Cold fusion

Cold fusion

Knols about Cold fusion have been written by established experts in the field. The article below intentionally confuses electrochemistry with acoustics. One should look at the details but never zoom in to far as to loose important related work out of sight. The key ingredient in all free energy technologies is in the combination of different effects. To be different effects they most of all need to be just that - different.

Acoustic dissociation of water

The first to accomplish Sonofusion has to be the Pistol shrimp.

In 1874 John W. Keely described and demonstrated the acoustic dissociation of water.

In 1970, Dr. Andrija Puharich (MD) acidentally made oxyhydrogen gas while subjecting blood to specific freqencies.  Unknowingly reproducing Keely's work.[1]

Punarich refined system has a barrel-shaped cavity containing water. He  introduces  alternating  current   at  600 Hz. The cavity resonates  with  the  impulses. Adding additional harmonics, cause the  proton  in the hydrogen atom to rotate,  further  forcing  the hydrogen to split from the oxygen.[1]

Keely stated that water can be progressively dissociated at 620, 630 and 12,000 Hz (These  are on the molecular, atomic and etheric levels respectively.)[1]

Punarich 600 cps  is a  harmonic  of  Keely's 12,000 Hz etheric level

12,000  /  20  =  600

Keely also claims  that the disruption of water occurs  at  42,800 cycles per second.[1]

It is significant to note that Punarich converted his motor home to run on water and reportedly drove it around for hundreds of thousands of miles using water as fuel.


Nobel prize winner Dr. Nakamats who holds over 3000 patents and invented the floppy disk claimed his Nostradam II engine can make free energy from water. His patent describes the use of a resonating member to disassociate water into hydrogen and oxygen.

The hundreds of laboratory confirmations of Pons and Fleishman's cold fusion setup also deserves a note here.

Lets not forget Stanley Meyer, who obviously coudn't be expected to explain everything he invented. Stan's hardware has been experimentally examined by:

  1. Dr. Eugene Antonov
  2. Dr. Vladimir Dresyiannikov
  3. Dr. Tibor Nagypal
  4. Roy Azevedo
  5. Peter Graneau
  6. Charles Millet
  7. Neal Graneau
  8. Gary Johnson
  9. Rea O’Neill
  10. Prof. Mike Laughton
  11. Admiral Sir Anthony Griffin
  12. Dr Keith Hindley
  13. US military
  14. US Patent Office experts and the Pantent Office seconded experts.

The basic WFC was subjected to three years of testing. This raises the granted patents to the level of independent, critical, scientific and engineering confirmation that the devices actually perform as claimed.

Named scientists have observed the cell making gas without heating up for many hours at a time.

Former NASA scientist Daniel Dingle has been driving around in a car running on water since 1965. He deserves the benefit of the doubt because not one news agency has dared to visit him.

Heavy water physicist Yull Brown has unquestionably demonstrated we are dealing with a nuclear reaction by neutralising radioactive materials using a brown gas torch. Brownsgas is a soup made of water droplets, steam, protonic and normal hydrogen and oxygen.

NASA scientist Herman P. Anderson has also managed to accomplish cheap dissociation of water.

Anderson, Brown, Dingle, Punarich, Nakamats and Meyer have all build cars running on water. A car with a Garrett carburetor drove journalists around Texas as early as 1935 refueling at the lake. Denis Klein also build a car running on it's own hydrogen source.

Even when one asserts all of the above to be hoaxes in the face of our world problems, even then the pistol shrimp will be staring you in the face.

By lack of business insight perhaps you don't want to believe in conspiracies but....

....why is Keely's patent still not listed?

.... what business does Congress have debunking sonofusion?

From: "Rusi P. Taleyarkhan"

I am away from campus and could not respond earlier but suffice to say
I and several of my colleagues are apalled at the note from Rep.Miller
for it's lack of balance and single-minded fervor to posit a
prejudicial one-sidedness.  I will be able to talk with you next
Monday if you wish but thought I'd share my views with you here.  Feel
free to contact several of my co-authors (cc'd to this message).

