Every time I write about cold fusion, by the way, I get one or two letters from some "esteemed" professor of physics from some university who thinks it's his job to explain to me why cold fusion doesn't exist and can't work. (It's a lot like receiving a letter through some sort of time machine, where all the senders of the letters are fifty years behind...) As always, these people remain utterly ignorant of what's happening in this field. For example, in 1999, the Depart of Energy actually funded a low-energy nuclear reaction lab at the University of Illinois. Read it yourself at http://www.

According to the hot fusion defenders, this was proof enough that cold fusion was a fraud. Of course, it is scientific insanity to suggest that just because something happens three out of ten times, it doesn't exist at all. In my view, three out of ten times is pretty darn good for an emerging science that is experimental in nature and very poorly understood. With refinement and additional experiments, that number could doubtlessly have been increased to six or seven out of ten, and perhaps eventually ten out of ten. Nevertheless, cold fusion was discredited.

If you think back to 1989 and look at the way this issue was suppressed, you realize that the credibility of cold fusion was destroyed by scientists who had career and ego investments in the theories of hot fusion. These were scientists who had published papers or invested their careers in multi-billion dollar experiments trying to generate free electricity from hot fusion. Thus, the idea that two chemists could create cold fusion with a tabletop experiment was viewed as outrageous.

A 30 percent success rate means it's real The reason why cold fusion was difficult to prove back in 1989 is because, during those times, the experimenters were only able to replicate these low-energy nuclear reactions in 30 percent of the experiments. So if a laboratory ran ten experiments, they would obtain low-energy nuclear reactions in three of those ten cases. According to the hot fusion defenders, this was proof enough that cold fusion was a fraud. Of course, it is scientific insanity to suggest that just because something happens three out of ten times, it doesn't exist at all.

Nevertheless, cold fusion was discredited. Today, more than 15 years later, it remains discredited and virtually unknown in the Western world. Meanwhile, Fleischmann and Pons are busy working for private corporations who will, without a doubt, one day release industrial or consumer versions of low-energy nuclear reactors that will provide free energy to households, businesses and even entire communities at very little cost.

We invented the personal computer, the internet, radio, television and even cold fusion technology, which is now being explored as low-energy nuclear reactions (and despite what you may have heard, cold fusion is quite real and replicable. In fact, cold fusion is being duplicated right now in more than 80 laboratories around the world, including many in Japan, where low-energy nuclear reactions are being used to heat water.) We are also great inventors of software and web-based application services. I think America produces the most innovative software in the world.

Tabletop fusion breakthroughs are too hot for ideologically entrenched scientists Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Mere mention of the term "tabletop fusion" or "cold fusion" causes previously logical, unemotional physics department colleagues to transform into raging cultist lunatics who believe that discrediting low-energy nuclear reactions is a religious calling. Witness the treatment of Fleishman and Pons, two chemists who demonstrated tabletop fusion in the late 1980's and were immediately attacked, discredited and ostracized by advocates of hot fusion. Yet cold fusion experiments are alive and well today, with verified results being replicated in literally hundreds of labs around the world.

Book review: The Long Emergency by James Howard Kunstler reveals a bleak future after peak oil Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Nuclear, solar, wind, cold fusion, gas hydrates and many other areas of alternative energy are discussed in the book, and each one is shown to be inadequate in replacing the loss of fossil fuels that seems inevitable. If Kunstler is correct, we are in for a rough ride that would no doubt include a rather sharp population correction. Without inexpensive fuel resources, the world simply cannot support our current population.

A related process called "cold fusion" has been pursued in laboratories sedulously for decades, as methods for turning lead into gold were doggedly pursued by alchemists centuries ago—and so far with similar results. Perhaps the least obvious aspect of the nuclear conundrum is this: Atomic fission is useful for producing electricity, but most of America's energy needs are for things that electricity can't do very well, if at all. For instance, you can't fly airplanes on electric power from nuclear reactors.8 The U.S.

Now a new round of attacks is being unleashed against Purdue researcher Rusi Taleyarkhan, who has gone public with his construction of a tabletop nuclear fusion device that's about the size of a coffee maker.

The systemic memory process potentially provides a new explanation for the controversial claims of so called "cold fusion." Courageous physicists, chemists, and engineers are continuing to conduct serious research in this area. Contemporary research suggests that under special circumstances, energy can accumulate in physical systems. Under the right conditions, the energy may accumulate and create a "cold" fusion of useful energy. The systemic memory process also helps explain sonar luminescence—the conversion of low intensity sound in water to high intensity heat and light.

