    Of all the interesting tidbits to come out of The Atom Unexplored conference in Turin, Italy in May 4, perhaps the account by Dr. Peter Hagelstein of MIT on how a prominent physicist actively worked to cut cold fusion funding was the most eye-opening. In the question and answer session held after the morning LENR portion of the proceedings, a member of the audience asked a rather poignant question regarding why scientists often fail to develop clear “road maps”  from the laboratory to the “real world.”  In responding to this question, Dr. Hagelstein gave a quite detailed and thoughtful answer...

Mr. Van den Bogaert spent his career at AGFA, the Belgian multinational corporation that has long specialized in photography-related technology. He filed, and had granted, numerous LANR-related patents, which that for the last 20 years have not been available for review to those who did not speak Flemish, a Belgian variation of the Dutch language. The previous article included a link to the PDF file to two of those patents...

    Resource depletion, climate change and rising oil prices have led to large investments in renewable energy and new fossil fuel extraction techniques. However despite the positive headlines on solar, wind, and shale, all of these sectors are beset with problems that add to our uncertain energy future. We appear to be decades away from finding a renewable source that will help us avoid the impending energy crisis. Yet amongst this bleak outlook a relatively unknown Italian inventor could be about to spark an energy revolution? Andrea Rossi appears to have produced the first working cold fusion device, or low energy...

    Rossi has been caught in some whopper lies. Yesterday, the New Energy Times published an extremely damning report regarding Andrea Rossi and his E-Cat: Andrea Rossi, the inventor of the Energy Catalyzer, told an inspector from the Florida Bureau of Radiation Control that he has no factory in the United States and that no nuclear reactions occur in his devices. Rossi's statements contradict nearly everything he has said in the last year about his claims of a factory and his development of a low-energy nuclear reaction device.

    As Andrea Rossi discusses the commercialization of E-Cat Technology one thing seems to becoming clearer by the day: he is focusing much more now on the production of electricity. Two thermal energy producing E-Cats have been designed, the 1 MW plant now on the market, and the 10 kW units that Leonardo Corp is gearing up to mass produce. Rossi seems to be pleased with both these products but it is pretty clear that he is not satisfied enough to stop working towards the goal of the efficient production of electricity from his inventions.

    Belgian LANR Patents Posted on February 27, 2012 by Admin In work done over many years, a Belgian industrial chemist and patent attorney, Joannes Van den Bogaert, had several LANR patents granted in his home country of Belgium. While the devices are different in many ways from those currently being researched in the LENR/LANR arena, they also bear striking similarities to them. Those similarities are: The same metals, nano-particles, lattices, vortexes, some input energy source, hydrogen (deuterium), liquid cooling etc, and the release of energy in the form of heat, by overcoming the Coulomb barrier.

    If Italian inventor Andrea Rossi's cold fusion machine, called the E-Cat, really works, then the world's energy problems are all but solved. Rossi claims that a small amount of input energy drives a fusion reaction between hydrogen and nickel atoms inside his machine, producing an outpouring of surplus heat that can be used to generate electricity. And instead of the nasty radioactive byproducts given off by nuclear fission reactors think Fukushima or Chernobyl the E-Cat spits out just a teaspoon of copper.

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...

Fleischmann), that they had detected measurable, and unexplainable, excess energy after prolonged electrolysis of Heavy Water using Palladium (Pd) rods as cathode. Such a phenomenon, that cannot be ascribed to usual chemistry or physics reactions, was improperly given the odd name cold fusion, remembering similarities with the muon-catalysed fusion predicted (1952) by A. Sacharov and measured (1956) by L. Alvarez (Nobel Laureates): both fusion were realised at room temperatures and...

    Mass media exposure kills SPAWAR cold fusion research Jed Rothwell Sat, 17 Dec 2011 14:46:07 -0800 I am sorry to report that the authorities have finally closed down cold fusion research at SAPWAR. After Frank Gordon left, the project was on life support. Recent reports on Fox News and elsewhere mentioned it, bringing about the inevitable coup de grace. Like most cold fusion projects, this was a shoestring or "bootlegged" operation. It was done by retired researchers such as Szpak, and others working nights and weekends. The equipment was scavenged or bought by private individuals. But, as we all...

