luke warm fusion

Thanks for posting this video lecture. My father and I have been following the cold fusion research since 1989 when Pons and Fleischman made their discovery. This lecture does a great job of explaining the research that has occurred since then. Thanks again.

so if i want to build this home , what do i need ?

come on science guys -show it simple part by part i won't replicate it to sell and make a profit from ; i just want to be energy independent :)

if it works i'll "donate" to any account you want

KNOWN nuclear physics. That is it...that was the gist of his arguments and why he said it should not be funded. Now, I am not a "believer", but that does not quite cut it for me. Actually, the book made me even more open minded to the idea, because Huizinga was out to put a nail in the coffin of the claims, and failed to do so so miserably...that perhaps there really is something there.  Tell DARPA it is just a "sham" and "entertainment"

As someone who read the poor excuse for a debunking put forth by the Chair of the '89 committe you just mentioned, that Wikipedia site you just quoted hardly convinces me. The main arguments put forth by Huizinga, said Chair, in his book "Cold Fusion, Fiasco of the Twentieth Century" were that Fleischman and Pons should not have called a press conference, that they were too concerned about patent rights, that the experiment was not "simple" to reproduce, and that LENR violates

Oh...and DARPA's interest in this thing has to make you kind of wonder if there is something there.......

I am not a believer, just yet. But, if I had a few million dollars to spare, I would do my own research into the matter. As for the skeptics, Huizinga, who I mentioned before, was the one who chaired the DOE ERAB panel back in '89. And as I said, he did not debunk all that much, as far as I am concerned......

phenomena. I am reminded of Einstein who told a group of Canadian journalists in the early thirties that obtaining net energy from a FISSION nuclear reaction would be "akin to shooting birds in the dark in a country with very few birds". In other words, using nuclear fission to turn matter into energy was unlikely. Einstein had said so, because he was thinking of a model which used protons aimed at nuclei to break the nuclei and create a chain reaction. Szilard suggested a neutron..and the

is illegitimate. It means the jury is still out. Actually, Huizinga's book did more to convince me that there may be something to the phenomena because he did all he could to throw water on the phenomena, but the best he could come up with was criticism of Fleichman and Pons and that LENR violates KNOWN understanding of nuclear physics...and that many, though not all, of those researchers who spent a month or so failed to reproduce the effect. In my view, his book FAILED to debunk the

I do not have a few hundred k to put into a "cold fusion" (LENR) experiment right now, so all I know about the phenomena is what I have been able to read about and see here on youtube. What I do know is this...the only thing Huizinga (the chief LENR skeptic) was able to debunk in his book, "Cold Fusion, Fiasco of the Twentyfirst Century" was the way Pons and Fleischmann handled their discovery and the idea that "simple" experiments could confirm their discovery. That does not mean LENR itself

This man is relating his own experience and has a distinguished scientific career of 34 years as a radiochemist at Los Alamos National Laboratory and 18 years in cold fusion science. Oh, and for those of you with an attention span of less than 1:10, the field is now called "Condensed Matter Nuclear Science" or CMNS. Google that.

[frohman101]

fringe science, there is no cold fusion. it takes pressures and temperatures so high to overcome coulomb forces in order to fuse 2 nuclei. don't fool yourself.
