FACT 1 EVIDENCE: LENR IS A REAL ENERGY CREATING MECHANISM (?)
Long and rapidly growing list of credible people and organizations worldwide affirming LENR is real, with strong affirmation recently from NASA, US Navy, US Department of Defense, National Instruments, European Directorate-General as well as leading scientists and professors at respected Universities worldwide. Some 1700 peer reviewed LENR articles & hundreds of reported replications of LENR worldwide since the discovery in 1989. Ongoing and recently completed LENR public demos at MIT, NIWeek (Austin, Tx), ICCF-17 (Korea) and multiple demos in Italy.

US NAVY/SPAWAR HAS BEEN ONE OF THE LEADERS IN LENR RESEARCH. SPAWAR HAS VALIDATED LENR IN PUBLIC STATEMENTS AND DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS
• On April 17, 2013 the US Navy filed for an LENR patent. LINK
• US Navy’s SPAWAR division has published some 30 peer reviewed papers on LENR. LINK
• SPAWAR acknowledged researching LENR for the past 20 yr and confirmed LENR is real:
– A recently declassified November 2009 SPAWAR/NAVY report, “Thermal and nuclear aspects of the Pd/D20 system: A decade of research at Navy Laboratories” LINK
• “…We do know the existence of Cold Fusion phenomenon through repeated observations by scientists throughout the world... It is time for government funding organizations to invest in this research.”, Dr. Frank E. Gordon, Head Navigation/Applied Sciences SPAWAR, San Diego.
• S. Szpak, P. A. Mosier–Boss and Dr. M. Ashraf Imam of SPAWAR contributed/edited
– A SPAWAR presentation at University of Missouri in May 2009 called, “Twenty Year History of LENR – Hiding in Plain Sight” LINK
• One of Rossi’s listed advisors/BOD is Professor Michael Melich, who is currently a faculty member of the US Navy Post Graduate School.
• Paul Swanson of the U.S. Navy’s SPAWAR attended Rossi’s demo in fall 2011; Note that Paul was acting on his own accord and was not representing the US NAVY directly.

EUROPEAN COMMISSION DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR RESEARCH & INNOVATION PROVIDED STRONG CONFIRMATION OF LENR IN JULY 2012
• In a July 2012 report “Low energy reactions in condensed matter” LINK
– “ENEA, SRI and NRL have been involved within review programs in the US and in Italy. The main task was to demonstrate… the existence of the excess heat production. The target was achieved and the existence of the effect is no longer in doubt.“
• Recommendations to the Commission
– “Include LENR in FP7 calls as research on materials as it has unlimited and sustainable future energy technology potential.”
– “Support the study… to achieve the control of the technology.”
– “Focus on the fundamental research because of the synergy with other disciplines.”
Slide10
OTHER COMPELLING SUPPORT FOR LENR
• “No doubt anomalous excess heat is produced in these experiments"
– DARPA, 2009 reported on 60 Minutes, “Cold Fusion is Hot Again”
– “An independent research thesis at the University of Texas at Austin found that from 1989 to 2010 more than 180 experiments around the world reported anomalous high production of excess heat in Pd/D or Ni/H.”
– National Instruments, July 2012
– “Very careful work at two national laboratories, namely the Naval Research Laboratory in the United States, and at ENEA, the National Energy Laboratory of Italy, and at many other laboratories around the world, clearly indicate that these extreme ‘excess’ heat releases are in fact real, despite earlier claims to the contrary”
– Robert Duncan, Vice-Chancellor for Research, University of Missouri, 2012
• “I believe in analysis of new sources of energy. I believe in laboratories, looking at ways to conduct electricity with cold fusion” VIDEO
– Mitt Romney, December 2011, Washington Examiner.

PROFESSOR CELANI’S PORTABLE LENR DEMO - AUGUST 2012: 12-22W OUTPUT POWER GAIN CONTINUOUSLY FOR 4 DAYS. PERFORMED ON TWO CONTINENTS BACK TO BACK; MEASUREMENTS PERFORMED BY NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS
• In August 2012, Prof. Celani, along with National Instruments Engineers, successfully demoed an NI+H LENR reactor at ICCF. The demo was placed in the middle of S. Korea High Tech. Center and was open to public view. It was run from Tues morn 8/14 and was still running when I left late Fri 8/17 producing a steady 15-20W of excess power.
• All monitoring /measurements were performed by a National Instruments onsite engineer, who supplied all measuring equipment. The demo was also run successfully a week earlier at NIWeek in Austin, Texas in front of 2000 NI engineers with measurements performed by 3 NI provided engineers.
• The Celani reactor was recently verified by STMicroelectronics (LINK) and is considered to be one of the best, simplest, and most conclusive demos of LENR to date.
• The non-profit group Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project is working with Prof Celani to openly demonstrate and distribute the demos worldwide, please see www.quantumheat.org

