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 nuclear reactions” (LENR), such effects are now published in peer-reviewed journals and are gaining attention and mainstream respectability. The instrumentation expertise of NASA GRC is applied to improve the diagnostics for investigating the anomalous heat in LENR.

I find it interesting and rather puzzling that the summary states that LENR is the new name for cold fusion (thereby implying that the two terms describe the same process) when many other people and organizations argue that these are quite different phenomena. I’d love to read a simple explanation of the difference between LENR and cold fusion that doesn’t use explanations that themselves require further, and equally complex, explanations.

I do hope no one here is in the habit of accepting NASA commentary without some very critical analysis first.

That is hilarious, coming from a Rossi acolyte.



Critical analysis first...BWAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!
