NASA’s cold fusion tech could put a nuclear reactor in every home, car, and plane. The cold fusion dream lives on: NASA is developing cheap, clean, low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR) technology that could eventually see cars, planes, and homes powered by small, safe nuclear reactors.
When we think of nuclear power, there are usually just two options: fission and fusion. Fission, which creates huge amounts of heat by splitting larger atoms into smaller atoms, is what currently powers every nuclear reactor on Earth. Fusion is the opposite, creating vast amounts of energy by fusing atoms of hydrogen together, but we’re still many years away from large-scale, commercial fusion reactors. ECAT Technology. ECAT Technology The ECAT technology will revolutionize energy production as we know it.
The main reason for this paradigm shift in energy production is the high Energy Density in the ECAT fuel which implies that the ECAT fuel cost will be much lower than any conventional energy source. Fusion For Energy - Bringing the power of the sun to earth. The way to new energy. European Fusion Development Agreement. Instant Egghead: What's the Difference Between Fission and Fusion? Italian Scientists Claim (Dubious) Cold Fusion Breakthrough. Good science is always rooted in good data, but the most entertaining science is the stuff that transcends the need for data by rooting itself fantastical claims and a rejection of the idea that data is even necessary.
So naturally it's a thrill to learn that two Italian scientists claim to have successfully developed a cold fusion reactor that produces 12,400 watts of heat power per 400 watts of input. Not only that, but they'll be commercially available in just three months. Maybe. Exponential production using LENR, LENT, and 3D Printing. Exponential Growth is an immensely powerful concept.
To help us grasp it better let us use an ancient Indian chess legend as an example. The king was a big chess enthusiast and had the habit of challenging wise visitors to a game of chess. One day a traveling sage was challenged by the king. Polywell Fusion in 6 Steps :-) Cold Fusion - The First Domino. Those individuals who have attempted to suppress cold fusion have done so for many different reasons.
One reason is that the successful commercialization of the technology could be the first domino in a paradigm shift that could change the course of human civilization. by Hank Mills Pure Energy Systems News Cold fusion is not just another every day discovery. It holds the potential to totally revolutionize our civilization. The European Organization for Nuclear Research. LENR Powered Vehicles. ITER - the way to new energy. Cold Fusion NASA LENR part three Spacebound and Earthbound Transportation. It is argued that both LENR and Hydrino Capture are not cold fusion, yet for many reasons the term cold fusion exists in popular vernacular encompassing nuclear reactions that happen in environments less hot than the sun.
For many people the term has sentimental value as well… that’s the logic of it. Often what accompanies discovery and truthfulness in science is confusion, anger, and persecution; as is seen in the history of cold fusion research. Yet good science has gotten us this far; cold fusion research has overcome adversity through strict adherence to scientific method and consistent first-rate scientific review. Cold Fusion, or Cold Shoulder? For some, one of the greatest concerns of the present day involves the hope for a vast overhaul of the way humans use and obtain energy.
While some advocate tapping existing resources (such as drilling for oil), many are focused on the future with emerging trends toward sustainable or “green” energy systems, which include utilizing ocean currents, wind, geothermal energy and sunlight in processes that can generate electricity. The energy innovations of the future, however, are occurring today, according to some. - Free Energy For All Mankind! Homage to the fusioneer: 60 Years of Fusion research in 5 minutes. Cold Fusion - The First Domino. China Grants Patent to Brillouin Energy. Brilliouin Publishes Test Results. Brillouin Energy Corp has published the results of testing on its low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) technology.
Controlled Electron Capture and the Path Toward Commercialization a paper with the names of Brillouin CEO Robert George, Brillouin President and LENR inventor Robert Godes, Frances Tanzella of SRI International and Michael McKubre of SRI International has been posted online. The paper outlines Brillouin’s second generation boiler technology which has been tested at SRI for the past few months. This paper outlines the results of over 150 experiments on Brillouin’s LENR process conducted by Brillouin and SRI. The paper stated that excess energies of over 100% have been generated using Brillouin’s method that employees Palladium and Nickel Hydrides. The paper reveals the components of Brilllouin’s wet cell boiler and shows power measurements. It concludes that Brillouin hopes to break through the 200% threshold soon. Brillouin Energy Corp. Carbon free energy source of the future. Yup, I built a nuclear fusion reactor. Why doesn't Utah media cover the latest cold fusion developments?
Since Andrea Rossi's press conference in Italy in January 2011 demonstrating a several kilowatt heat capacity of his E-Cat, with several other companies also being in process of taking product to market, not one Utah mainstream news outlet, including newspaper or television website has given this any coverage.
Why? By Sterling D. Allan Pure Energy Systems News Hi Tony, Best LENR Investments or at Least Companies to Watch. Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) or cold fusion isn’t a safe enough investment to put your retirement money in yet.
On the other hand it could be a good risky or speculative investment for those with a social conscious and a lot of extra money to spend. There are some companies that could generate a substantial profit in the LENR field in the next few decades. These include giant corporations that are dabbling in LENR and startups trying to capitalize on new inventions. World Of Wallstreet: Possible Global Game-Changer: Cold Fusion Is Not Just For Bozos Anymore. "Cold Fusion" (aka Low Energy Nuclear Reactions, LENR) is not just for bozos anymore. Dennis Bushnell, Chief Scientist, NASA Langley Research Center is not a bozo. I particularly found this quote amusing (emphasis added): "several labs have blown up studying LENR and windows have melted, indicating when the conditions are "right" prodigious amounts of energy can be produced and released.