Basically, One must question:

    Why did this memo/letter from Rep. Miller's office intentionally
omit ANY/ALL mention of the positive findings and supporting evidence
from the many reports from Purdue Univ. committees that ultimately
prevailed to have Purdue's peers and administrators make it's
February,2007 decision to issue it's Press release concluding no
misconduct and no need for further investigations?  Why this
intentional cherry-picking of points from the written reports
specially chosen to portray a negative image?  Is this the American
system we are to follow, or is it just politics as usual?  As written,
the memo/letter essentially presents only the accusers points of view
and passes it's verdict on the accusations.

    Why did this memo/letter completely disregard the mass of
supporting evidence / information sent to it by me separately
(including a statement to Congress) that essentially answered all of
the accusations being levied with vitriolic fervor?

    Why is it that the same people/detractors who openly as of last
December eagerly awaited Purdue's verdict on my work during the
year-long reviews and examination of facts, only to then come out to
challenge the same once the verdict was announced because the outcome
was not what they wanted to hear?  Smacks of sour-grapes and
reminiscent of the political knee-jerk demand for a recount during
political season.

    Fundamentally, why would Purdue administration want to side with me
rather than the accusers, one of them who was an administrator himself
who fell from grace for his many actions totally unrelated to bubble
fusion?  In fact, I am the one who has borne the brunt of the burden
for extraordinary proof based on which Purdue made the Feb.2007 Press
announcement absolving me of research misconduct.

    Why is it that per rules of engagement the requirements for
confidentiality in State of Indiana's C-22 Process being selectively
applied to me?  Why is it that the illegal actions of some go
intentionally unpunished even when they openly are defiant of the
admonishments from the Provost and the rules we are all expected to
abide by?

    By any stretch this transmittal represents a gross travesty of
justice.  Where are the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons of the Asian
community during this episode that has caused this biased and openly
one-sided smear campaign?

Letter to the incoming Obama administration [3]

November 2008

I call your attention to a source of energy that has been largely ignored, but has huge potential: cold fusion (the Fleischmann-Pons effect).

This is a fusion reaction between deuterium atoms in solid materials. Over the last 20 years, it has been explored in laboratories world-wide and found to be much more efficient and cheaper than the conventional plasma fusion (ITER) method. It has produced thousands of times more energy per gram of fuel than any chemical reaction, and it can probably generate millions of times more. In some experiments, it has reached temperatures and power density comparable to the core of a conventional fission reactor.

This method is still not sufficiently understood to be scaled up or commercialized, but the potential is great. Government funding is needed to help achieve this understanding. Senior researchers at National Laboratories, the U. S. Navy and other government laboratories have done outstanding cold fusion research in the past, and they would like to do more, but they have not been adequately funded.

Technical details about cold fusion, including hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific papers from mainstream journals, can be found at this website

Prof. D. Nagel gives keynote address at ISA EXPO 2008 [3]

September 2008

David J. Nagel, Research Professor at The George Washington University, presented the International Society for Measurement & Control (ISA) EXPO 2008 Keynote/Rimbach Lecture on October 15th at ISA EXPO 2008 in Houston, Texas (October 14 - 16).[3] [4]

Rimbach Lecture 2008 - Instrumentation for Low Energy Nuclear Reactions
Wednesday, October 15, 2008 8:30 AM  -  9:30 AM, Room 301

Description:

