Gerald Celente Thinks A Bunch Of Car Batteries Produces Cold Fusion

This is the kind of kook Gerald Celente relies upon for his divinations. Little wonder that Rossi has a rap sheet just like Peter Schiff's father, renowned con-artist and felon Irwin Schiff - for tax fraud and illegal importation of gold.

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 in 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.
Cold fusion is a tricky business -- some say a theoretically implausible business -- and exactly zero of the previous claims of successful cold fusion have proven legitimate (remember when North Korea developed cold fusion?). Hypothetically (and broadly) speaking, the process involves fusing two smaller atomic nuclei together into a larger nucleus, a process that releases massive amounts of energy. If harnessed, cold fusion could provide cheap and nearly limitless energy with no radioactive byproduct or massive carbon emissions.
Andrea Rossi and Sergio Focardi claim to have done exactly that. Their reactor, they claim, fuses atomic nuclei of nickel and hydrogen using about 1,000 watts of electricity which, after a few minutes, is reduced to an input of just 400 watts. This reaction purportedly can turn 292 grams of 68 degree water into turbine-turning steam -- a process that would normally require 12,400 watts of electricity, netting them a power gain of about 12,000 watts.

They say that commercially scaled, their process could generate eight units of output per unit of input and would cost roughly one penny per kilowatt-hour, drastically cheaper than your average coal plant.
The problem is, they haven't provided any details on how the process works. After their paper was rejected by several peer reviewed scientific journals, it was published in the Journal of Nuclear Physics-- an online journal apparently founded by Rossi and Focardi. Further, they say they can't account for how the cold fusion is triggered, fostering deep skepticism from others in the scientific community.
Based on this lack of even a theoretical basis for the device's function, a patent application was rejected. Their credibility isn't helped by the fact that Rossi apparently has something of a rap sheet, which allegedly includes illegally importing gold and tax fraud.

i noticed you didn't approve my comment Schitt but you could atleast research the topic yourself before looking worse than celente.

Pentagon/DARPA are working on Cold Fusion technology but you think it's a scam? why would the US government and other governments around the world be pouring money into researching the technology?

as much as i detest Celente, you are wrong about cold fusion being a scam.

[SchittReport]

@world2explode2moro

i did NOT say cold fusion is a scam. i'm saying the italian team that celente uses as an example is a scam.

Yes people, "Cold Fusion" and "Perpetual Motion" machines are "real", just like these rock-throwing, trashcan burning mid-east ChIA Pet "Revolutions". The reason they don't go into mass production? It never works, but magically, just long enough for investors to line up. Kind of like- Rodin Coils, the absolute "magic" of "Over Unity", "Free Energy", "HHO", etc. Hucksters are a dime a dozen, just like the suckers that fall for it. I guess using a lead tube is the same as making a mini-sun....

[volkderfreiheitzwei]

@jum401 No. The only radiation is gamma rays. Thats why there is lead covering the Energy Catalyzer: the lead protect you from gamma rays.

There is not radioactive waste: the only "waste" (ie a product of the nuclear fusion between hydrogen and nickel) is COPPER: no radioactive copper as result of the fusion.

[jum401]

@horlacsd no radiation with thorium then? no radioactive wastes?

[energycatalyzer]

Here is a blog with links and brief info on the energycatalyzer

@FilipKunc what you should be asking yourself is; how does the sun work? what is the suns source of energy?

Are you suggesting it's impossible to create energy the way the sun does? why is it "impossible"? we developed the atomic and hydrogen bombs for mass destruction but we can't harness the power of physics to generate limitless amounts of energy? you really believe that? so what is the sun running on?

@world2explode2moro At one point in time the US government was involved in psychic research. Is that proof that telepathy is real?

[world2explode2moro]

@SchittReport i stand corrected.

There already is a peaceful, abundant energy solution : THORIUM

Check out LFTR reactors. Technology is decades old, principle has been proved. Thorium is abundant and completely safe compared to uranium.