" The European Commission is not the home of bozos (start with page 23). Here's the money quote (emphasis added): "ENEA, SRI and NRL have been involved within review programs in the US and in Italy. Cold Fusion a year later. Just over a year ago I wrote about something that was incredibly exciting: A commercial cold fusion power generation system. Assuming it worked as claimed, the cold fusion power generation system would herald huge changes in not only the energy industry, but pretty much every aspect of the global economy. In IT, practical cold fusion generators could, in theory, power entire data centers for next to no cost and provide power in locations far from the grid.
And the existing power grid would, itself, be potentially obsoleted by fusion power generation. As for the impact on transportation ... imagine a car that could be driven from coast to coast several times without refueling for a few cents! Genie in a Bottle: The Case Against Cold Fusion. It’s starting to look like Debunking Week at the cocktail party. A couple of weeks ago, my SciAm Scibling Joanne Manaster alerted me to a new film called The Believers, detailing the cold fusion controversy. It debuted at the Chicago International Film Festival October 14, where it won the Gold Hugo — as Joanne points out, this is quite a feat, since movies specifically about science don’t show up that often, even among independent documentaries.
It took the production company, 137 Films, three years to put The Believers together, and they’re currently looking for a distributor. I can’t speak for the quality of the film, because I haven’t seen it, but as someone who has covered physics for (*cough*) going on 20 years, I well remember the controversy, and have followed it off and on over the years.
So I readily admit to getting a little rant-y when I encounter insufficiently skeptical reportage on this topic. Still, it’s fantastic fodder for a documentary, if handled responsibly. European Fusion Development Agreement. Michael McKubre on Cold Fusion's rise despite political academic suppression. Having just returned from two amazing conferences featuring cold fusion, NI Week and ICCF-17, Dr. McKubre from SRI International, shared some great insights regarding the whole phenomenon of the emergence of cold fusion near market readiness now, notwithstanding the blackballing it received from academia. By Sterling D. Allan Pure Energy Systems News Yesterday, I had a 1.5-hour chat with Dr. Michael McKubre of SRI International (formerly Stanford Research Institute) in Menlo Park, California, USA.
Cold Fusion Gets a Little More Real. Is Commercial LENR the Real Deal? Big Idea: Bring Back the "Cold Fusion" Dream. In 1989 Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann made a sensational claim that would have changed the world—had it been true. They said they had achieved nuclear fusion at room temperature using a simple tabletop device, thus creating a revolutionary clean energy source they called “cold fusion.” Unfortunately for the University of Utah chemists, multiple attempts to replicate their experiment over ensuing months failed. Cold fusion was considered debunked, and it has lived beyond the fringe of mainstream science ever since. Yet quietly, more than 20 years later, two of the world’s largest mainstream scientific institutions—NASA and the European physics research center CERN—have revisited the controversial energy-generating experiment. Rossi's E-Cat Hits 1000 Degrees Celsius.
Andrea Rossi's E-Cat technology is rapidly evolving, with breakthroughs taking place on a regular basis. Today he announced that the new high temperature E-Cat is now capable of producing temperatures of over 1,000ºC with total stability. 600 Celsius - The Accelerating Evolution of Andrea Rossi's E-Cat. Andrea Rossi's cold fusion technology, called the E-Cat, has been developing rapidly over the past year.
Currently, it is asserted that an extended test of a high- temperature module is taking place. Www.cobraf.com/forum/immagini/R_123487015_1.pdf. New Energy Times - ICCF-17 Conference. A library of papers about cold fusion. The European Physical Journal C - Particles and Fields, Volume 46, Number 1. Ld Fusion gets red hot and aims for EU. The resurgence of "cold fusion" research just shifted up a gear with the most remarkable development yet. Two years ago, Italian inventor Andrea Rossi showed off his Energy Catalyser or E-Cat, a reactor claimed to produce hundreds of kilowatts.
He said it had been purchased by an undisclosed US military customer. Since then Rossi has continued to make extravagant but unverifiable claims, promising that independent tests would be published at some point. Something astonishing has now happened: a third-party report has been published supporting Rossi's claims. Fusion Energy Will Play An Increasing Importance In Global Energy. Is Cold Fusion Finally Being Accepted by the Scientific Community? Back in 1989 two of the greatest electrochemists in the world, Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann, mad a remarkable announcement.
They had witnessed low energy nuclear reactions (LENR) at an atomic level, which generated excess heat. Ld fusion: smoke and mirrors, or raising a head of steam? Update: Cold Fusion Progress in 2012. Sterling Allen interviewed Michael McKubre of SRI International, the international research lab in Menlo Park, CA in a one and a half hour talk covering a wide range of topics. Fusion Powered Car. “They" had problems with this specific site (blame Java problems) Tiny Nuclear Reactions Inside Compact Fluorescent Bulbs? Ftp/arxiv/papers/1305/1305.3913.pdf.
