary technology to commercialize its new products and diversify into new Research & Development efforts for new applications. It plans to have a fully operational prototype ready by July 2012." That is in 2 months. https://plus.google.com/u/0/10936731642971967...9678205/posts/JQf54WUY2Cb ------- BRILLOUIN ENERGY says they will have the BEST LENR Machine capable of generating dry steam in the range of 400C-500C, hence they can use it to generate ELECTRICITY. http://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/New-LENR-Machine-is-the-Best-Yet.html They are currently testing the Brillouin "Hot Tube" Boiler at Stanford Research International (SRI). ------- And finally, good news for the amateur cold fusion researchers: A new and very interesting report is coming again out of Italy. The Repubblica Roma web site is reporting that under the direction of professor and engineer Ugo Abundo, a project was carried out by teachers and students at the Leopoldo Pirelli industrial high school in Rome in which students have built cold fusion cells which according to one of the instructors involved have achieved excess heat levels of 400 per cent. They are calling their cold fusion devices: ATHANOR Cells. And ... they patented open source and made available on the Internet the construction of the ATHANOR Cell. http://www.e-catworld.com/2012/04/cold-fusion-in-italian-high-school/ Check here English Translation of Build Instructions for Pirelli Athanor Cell: http://www.e-catworld.com/2012/04/english-tra...for-pirelli-athanor-cell/ --- So, again, we can see great development for Cold fusion in Anno Domini 2012. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 5 times, last edit by damir1978 at May 10, 2012 1:28:29 PM] |

Seems the Italian literature on Mr. Rossi is not pointing at a positive assessment. http://22passi.blogspot.it/2012/05/risposta-d...+e+dintorni...+il+blog%29
Verbatim article quoted from the Italian Secretary of State, May 13, 2012 (last Sunday). (Google gives a garbled translation is you wish to delve...one paragraph) In fact, the engineering phase of the process is far enough in time, since it lacks a comprehensive definition of the physical phenomenon that forms the basis of the process where the reproducibility is essential. At the present state of research on low energy nuclear reactions, reproducibility, although improved over the last years of the last century, is still unsatisfactory. In addition, research on the phenomena in question is still limited to laboratory level since the day the most successful experiments conducted to date have detected only developments of heat for power equal to a fraction of a watt. It's a conspiracy to keep this from coming to market (of course), and again another article where the line is included that readers make up their own mind and are free to comment. Italy is very interested as the fossil fuel generated energy has been skyrocketing hi, and regularly leading to strikes and road blockages, damaging the economy substantially. On the other hand, since we can't pack mirage kits needing lead shielding, so is said, in a car, the public transport sector has seen explosive growth. Rome has seen an increase of 30% in annual subscription fares in the past year. Highways and main roads are a last century dream to drive on these days... almost everyone is driving controlled to reduce fuel consumption and achieving that here, well... unheard off until the last 12 months. --//-- P.S. Rolling off the production line in October? The last interview suggests he's "seeing" things: "R: At this point, yes. If this new reactor will confirm what we are seeing, the Sterling engine returns in the race horse. Because I can see very well. I can see very well a cylinder that would be put directly in contact with the surface, with the top in contact with the surface of the reactor so that the cylinder is moved by the temperature, and we are working on this. We will work on this design. Yes, Sterling engine that operates, until now had too low efficiency with the temperatures for we had reached so far. Becomes a player with the new higher temperatures if the data is confirmed." http://www.e-catworld.com/2012/05/e-cat-world...andrea-rossi-may-12-2012/ Reactors in our back-gardens... not probable anytime soon. R: There has been a history case, you know basically so the certification for a unit in a domestic situation is much more difficult because there is not a certainty of proper management of the ECAT. So that the ECAT must be supplied with all with everything that makes it absolutely safe even if improperly managed. It is clear that the liabilities that the certificator pays are very high in the case of domestic ECAT and also our liabilities are very high. And it is unthinkable that we can sell a household unit without certification. |

Until the product is on the market or until big players confirm Cold Fusion devices there will always be this incertitude in everybody minds (mine included) about one or other players but 2012 sees many new and important "bodies" going full blast into this field:
----------------------------------------It is not about Rossi only, it is about: - Prof. George Miley going at TechConnect World 2012 http://lenr-coldfusion.com/2012/05/13/george-miley-at-techconnect-world-2012/ Open visits to see Mitchell Schwartz's NANOR - MIT and talk to Prof. Hegelstein about it after he return from the “Atom Unexplored” conference in Italy. http://www.e-catworld.com/2012/05/visit-to-mit/ It is about Robert W. George II, Brillouin testing it's "Hot tube" http://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/New-LENR-Machine-is-the-Best-Yet.html Also if Rossi is a fake than Defkalion is a fake and it is harder and harder in this Web-based world to make scams so elaborate that will span from USA to Italy to Greece, involving many, many people and succeeding in staying cohesive in your lies.... It is about Francesco Celani going to CERN: http://www.e-catworld.com/2012/03/discussion-...ava-presentation-at-cern/ It is about Ugo Abundo and his class plus his open source approach giving for free the manual on how to build the apparatus: http://www.e-catworld.com/2012/04/english-tra...for-pirelli-athanor-cell/ It is about LENR being patented by Joseph Zawodny NASA. It is about Francesco Piantelli Nickenergy company that is going to release news soon. ARE THEY ALL FAKE OR WORKING FOR "a fraction of a watt"? It is about US senators and politicians that are starting to want to get associated with this research: http://www.e-catworld.com/2012/04/mits-hagels...-mass-state-senator-tarr/ It is about India and China and Japan (Mitsubishi) doing very hard research on LENR for obvious reasons. It is about etc.. etc.. more info everyday that is coming from this field. Nobody is doing this kind of effort for "a fraction of a watt", so let's be serious about it and not kidding ourselves anymore. It is about scalable energy from Hundreds of Watts to MegaWatt and GigaWatt level with proper investment. You can see that LENR/Cold Fusion is way bigger than just Rossi and his ability to look legit or not. He is however, the one that exposed the hidden research made by so many mainstream scientific bodies prior to 2011 and that were forced out, in the open, by fear of competition from him. That in itself says something about the value of this man in this field at least, if not more. There is one more aspect of this field that is overlooked somehow. What will you prefer? To spend Hundreds of Billions of Dollars for the next Oil Wars (plus oil exploration, development and transportation, also fracking for oil and gas adds huge cleaning cost because of poisoning water) or to put some tens of billions of dollars in LENR in order to speed up this promising research by factor 1000? We can agree at least on this: LENR research is the best risk vs. gain game. It will take peanuts investment and the return can be history changing. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 18 times, last edit by damir1978 at Jul 10, 2012 3:33:33 AM] |
