First time posting a thread, so forgive me if I messed up but this seems like a true game-changing moment in science/industry/world economies. It is a qualified (US Naval Sea Systems Command) source that has not only duplicated Pons and Fleischmann's LENR/table top fusion experiment, but have an understanding for why it works. It has to do with an impurity that wasn't known at the time (instead of pure Pd). This 'rediscovery' could lead to the end of fossil fuels and a cheap source of energy worldwide. It could be that big of a game-changer.

.....Orrrrr it could be a continuance of the fakery.
Call me with observable and repeatable results. Not before!

We have been waiting since the mid 1980’s, no?
I was in a college Engineering Chemistry at the time when all this came out.
Ooooh, cold fusion, right around the corner!

No primary source to review. This could have been written by my loser nephew (except for the use of more-than-two-syllable words).

But that is what the article is about...repeating it and observing, which they did and have a scientific explanation to go along with it! The point here seems to be that Pons and Fleischmann were unable to reproduce their results. They probably didn’t know about the impurity that allowed their system to work. Now it is known. At least, that is how I read it. But you are correct: If it is real, there will be more repeated experiments.

"oooh, cold fusion, right around the corner! Yeah, the only thing with a worse track record than cold fusion is hot fusion, which has spent 100's of billions of dollars with no practical result, and is still 50 years away.

Snore... Right up there with the electrolytic hydrogen generator connected to your car air cleaner.
OTOH Fleischmann makes a wicked yeast.

This is the first credible thing I have read about LENR. It claims reproducibility consistent with theory. If this is legit, we are about to usher in a new era in human history. Once the engineers get their teeth into these preconditions, things will move faster than anyone can imagine.
New fortunes will be made, crushing old ones. Borders will shift. The middle east will become irrelevant except for it’s export of crazy people. Tech savvy nations will become richer. Others poorer.

Welcome to FR (well, the posting part anyway).
Be prepared to be bashed to death, like KEVMO (a previous Freeper who used to post E-CAT threads).
Any armor or protections spells you have, you should use right now.

http://www.lenr-forum.com/forum/index.php/Attachment/386-IEEE-brief-DeChiaro-9-2015-pdf/ I was getting tired of the hand-waving we had been seeing in the past. But if we have a NAVSEA scientist officially saying he's able to get energy, then that's a big step towards credibility. Especially if gets published in an IEEE journal.
In your PDF, there's also mention of Rossi (page 13) being halfway through a 400-day test at a customer factory of a 1 MW e-cat. If this pans out, then it is starting to sound exciting.
I would just want to see more mention in publications outside the ecat clique.
If anybody's keeping a LENR ping list, please add me.