THERE ARE OVER A DOZEN COMPANIES THAT HAVE BEEN FORMED RECENTLY TO COMMERCIALIZE HIGHER POWER LENR; THERE ARE CREDIBLE PEOPLE ASSOCIATED WITH MOST/ALL OF THESE FIRMS
• Leonardo Corp – Andrea Rossi, Miami, FL/Bologna, Italy. Leonardo Corp appears to be the leader in the nascent market of higher power LENR. The company has made many revolutionary claims, however, most of these claims have not yet been fully validated by 3rd parties. 1MW industrial “E-CAT” claimed available now for industrial purchase with COP of 6, 10KW home “E-CAT”, available projected 2013. Claims temps stable to 1200C with the new Hot E-Cat, which he claims produced 3268kWh over 218hrs with COP > 10 and an energy density >163 MWh/kg, which has been validated by at least one independent tester LINK. Rossi claims to have 63 employees and that he worked with Siemens and previously National Instruments on the control system. Rossi claims he delivered his first low temp 1MW E-CAT to a military entity in Feb 2012 and has sent a 10kW home E-CAT to UL labs for approval. In September 2012, Rossi received a Safety Inspection Certificate for his 1MW E-CAT from SGS, a prominent European testing agency. LINK On May 20, 2013 an independent 3rd party testing was published validating Rossi’s claims LINK. www.ecat.com

The Cold Fusion/LENR Ping List
http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/coldfusion/index?tab=articles
;
Cool. We’re all waiting for a commercial LENR box to crank up and start generating power.
Of course the environ(Lack of)mental(capacity) movement will not like any such energy producing process that actually makes people’s lives better.
I can’t wait to read how they say it is unsafe because;
1. It’s nuclear it has to be dangerous
2. It comes from the corporate establishment
3. It’s Bush’s fault
4. Women and children harmed the most
“Cool. We’re all waiting for a commercial LENR box to crank up and start generating power.”
We’re all waiting for any LENR box to crank up and start generating power.
“I can’t wait to read how they say it is unsafe because;”
It’s already killed one.
or the biggest drawback, You must have health insurance to own one!
It is not real until I can build and operate one in my garage.
Yup, me too.
Those who think LENR is overstated should:
A) read this presentation with an open mind, and
B) remember Amara’s Law: “We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run.”
Seriously.....that looks like a pretty complete list of the commercial efforts under way that I knew about. Of course, for each one of those, there are probably two or three others running under total blackout.
I like how Jed Rothwell looks at the technological imperative. Basically, if the enviroweenies slow down Cold Fusion in the USA, other countries will be happy to fill the void and walk right past us.
-———www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l@eskimo.com/msg86809.html——————
I recall a story about Henry Ford and Charles Kettering. Kettering invented
the automobile self-starter, which replaced the hand-crank. Ford said to
him, “I am not going to equip my cars with these. I’ll stick with the hand
crank.” Kettering replied: “You will equip your cars with self-starters. It
isn’t your choice.” He meant it was a technological imperative. No law was
needed to enforce this. No one “decided” that all cars would have
self-starters. Once the technology was invented, nothing could stop it from
replacing the hand-crank. Henry Ford was the most powerful man in the
automotive industry, but he could no more stop the self-starter than a
new-hire assembly line worker could have. Anyone who wanted to stay in the
automobile industry had to use it.
The same is true of every other major inventions. No person and no
institution could have “stopped” or “slowed down” personal computers after
1980, or the Internet after 1990, or — if Rossi or someone else ever
introduces it — a practical form of cold fusion sometime in the future. It
will not be something you can “opt out of.” You will have no choice,
because no other source of energy will be available. The oil companies and
wind-turbine makers will go bankrupt.
or the biggest drawback, You must have health insurance to own one!
Hi Kevmo,
I’m on the ping list, and I try to read the articles when I have the time.
You seem to be keeping up with this pretty well, and the ping list is much appreciated. If you have the time, I wonder if you could give a quick summary of where the technology is right now, and what the next steps will likely be towards it becoming more widespread.
You can buy a license to build a LENR device. You can buy distribution rights for LENR devices. You can buy shares in companies claiming they can or are building LENR devices. One thing you can't do is buy a working LENR device that produces usable energy.
Thanks
You mean with ALL these demonstrations and “highly successful” tests under the watchful eyes of scientists no one has been able to use those plans to build a simple working model?
But the patents, the secret factories, the shipping containers shipped......Check the spare parts bin, there might be some lenr in there somewhere.
Define "simple working model".
There have been several "simple working models" of small-scale devices. One was demonstrated at MIT as part of a short course, was tested by the attendees at the short course, was shown in tests by the attendees to have a COP of 14, was allowed to run for months after the short course, during which time it was open to the public, and was totally ignored.
NO MIT physicist deigned to look at it during that time.