Two chemists announced in 1989 that they could produce nuclear reactions and energy under ordinary conditions of temperature and pressure. They were Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons. Their reactions were termed “cold fusion”, even though no one really knew then what nuclear reactions might be occurring. In the years since 1989, hundreds of experiments have been done on what is now called Low Energy Nuclear Reactions, or the Fleischmann-Pons Effect. The experiments have involved electrochemical, gas phase, plasma and beam interactions with solids. Power production and new materials have been reported in many studies. The total body of experimental evidence shows that it is indeed possible to produce nuclear reactions at low input energies. However, the field remains controversial and poorly understood. There is no satisfactory theory now for what has been observed. Past and current experiments require sophisticated instrumentation, including both multiple sensors and automated control of relevant conditions. Many people, including those in several start-up companies, believe that understanding, control, optimization and commercial exploitation of this new means to trigger nuclear reactions will follow in the coming years. That could lead to a new industry that manufactures individual nuclear power units for homes and offices, which produce very small amounts of prompt radiation and negligible radioactivity. The units could have many uses, notably the production of clean drinking water. If the anticipated advances occur, including significant scaling up in power levels, a new nuclear reactor industry will emerge. Sensing and control instrumentation will be as critical in that industry as they are in current energy production and process control industries.[3]

The ISA reported:

"Wednesday’s keynote address was given by cold fusion expert Dr. David J. Nagel of George Washington University and drew a large crowd. Dr. Nagel’s presentation, entitled 'Instrumentation for Low Energy Nuclear Reactions,' inspired much discussion and dialogue surrounding the importance of cold fusion technology and application."[3] [5]

Another ISA report by Jim Strothman described Nagel's lecture:

". . . To develop the 'promise' -- which includes LENR technologies having a wide-range of possibilities, from replacing batteries to providing clean water -- 'the need for instrumentation is urgent. There has not been (instruments) we need to pursue this experimentally,' [Nagel] said.[3] [6]

And:

With LENR, 'nuclear reactions are occurring at modest temperatures -- the experimental evidence is amazing. And there’s no noticeable nuclear waste,' Nagel said. 'So you can drive something (like a home appliance) and not make a mess.'"[3] [6]


Continued persecution of sono-fusion at Purdue [3]

August 2008. Sono-fusion researcher Rusi Taleyarkhan has been sanctioned by Purdue University on trumped-up charges of academic malfeasance. This has been brought about by academic rivals, U.S. Congressman Brad Miller, and by the corrupt, out-of-control head of the department Prof. Lefteri Tsoukalas. [7] This affadavit by a department secretary at Purdue describes racist attacks and absurd threats made by Tsoukalas.[8] Other affadavits confirm this account.[9] On September 1, 2008, additional evidence came to light tying the New York Times to the scandal.[10]

Prof. Y. Arata Gives Lecture and Demonstration at Osaka University

On May 22, 2008,  Osaka National University Prof. emeritus Yoshiaki Arata gave a lecture and demonstration of his latest cold fusion reactor, in Arata Hall on the university campus. (Note that Arata Hall is named after Prof. Arata, who is one Japan's leading scientists, with honors including a building named after him at the university, and an award from the Japanese Emperor in 2006.)[3]


BlackLight Power, Inc.

"Just what does it take before a revolutionary discovery is accepted by the world's scientific community? That's the question raised by renewed claims by a US-based company to have found a radically new source of energy." - the national

BlackLight Power, Inc. is the inventor of a new primary energy source with applications to heating, distributed power generation, central power generation, and motive power. It is based on a new chemical process of releasing the latent energy of the hydrogen atom, the BlackLight Process. On October 20, 2008, BlackLight announced off-site validation of a 50 kW reactor. Rowan Scientists confirmed BLP's 1 kW and 50 kW power source tests corresponding to 20 kilojoules and 1.0 megajoules respectively.  Chemical analysis of the reactant and product R-Ni powder could account for less than 1% of the observed energy from known chemistry.  BlackLight's results have been published widely and replicated by independent groups.

Archimedes Plutonium

Message from discussion Put ITER and NOVA on ice; and all-out-attack on Sonofusion[11]

 Fool is pushing it a little, but you have to realize lack of creativity

 make the needed observations required for cell adjustment. Now, I am
 sure there will be many experments with sono in cryo liquids; so, keep
 your eyes peeled.
 
   Greg, I thought you promised to experiment with mercurysonofusion
 come August, and this is August. Would it not be better quality time
 with the experiment rather than make posts to the Net? What neutron
 measurements do you plan to make on the mercury?
   My writings have a _Policy Statement_ included and therefore should
 be heeded more than your writings, Greg. The policy statement concerns
 the funding of big science projects. It is _Pragmatic_.
 
