General Fusion to Go For Fusion Net Gain This Year
May 24, 2013 | 3 Comments
General Fusion, the Canadian firm founded in 2002, plans to accomplish a net energy gain from their experimental reactor apparatus this year. With a ‘proof of concept’ now accomplished for the first reactor device the firm hopes to drive a deuterium-deuterium reaction to fusion that will produce as much and a bit more energy than [...]

An Update on Andrea Rossi and the E-Cat
May 8, 2013 | 17 Comments
Yesterday Sterling D. Allan of PESN and Frank Acland of E-CatWorld conducted a one and a half hour interview with Andrea Rossi hosted by Gary Hendershot on his SmartScarecrow service regarding developments in the E-Cat technology based on the cold fusion technology called “LENR” for Low Energy Nuclear Reaction. SmartScarecrow has chat room where people [...]

A Nuclear Reactor in Every Room
April 3, 2013 | 3 Comments
Lewis Larsen, a Chicago physicist associated with the Widom-Larsen Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) theory is exploring slow nuclear fusion reactions among elements that are not radioactive. Larsen has discovered harmless low-energy nuclear reactions may be taking place routinely inside of compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. LENR has NASA scientists alert now for a prospect [...]

A Fusion that Works: Is Working Much Better
March 14, 2013 | 4 Comments
On February 28 Lawrenceville Plasma Physics’ (LPP) experimental plasma focus device was fired and the team observed a record 380 Gigawatts (GW) of peak power in the ejected ion beam. The most powerful beam previously observed had a peak power of 93 GW making the newest beam measurement a four-fold improvement. To provide context for [...]

Laser Driven Inertial Fusion Energy Gets a Foundation Stone
February 21, 2013 | 1 Comment
The National Research Council has published its unclassified report that determined the potential benefits of successful development of an inertial confinement fusion-based energy technology justify investment in fusion energy research and development as part of the long-term U.S. energy R&D portfolio. A pdf file copy is available for download. The report is about the Lawrence [...]

A New Fusion Reactor Design
January 15, 2013 | 1 Comment
Professor José Luis González Díez from the Higher Technical School of Naval Engineering at the Universidad politécnica de Madrid (UPM) has patented a nuclear fusion reactor of the inertial confinement type. The design is proposed for use both to generate electric power for utilities, as well as applied to ship propulsion. The design appears to [...]

The Inconceivable Embarrassment From Cold Fusion
December 10, 2012 | 14 Comments
U.S. institutional politics, government agencies, and academic science have been caught in denial so strident they’re now shouting “no” while stark raving naked. The nakedness is because of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions or LENR, or an evolution of the famed cold fusion. The intellectual embarrassment is tattooed to the naysayers forever and disqualifies many people. [...]
