Physics Professor Comes Out of Closet Admits LENR is For Real
A physicist with Toronto’s York University has come out of the closet and admitted that “cold fusion energy is real.”

“The tests of E-cat HT reactors of Andrea Rossi provided in Uppsala University, Sweden (2012-2013) and the live test of Defkalion (DGT) Hyperion reactor broadcast on July 22-23, 2013 are reliable demonstrations that cold fusion energy is real,” Dr. Stoyan Sarg wrote in an article for a website called Foreign Policy Journal. Please note that Foreign Policy Journal has nothing to do with the respected journal Foreign Policy.
Sarg is not an amateur instead he’s an engineer and a physicist. In the past Sarg worked with the European Space Agency, Intercosmos a Warsaw Pact space research organization associated with the former Soviet Union and the Canadian Space Agency. Sarg has also been a visiting scientist at Cornell University and he worked with the first SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) project.
Sarg also outlines what might be a test for verification of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) in his article. He thinks that a test to check for radioactive isotopes before and after such a reaction could verify it. Sarg believes the isotopes decay and produces beta particles, he thinks testing for beta particles could verify LENR claims.
Interestingly enough Sarg criticized Andrea Rossi for not allowing such tests although he thinks Rossi and his ecat are credible. Francessco Celani has stated that Rossi has prevented him from making such tests.
Sarg thinks that Defkalion’s device is more credible because the company can control nuclear reactions with a high voltage discharge. Sarg doesn’t comment on other LENR efforts such as the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project, Brillouin, Francesco Piantelli’s efforts and Jet Energy’s NANOR.
Still he makes an important point in conclusion that’s well worth repeating here. “Our expectations for cheaper and safer nuclear energy are realistic.” Like many observers Sarg thinks that more research into LENR is needed.
Well, it looks like you’re trying to come up to speed.
Certainly not.
I actually don’t have much of an opinion one way or the other, or even knowledge of the subject, myself. I was just throwing out the basic arguments against it which I found on the internet. Two of the items I posted I think was supportive of it.
What I do know, though, is that throughout the history of science, in every area of it, there is a long list of skeptics who have been proven wrong.
Yes, that is correct. So I’m focusing on pushing my retirement accounts into a position where Big Oil is shorted, Stirling cycle engines are in, desalination is in, and other ways to put my money where my mouth is. I’m not quite sure how to do it.
In addition, Rossi did not want to subject the ECat to demos nor attention. He simply wanted to start selling them when the time was right. But his partner Focardi had cancer, and Focardi wanted recognition for all that he had done. So, Rossi relented and gave the crappiest set of demos one could imagine. Here we are 2 years later, Focardi dead from cancer, and Rossi going back to being rather cryptic and acting as eccentric as he wants.
But there’s been some significant blinking dots on the dashboard with Rossi. One, he submitted the ECat to black-box testing and it was found to have 20,000 times more energy density than gasoline. Two, after having sold his house to fund his efforts, he now has been buying real estate in Florida (and threatening to sue Wikipedia for libel). This is after claiming that he’s no longer CEO but rather CFO of his enterprise, so it would appear he’s got some money coming in already, at least he’s acting in that fashion. Three, he announced that one of his factories was able to generate an excess heat device without him ever being involved with the process, only by way of his instructions. The last time LENR was this close to a breakout was with Patterson, who died and never let his secret out so it died with him.
Rossi will go into history as either a great inventor, or a great scam artist. Either way, it is worth keeping track of.
***Exactly what I’ve been saying. I haven’t posted a “Rossi Says” article in over 2 years, but one wouldn’t have known it based upon how many times the skeptopaths bring up Rossi in order to discredit any efforts in LENR.
If you don’t want to spend money on a good introductory book “Excess Heat” by Beaudette, then there are a lot of good intro sources to download for free (including excerpts from Beaudette’s book) at

And, of course, you could read up on where things are just by cruising the “cold fusion” keyword on FR

The troll rebuttal is the same thing as being called a denier in the AGW argument.
Well, if you want to display your ignorance like a peacock and pretend it to be a virtue, you’re welcome to proceed.
Is that a direct Al Gore quote?
Is algore sitting on 14000 replications that we’re all blithely overlooking? No. But you are blithely overlooking the science behind LENR.
