Cold Fusion aka LENR to be Reviewed at CERN
February 10, 2012 | 14 Comments
Celani is a prominent Italian physicist at the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics, and Srivastave is an emeritus professor of physics at Indiana University in the U.S.
The point being made in the announcement is Celani and Srivastave are going to present an overview of the primary LENR or Cold Fusion progress made since 1989, some time after the Fleischmann and Pons study release. At task are the experimental and theoretical studies on thermal and nuclear anomalies observed in forced interactions of hydrogen and deuterium, in non-equilibrium conditions, with pure or alloyed materials primarily palladium and nickel.
Of interest are the experimental conditions in electrolytic environments running at moderate temperatures of 20-50°C and recently gas environments have been used at higher temperatures in the range of 200-400°C with the use of temperatures between 500-900°C in the latest work.
Likely of importance is Celani and Srivastave are expected to show specific nanostructures have begun to play a crucial role in basic studies and in commercial claims for technological and industrial applications, noticeably the Rossi led effort and the competitor Defkalion.
The scheduling announcement points to an array of theoretical models proposed to explain the many experimental anomalies seen in LENR research. The announcement says “A brief description of a weak interaction model shall be presented that claims to explain almost ALL of the anomalous effects found so far.” The emphasis at “ALL” is from the announcement.

What is there to make of all this? First it’s CERN, one of the world’s largest and most respected institutions for scientific research in fundamental physics, for finding out what the Universe is made of and how it works. CERN is the world’s largest and currently the premiere sub atomic particle collider. Their business is the discovery of the particles that make up protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei. It’s a sure bet most everyone there has a good grounding in atomic physics before diving off into the unknown of subatomic particle physics.
Second is Celani and Srivastave are not lightweights, or there wouldn’t be a colloquium at CERN to start with. Ignatios Antoniadis and Daniele Benedetti have organized the meeting for late on a Thursday to be held in a significant room. Make of that what you will.
As for expectations, that would be speculative in nature. The obvious and most interesting questions for now center on the level of attendance and who attends. Then the demeanor of the room will be of interest and finally the tone of the questions and the discussion. Of particular note will be the level of acceptance the attendees allow for the Celani and Srivastave assertion that something worthwhile in energy production is taking place.
Its not likely that a ‘setup’ is taking place, although the history of the science from the past is quite alarming, the sheer volume of successes and the imminent, if yet still dubious commercialization, places the burden of responsible inquest on the attendees with a responsible disclosure burden on the presenters.
Yet the CERN folks are working much deeper than atomic nuclei and the Coulumb barrier probably has a role in the calculations there. The facts of LENR or Cold Fusion may provide the ingenious there with some new ways to delve even deeper. While many are harboring grand hopes from the meeting, the results may very likely point to how the LENR research will apply or benefit the attendees’ interest in particle research.
Everybody cool out. The one certain expectation is it’s a CERN meeting for their purposes and they are gracious enough to let us listen in.
But, stay tuned.

Hopefully Pons & Fleischman will soon be vindicated by the scientific community and get their just recognitions. If this does ever go commercial and actually works (which I believe it will), it would make the scientific community, who up to now, have pretty much avoided the question of Cold fusion (LENR, LANR or whatever moniker fits) look pretty bad. Therefore its about time for them to come clean and do diligent investigations into the phenomenon – step up and be counted before it passes them by…

Andrei Rossi and the E-Cat: Con Artist or Genius?
Fraud claims over E-Cat ‘cold fusion’ machine heating up

Manotick,
Check out Rossie’s response:
http://www.e-catworld.com/2012/02/1833/
As to your first reference, this is what one would expect from a publication which promotes oil – the E-Cats are a threat to their very existence…
What about the Omerta, the Code of Silence? Think about the consequences. If this gets out all hell will break loose.
Somebody make them stop. What about my Oil Shares? Help!!
Seriously though, this is not good news. Rossi is trying to sneak past the Regulators with the logic that “We have it on good evidence from eminent scientists that what we are selling is hocum and snake oil. Therefore, nothing Nuclear is happening here folks. Move along.” Caveat emptor.
Imagine the paperwork involved in trying to buy one of his devices for your home if it has the anal retentive N word on it.
Let us hope for a thumbs down from the Learned Professors so that Rossi can present his devices for the market as a fait accompli.
Arthur, There is no proven theory on how this all works, as yet. There is the Windom/Larson theory – as yet unsubstantiated, but if it is then we need not fear any nuclear problems from these LENR reactors!
Perhaps something substantial along these lines will come from this colloquium – but I somehow doubt it.
In the meantime, if LENR products hit the market soon (within the next year or so), your oil and coal investments will suffer a big hit. Perhaps now is the time to sell those while they are at their, people gouging, peak?
There is a theory about the working of “cold fusion” in gas phase actually being LANR in
published BE1002780 and BE1002781 published translated into English on e-CatSite under the title “Belgian LANR Patents”, inventor Van den Bogaert Joannes. Theory about the origine of “rest mass” in BE1002781 on pages 3 and 4 in hands of Dr. Edmund Storms (USA).
In addition to the former blog I invite you to consider the article : “Cold Fusion Catalyst” published through e-Cat Site.It relates to atomtransmutation of nickel to copper by means of anionic hydrogen (H-) and discusses the Randell Mills’ theory of the production of hydrinos.
Turning to the equation for restmass of the proton disclosed on pages 3 and 4 of BE1002781 to be find in English through “Belgian LANR Patents” I like to point out that from that equation can be learned that the product of restmass and spin radius is constant as electric charge is constant (invariant) Such as deep consequences on the structure of Fermiparticles being normal particles or antiparticles having different curvature (sphere or saddle structure). Moreover, I like to say that the above constant product does not exclude the phenomenon of zitterbewegung (trembling) being the cause of longitudinal gravity waves. The frequency of said waves can be calculated starting with the pendulum formula of Huygens putting L (pendulum length) equal to spin radius. Spin radius can be calculated through the time independent Schrodinger equation for a standing wave (see BE900719).

The Belgian patent cited as BE900719 is actually BE904719. Herein has been mentioned Belgian patent BE895579 wherein Figure 3 plays a major role in the viewpoint that a spinning elecron may be represented by a standing wave. Please consider also Figure 1 wherein the distance between 2 spinning electrons has been described.

I believe what you said was very reasonable. However, what about this?
suppose you were to write a awesome headline?
I ain’t suggesting your information is not good, however what
if you added a headline that makes people want more? I mean Cold Fusion aka LENR to be Reviewed at CERN | New Energy
and Fuel is kinda plain. You could peek at Yahoo’s front page
and note how they create post headlines to grab people interested.
You might add a related video or a picture or two to grab readers excited about what you’ve got to
say. Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little livelier.
This is the perfect webpage for everyone who really wants to understand this topic.
You understand a whole lot its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would
want to…HaHa). You certainly put a brand new spin on a topic
that has been written about for years. Great stuff,
just wonderful!
