Clean Planet Inc. and Tohoku University to launch “Clean Energy Research Lab” to develop a clean, safe and abundant form of energy for our global community.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TOKYO – March 30, 2015 Clean Planet Inc. and The Research Center for Electron Photon Science of Tohoku University agreed to establish the collaborative research division – Condensed Matter Nuclear Reaction Division at Tohoku University. In this division, fundamental research on condensed matter nuclear reaction, R&D on energy generation and nuclear waste decontamination will be performed.
The members of the new division consist of researchers of Tohoku University, Clean Planet Inc. and HEAD (Hydrogen Engineering Application & Development Clean Planet Inc. and Tohoku University are launching “Clean Energy Research Lab” at Tohoku University on April 1st, 2015.
The mission of the “Clean Energy Research Lab” is to develop a clean, safe and abundant form of energy for our global community. This new research division will be devoted to developing practical applications for clean energy using LENR, Low Energy Nuclear Reaction, (a.k.a. Cold Fusion). This is the first official research division created for condensed matter nuclear science and its application in Japan. We are determined to bring the application models from this division to the market before the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
Clean Planet Inc. and The Research Center for Electron Photon Science of Tohoku University agreed to establish the collaborative research division – Condensed Matter Nuclear Reaction Division at Tohoku University. In this division, fundamental research on condensed matter nuclear reaction, R&D on energy generation and nuclear waste decontamination will be performed.
The members of the new division consist of researchers of Tohoku University, Clean Planet Inc. and HEAD (Hydrogen Engineering Application & Development Company). Yasuhiro Iwamura and Takehiko Itoh left the research center of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries at the end of March 2015 to complete the formation of this illustrious team. This new division is made up of the following members:
• Yasuhiro Iwamura, Jirohta Kasagi and Hidetoshi Kikunaga (Condensed Matter Nuclear Reaction Division, Research Center for Electron Photon Science, Tohoku University, Japan) • Tadahiko Mizuno (HEAD, Japan) • Hideki Yoshino, Takehiko Itoh and Masanao Hattori (Clean Planet Inc., Japan)
Additionally, the government of Japan will provide support in the form of funding for the nuclear waste decontamination research project at the Electron Photon Science of Tohoku University. The project named “Reduction and Resource Recycle of High Level Radioactive Wastes with Nuclear Transformation”, will be funded and supported by the ImPACT Program, which is a Japanese national research program.
We are determined to bring the application models to the market before the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. Our collective dreams are to provide the world with this clean source of energy.

What happened to the two Italian (?) guys who said they found cold fusion already?
Lockheed Martin Claims Fusion Breakthrough That Could Change World Forever.
They’re setting a date certain for developing a technology that has never been proven and may be impossible?
Good luck with that.
What happened to the two Italian (?) guys who said they found cold fusion already?
Froze to death
One died (Sergio Focardi), the other, Andrea Rossi, is conducting a year-long test of the plant in the factory of a customer (unnamed).

I grant you that no one has made a commercial success of “cold fusion” — yet.
But there’s plenty of credible evidence for the reality of the underlying effect. Either you haven’t been paying attention to related threads over the past years — which have reported thousands of successful replications of Fleischmann–Pons type experiments, and the long-term success of E-Cat, including its successful independent testing last fall — or you have some reason to believe that the results are false?
Which is it?
Uhm, no. They haven’t replicated it in the P&F memorial project yet.
WW probably knows more about this since Kevmo is gone for some reason.
Wish someone else would start the cold fusion ping list again.
P&F Memorial project has not replicated it yet but Russian scientist Parkhamov has. He is more forthcoming with how he did it and is currently helping PFMP.
Thanks — Here’s a link to an English translation of his most recent report in which he tested an device based on the Rossi E-Cat:

Based on what I saw, it can’t be ascertained whether they used A/C or D/C to power the heater. Using DC means watts is simply amps times volts, no trig or power factor needed. The diagram shows an inline ammeter and a voltmeter. There are a lot of people including me that think Rossi using A/C and two phases of three phase at that means he’s either deliberately screwing with the power factor and getting an erroneous reading or he doesn’t understand A/C calculations, either way, his calculations are off.
Airbus submitted a LENR device for European patent protection, that could be interesting along with Lockheeds.
Parkhomov says he is using 50 Hz AC to power his heater.
Kevmo got banned by getting at cross purposes with Jim Robinson over some topic totally unrelated to CF. And I just got tired of jousting with the intellectually dishonest skeptopath sorts.
Rossi sold his CF technology to a completely legitimate American firm, who are now funding commercial development, with a proto plant operating a a customers site.
There are MANY researchers besides Rossi who are revealing positive results.
I don’t believe there is a power factor correction needed for straight resistance as found in a heating element.
After a while you get a feel for spotting them.
I finally have a name for this time period in history.
The fudge era.
In this case and others like it we’re and will be ruled by fudged data and numbers. We’re also ruled now by fudge packers.
I think you underestimate what has already been demonstrated, but only time will tell. The transistor principle was patented in 1925, but the first useful transistor wasn’t produced until 1947. Now you can buy a billion of them for less than a buck. The world has only begun to apply the same kind of engineering ingenuity to LENR.
We’ll see.
If it is a coil of wire, I would call that an inductor. Which means the ELI part of ELI the ICE man.
