    • Applications
      • World Slow to Adopt Electric Cars - I have hoped for quite a while that internal combustion-powered cars would start to be replaced in a significant way by electric ones, but it seems that for now at least that is not happening. I hadn't realized just how poorly electric vehicles were performing until I looked at the numbers presented in an... (E-CatWorld; December 3, 2012)
  • Defkalion - Hyperion
    • Fusion at home! (Original in Greek) - A device that will provide unlimited energy with minimal energy cost is the planetary dream. "The whole thing", explained to me Alexander Xanthoulis, "was to break the Coulomb Barrier. To do that we had three ways: One was to use high-power lasers, as in ITER's case, to reproduce the Sun's conditions. It is an expensive method with minimum outcome. The second way was to excite the two molecules to "overcome the mountain" and meet each other. This is what Rossi attempted, but he could not control the excited molecules. The third way was the one we found: to "make the mountain disappear" for a very short time." We succeeded by disguising protons in neutrons via stimulation of nickel in Rydberg form. In this form the trajectory of the electron is elongated elliptically, so that at its "perihelion" the system appears as a neutron and not as "the mountain in-between". Thereafter, we cause fusion by applying magnetic fields and pressure". (ToVima; December 2, 2012)

      • Greek team brings the energy revolution - The most "green" power generation technology will have everyone home in a small box that will produce unlimited energy with minimum cost. The even better news is that this technology is Greek. The bad news is that the Greek government does not consider it appropriate to support the effort of researchers, so the company that developed the technology to go and collect the good news in Canada! (Insomnia.gr; December 4, 2012)
      • A government that cares only for papers and leaves the wealth and technology to Greek immigrant flees - The Defkalion Green Techologies SA most definitely know it and will be posted that disappeared, I'll just write a little summary of what he wrote Tassos Kafantaris Sunday 11/02/2012 to science newspaper step.

  • Brillouin 
    • Inventor: Brillouin LENR Device will generate 355,000 times as much energy as Gasoline - Robert Godes the man behind Brillouin Energy's low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) process is making some very bold and interesting claims about his technology. The most dramatic of the claims is that his device can turn 1.024 milliliters of water into as much energy as is contained in 96 gallons of gasoline. Godes told the OilPrice blog that this equals 355,000 as much energy per volume as gasoline. (EnergyCatalyzer3; November 30, 2012)

    • An update sent to PESN.
      

      From: Nicolas Chauvin  To: Sterling Allan  Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2012 12:10 AM [GMT-7] Subject: Re: update on FMP Hi Sterling, [...] Here a brief status with MFMP: 1) We have currently 2 cells (reactors) under test, one in Minnesota and one the France 2) We have 3 new cells being assembled right now with a new and better design 3) We have made a bad decision with our initial design by changing the type of glass used compared to what Celani is using. We used fused quartz and he is using borosilicate. We recently changed this. Our European cell has the correct type of glass. 4) Using quart, made us discover a relation between the temperature measured outside our cell and the pressure inside This caused problems to compare results between calibration and when the cell was running with Celani's wire 5) So far, this issue prevented us from concluding anything about excess heat 6) However, we did replicate the first part of the experiment concerning the loading of H2 hydrogen into the wire. We did clearly measure an important drop of resistivity of Celani's constant wire when loading hydrogen into it. Constantan resistivity should vary more than 2% or 3% with variation of temperature, it is a very stable and constant material. We measured a change of resistivity up 25% at ambient temperature before and after loading the wire 7) We have almost finished calibration with our European cell, based on borosilicate (the correct glass type). 8) Our new design for the 3rd cell being assembled will be compatible with measurement in a calorimeter 9) We have regular calls and emails exchange with Celani 10) ST Microelectronics in Italy have confirmed 3rd party replication of Celani experiment. They will published a report on Dec 15th.  More update on MFMP can be found here: http://www.quantumheat.org/index.php/replicate/progress-blog  http://www.youtube.com/user/FleischmannMemorial  Details on the cell and the project: http://www.quantumheat.org/index.php/replicate/initial-replication-experiment  http://www.quantumheat.org/index.php/replicate/2012-10-05-17-13-39  Finally our live data reporting system (click on View button): http://data.hugnetlab.com/  And on going experiment logs: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AkyO8n6- 0MjNdGFMNnJuakhfeURXMGdObjRJNWdQVGc&output=html  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AkyO8n6- 0MjNdG85Wk05TWRLSHNjWFY0aGdXejBFVFE&output=html  Cheers, Nicolas

    • Celani Announces 3rd Party Replication - Francesco Celani has sent a letter to 22Passi.blogspot.com announcing a successful 3rd party replication of his LENR system, which apparently has been improved since he did the demonstration at NI Week in Texas earlier this year. A translation of his letter has been posted on the vortex-l and reads as follows: Dear Colleagues, as requested, I am attaching a... (E-CatWorld; December 5, 2012)
    • MFMP Team Questions Some Celani Conclusions - In a post on the Quantum Heat web site, the HUG team in Minnesota make some observations about the Celani cell that are causing them to question some of the measurements that Francesco Celani assumes to be excess heat.

    • Open-Source LENR Project Making Progress Posting Results - The big complaint leveled at many low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) researchers such as Andrea Rossi, Defakalion and Brillouin is that they don't reveal much of their research. Instead these developers make claims that are hard or impossible to prove. The same cannot be said of the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project an open sourced effort to replicate Francesco Celani's LENR reactor. (EnergyCatalyzer3; December 5, 2012)

    • NEW ENERGY IN SCHOOL contributions and surprises of Francesco Celani - Dr Francesco Celani has centered his speech at the conference all'IIS Pirelli.

    • Peter Lundin wrote by Skype: 
      Upcoming Cold Fusion Story - SvT, Swedish television, announced that the program Vetenskapens Värld, translated World of Science, will on the 17th of December take up the subject Cold fusion that some large energy companies believe could replace nuclear power plants. Some enthusiasts say its unlimited energy. Critics say it is a scam. And you see a small part of a video showing Andrea Rossi. This is very good news, I think because this TV program is very serious and well balanced.
    • Cold Fusion: Hoax, Dream… and the Future of Green Energy? - Cold fusion has fought an uphill battle since its first public debut in 1988. It has been ridiculed, "disproven," and like many other fascinating ideas it has been badly portrayed by a sub-par Keanu Reeves movie (Chain Reaction). The public has been fed a continuous stream of articles, interviews, and exposés decrying cold fusion in the name of mainstream physics. But increasingly, governments and militaries around the world (including ours), academic institutions like MIT and Purdue, and companies like Mitsubishi, Shell, and Total have been supporting cold fusion research with millions of dollars in funding.

      • The Corvallis Advocate and LENR - It seems that more and more magazines – both mainstream and peripheral – are publishing articles on LENR and cold fusion. (ECatReport; November 30, 2012)
    • Discover Magazine writes about Cold Fusion - Discover Magazine has posted an article about Cold Fusion, titled in part "Bring Back the Dream". This is a surprising development, since many online journals and magazines still steadfastly refuse to acknowledge the existence of cold fusion. Mark Anderson, author of the article written in October and published in the November issue of Discover, covers the Fleischman/Pons experiments of the late 1980s and the fallout afterward.
