Dr. Edmund Storms: Cold Fusion, Nuclear Active Environments, and New Energy August 21, 2013
Interview with Edmund Storms: a Nuclear Scientist with over two decades of experimental research in Cold Fusion. He is retired from Los Alamos National Laboratory, and is the founder of Kiva Labs. He is the author of The Science of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction, a comprehensive survey of the field published in 2007. He has also developed the theory of the Nuclear Active Environment as an explanatory mechanism for Low Energy Nuclear Reactions. More Information on Dr. Storms and LENR can be found at http://coldfusionnow.org/

Very interesting interview — Dr. Storms has a lot of knowledge and experience in the field and is a strong and credible proponent of LENR/CF
I want to listen to the whole thing, but just jumping around, his discussion about the Nuclear Active Environment is very intriguing. Maybe a number of researchers from Pons and Fleishman forward have been nibbling around the edges in various ways, but no one has yet found the real mechanism.
“No one has yet got it right” Yes, that is what I think.
no one has yet found the real mechanism.
***I think someone has, but the resources are so limited that the community cannot drill down on the theoretical & experimental implications of each speculation. When the mechanism is verified, we will likely find that someone proposed it 10 years ago on Vortex.
When the math is ‘right’ the work will begin.............