   Policy Statement--- fund those big science projects which demonstrate
 a *beneficial surprize* along the way.
 
   So, let us review the history of these three competing engineering
 fusion programs.
 
   (1) Tokamak fusion: started 1950, spent 15 billion, with never any
 beneficial surprizes along the way. At best achieved 1/4 breakeven.
   (2) Laser (Shiva -Nova) fusion: started 1970, spent 5 billion, with
 never any beneficial surprizes along the way. Again, at best achieved
 was 1/4 breakeven
 
   (3)Sonofusion: started 1988, spent only some thousands of dollars,
 not millions nor billions. A huge big surprize occurred in the year
 1990 when Gaitan & Crum were able to sustain a stable large bubble that
 was repeatable. Two big surprizes, stability and repeatability. This
 bubble can already be used to produce lasers. So already this 1990
 discovery has engineering use.
 
   So, from judging the history of seeking fusion energy, already, of
 the 3 contenders we have a front runner according to the _policy
 statement_.
 
   How much would  it cost both in time and in money to setup Sonofusion
 with the most advanced state of the art equipment and to accurately
 measure forsonofusion in 1,000 different liquids, liquids of nearly
 all the elements of the periodic table and 900 others and their various
 different dopings. My estimate is in the low millions of dollars. How
 much time? I suspect in less than 1 to 2 years of diligent work. Then,
 if no further big surprize comes withSonofusionafter the 2 years time
 is up, back to the ITER and NOVA and their increased budgets and
 activities. But in the meantime, the 2 years for Sonofusion, keep
 tokamak and laser fusion at this level with no increase. After the 2
 years is up with intense research into those 1,000 liquids, and no
 further big surprize, then back to ITER and NOVA on schedule.
 
   My policy statement was recently put into action. Although I must
 admit that I arrived at this policy statement after the deeds and
 actions had already been committed. I bespeak of the Mars Pathfinder
 mission. Here we had big science project. And before the Mars
 expedition we had other planets and satellites competing for space
 missions. But a big beneficial surprize came to the space program in
 the form of a Mars meteorite found on the South Pole that was
 discovered to "claim purported life". That discovery justified the
 spending for the Pathfinder mission to Mars. Here we have an example of
 a big science project that follows my policy statement to the tee.
 
   So, considering that Sonofusion of the three types of fusion design
 has been the only research to turn up a big beneficial surprize. And
 considering that the cheap money and the small amount of time, 2 years
 is fast, that the knowledge gained of 1,000 different liquids and
 dopings, knowledge that will be sought in the future anyway! That this
 route makes the most pragmatic and commonsense.
 
   And also,Sonofusion, if it exists is either directly related to
 Laser fusion, in that the collapsing bubble is the laser driver.
Or, Sonofusion, on the remote chance could be a tiny *supernova-physics*.
 
   What I am implying above is that Sonofusionis combinable with Nova
 Laser type fusion. Instead of the pellet to be fused with Lasers. Stick
 the Sonobubble in the center of the Lasers and help the Sonobubble
 along with achieving fusion. But we need to know what the best liquid
 is and doping is.

It works with tap water. Use a sonic jewelery cleaner tune it, add high voltage to help it along. Mix in incombustible (exhaust) gasses to prevent the hydrogen and oxygen from making pairs and to reduce the burn speed.


Comments

Sonofusion is not cold fusion

Numerous references here confuse sonofusion with cold fusion. It is not, if it works, it's hot fusion; the bubble collapse is postulated (or measured?) to generate the very high temperatures necessary for hot fusion.Cold fusion, again if it works, happens at low energies/temperatures. There is also an accepted process for generating neutrons by deuterium fusion using piezoelectric generation of a very high voltage field; similarly, the "device" is cold, but it generates temperatures (or "energies") in a very small region that are sufficient to cause measurable fusion to take place.