    I doubt it.  Not this year anyway.  However, after a seemingly disappointing period of no significant news regarding the cold fusion saga, mid-December has found this story once again springing to life. Last week Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney mentioned cold fusion in an interview with the conservative publication the Washington Examiner link.  As Governor Romney stumbled and bumbled and actually showed a poor grasp of the matter, it was likely that he was briefed about the matter by one of his “handlers” and encouraged to mention it in the interview.  It is also likely that his associates have...

Time passing as more hard credence evolves into research and the results, will show us which of the various physics are the activities of nature in LENR. The progress cannot come fast enough .

  • Presidential Candidate Hopes for Cold Fusion [Romney *hearts* Rossi??]

    Presidential Candidate Hopes For Cold Fusion December 9, 2011 A little over two weeks ago, we were talking about Andrea Rossis invitation from Senator Bruce Tarr to visit Boston to explore the possibility of eCat manufacturing in Massachusetts. Reading the tealeaves, it seems that Tarr maintained a healthy touch of scepticism but even so, the invitation was remarkable and I wondered then if we were seeing the tip of a larger movement among the power-brokers towards the possibility that cold fusion was real. Many wondered if Rossi was simply looking for investors, hoping to do a deal under the table...
  • The Physics of why the e-Cat's Cold Fusion Claims Collapse

    "Starts with A Bang!" Blog ^ | 12/5/2011 | Dr. Ethan Siegel, Dr. Peter Thieberger
    This claim is made for two reasons: There is anomalous heat/energy being generated by the device, as evidenced by water that has been heated and/or boiled by the e-Cat. This heat is measured by outside observers and cannot be accounted for, completely, by the external power input. A sample of the claimed products of the reaction was made available, which contained some nickel powder, but about 10% of the sample was copper, claimed to be completely generated from an initial sample that was 100% nickel. Right here, this very site claimed that these results were probably faked, and now we're...

    LENR Presentation by Joseph Zawodny, NASA Langley Research Center by admin Published on 12-05-2011 12:35 AM On September of 2011, NASA Glen Research Center held a LENR Workshop at GRC on LENR. The notes are not currently available on NASA's site, but ecatplanet obtained the presentation notes from Dr. Dennis Bushnell and Dr. Joseph Zawodny via FOIA request. Zawodny's presentation includes 35 pages of slides and includes a historical overview, theory, and implications for aerospace and beyond. The powerpoint slides is available as a download at ZawodnyLENR for GRC.ppt or slightly modified with some NASA acronyms defined here. Theory...

    At the meeting, Bushnell also spoke about Andrea Rossi, the inventor of the Energy Catalyzer. We intend to core down on the Rossi stuff and find out whats real and whats not, Bushnell said. But Rossis business is hard to explain other than with some kind of LENR. The Rossi stuff is probably wholly Edisonian and not totally understood, which is an understatement. But we can probably understand it at some point. Bushnell failed to mention that NASA had already made attempts to perform due diligence on the Rossi device. Some of the people involved in those attempts were in...

    Peak Spoilers December 4, 2011 tags: Energy Bulletin, Peak Oil by Ruby Carat Palms so narrow and closed in have been poured over peoples limbs. But countless worthless things keep crashing in, blunting their cares. During their lifetimes they see such a little part of life and then they are off: short-lived, flying up and away like smoke, totally persuaded by whatever each of them happened to bump into while being driven one way, another way, all over the place. And they claim in vain that they have found the whole. Like this, there is no way...

    It seems that Dr Rossi and Defkalion agree about something. The Greek company is at pains to say that Hyperion is absolutely their technology and nothing to do with the eCat. While some may find this an Alice-in-Wonderland statement, the Italian inventor does not. He accuses them without naming of operating a scam. Andrea Rossi December 1st, 2011 at 12:44 AM WARNING: SOMEBODY IS ON THE ROAD SAYING THEY HAVE SUCCEEDED IN STEALING OUR TECHNOLOGY ( WHOSE PATENT HAS BEEN GRANTED IN ITALY AND IS PENDING IN THE WORLD) AND ARE TRYING TO SELL A MOCK UP SAYING...