Cold Fusion has been achieved with a battery platinum positive anode (increases Oxygen), and a palladium negative cathode (increases Hydrogen) which absorbs a lot of Hydrogen; the nuclei oftwo atoms fuse despite being positively charged (repelling each other), overcoming the Coulomb barrier for a non-linear release of super heat energy. Electricity is measured by amperes/current flow; and Volts/electromotive push force: creating a Field equaling Volts times Area with a perpendicular magnetic field.

In the United States, the censorship of science has now become routine in areas like global warming and cold fusion, where the only researchers allowed to continue working are those who subscribe to the politics that says pollution does not affect the environment and there's no such thing as low-energy nuclear reactions. Even while we are facing a certain energy crisis in the years ahead, some of the most promising clean energy research being conducted today is routinely censored, criticized and shut down. All in the name of science, of course.

But pigs don't have wings."7 As a result of this scientific whitewash, for all practical purposes, cold fusion lost all credibility with the media, politicians, mainstream scientists, environmentalists and most of the public. But throughout all the turmoil, other things were beginning to happen. Several positive observations of the Fleischmann-Pons Effect were coming from places as disparate as the Stanford Research Institute, the Los Alamos and Oak Ridge National Laboratories, the University of Illinois, Texas A&M University, the U.S.

Respected British new energy researcher Harold Aspden, formerly IBM's European Patent Director, recently put the cold fusion flap this way: "The hot fusion community was beside itself, outraged at the audacity of such a prospect. There was a conflict of interest, tempered by disbelief, and so we have witnessed a chapter in science that is quite shameful, besides being severely detrimental to our quest to find new non-polluting sources of energy..A drastic shake-up is needed to get energy science back on course."8 Hydrogen Gas Cells: The Trump Card Technology?

Free (or new) energy would cause one of the most extraordinary revolutions in the history of technology (examples include special electromagnetic devices, cold fusion, and hydrogen gas cells). The potential for free energy needs to be debated widely and openly about its great benefits as well as its possible abuse in the wrong hands. Attempts to bring free energy into the world have been thwarted at every turn, because this would spell the end of the energy cartel. As scientist-inventor Dr.

A hydrogen economy can also lead to a new energy economy through the use of cold fusion cells and hydrogen cells which could provide an abundance of cheap hydrogen and electricity. New Energy. Ultimately we shall be moving beyond conventional energy generation into new energy. Some of us are using the definition of new energy as "a source of energy of practical use that has heretofore been unrecognized by science." 3 By this definition conventional renewable energy is not new energy.

He is also famous in the field for having once referred to the prion hypothesis as the "cold fusion" of infectious disease.14 Rohwer, who began his TSE career when he joined Gajdusek's group in the mid-1970s and published his first CJD paper with him in 1977, claims that the main arguments used to swing thinking toward the protein-only camp do not actually do away with a virus. In a paper he wrote in 1991 entitled "The Scrapie Agent: AVirus by Any Other Name',"15 he systematically cataloged his objections, based on his own and others' work.

Cofactors or cold fusion? The inability to create infectivity from a test-tube preparation of PrP^c suggests two things. One is that some other compound, present in vivo (in the animal), helps create the infectivity—that is, a cofactor helps fold PrPc into PrPSc. Indeed, the cell relies on several types of so-called chaperone molecules to direct newborn proteins to fold properly. The yeast prion [PSI] relies on a chaperone molecule called heat-shock protein 104 to fold it from one form to another.

Our fossil fuel obsession has such a grip on us that we have become mesmerized about being open to alternatives such as cold fusion and other free energy now being researched, as well as the traditional renewable options: hydrogen, solar photovoltaics, wind power and biomass. One exception to the fossil fuel monopoly is nuclear energy, which has its own problems, such as the disposal of radioactive waste. But we are also seeing other global catastrophes unfolding that demand innovative solutions: water pollution, deforestation, unsustainable agriculture, unreclaimed mining, to mention a few.

Two electrochemists sparked a major scientific controversy on March 23, 1989, when they announced that they could perform nuclear fusion at room temperature ("cold fusion") with simple apparatus available to most laboratories. Physicists almost immediately proclaimed it impossible. A year or so later it appeared that the physicists were right and the chemists wrong, but it was still not clear what was happening with the chemists' apparatus. Claims and counterclaims, and even possible fraud, clouded the story from the beginning.
