LENR (Its new name)

The science discussed September's Zurich conference was evidently more persuasive. One time sceptic Enric Gunther now believes that Rossi has what he claims (http://www.e-catworld.com/2012/09/report-from-zurich-conference-attendee/): "All his data he published fits with what other more scientific groups found."

I just keep thinking of "Back to the Future" and the "Mr. Fusion" attachments on Doc Brown's car from the future....

I for one hope that Cold fusion is a reality. The oil and energy corporations keep this quiet, they will loose so much if this works. Insane world we live in where the greedy gets the stuff and the richer gets richer.

Kind of interesting how topics that appeared disconnected go together- I didn't relate it to the other link on corporate psychopathy until you mentioned it, ST.

Have also been watching this, there has been an element of smoke and mirrors when it comes to getting hard data but then there are obviously proprietary interests involved also. Here is an example of a recent Q and A with Rossi. http://www.e-catworld.com/2012/10/october-1-qa-with-andrea-rossi/

There have been demonstrations by Rossi including some at a company where there is a contract to install and provide power generation using this method, the interesting thing now is that it looks like some hard data is going to be made public maybe. Of more interest perhaps is that other institutes and organisations are becoming more engaged and their results perhaps will get a better airing in the public domain.

The site linked to above along with lots of other sites have an interest in this and keep an eye on developments of interest.

One thing about this system, it uses Nickel as a fuel source, somewhat abundant as a material so useful in that respect.
