Is Cold Fusion Finally Being Accepted by Scientists?

Longstanding political pressures has stopped LENR cold fusion technology from even being researched, but now CNBC reports that may be changing.

In the world of conspiracy on conspiracy that everyone knows is true is the decades of political pressure exerted to shun research into LENR (low energy nuclear reaction) technology – known as cold fusion.

Even recently I reported on an MIT scientist who has had an LENR device running for months, outputting 14 times the input energy, only to have his project’s funding cut after making his research public.

MIT Device Outputs 14 Times Input Power, Faces Funding Cut
An MIT professor is being threatened with funding cuts for his LENR device that has been outputting excess heat 14 times the input power since January.

An MIT Professor has released a three-part video series about a device that has been running since January which generates 14 times greater energy, in the form of excess heat, than the input electrical input energy.

While the technology has tremendous potential to revolutionize the energy industry the video series goes on to reveal in part 3 that another prominent MIT physicist is pushing to get his research funding cut.

From Video description:

See http://theatomunexplored.com/?page_id=74 for source of this presentations, and for additional presentations.

Dr. Peter Hagelstein of MIT discusses cold fusion/LENR research and the experimental data of the cold fusion device of his fellow MIT graduate Dr. Mitchell Swartz. This device, the NANOR, is currently being demonstrated at MIT and has been running for several months now.

This video is part 1 of 3. See part 3 for Dr. Hagelstein’s discussion of efforts by a prominent MIT physicist to have funding for further experiments cancelled.

Cryptogon reports:

At the recent “Atom Unexplored” conference in Torino Italy, Dr. Peter Hagelstein of MIT gave a presentation about some of his work in the field of low energy nuclear reaction research, concentrating on the work of his colleague Dr. Mitchell Swartz. Swartz has invented a palladium-based device he names a NANOR. When an electric current is passed through the palladium, excess energy in the form of heat is produced which, according to Hagelstein, is over 14 times the input energy.

In this talk, Hagelstein says that this NANOR has been running at MIT since January, and it has continued to produce excess heat far beyond anything that could be accounted for by a chemical reaction. Hagelstein says that the public is invited to take a look at the device in action.

As we have come to expect these days, there has been very little reporting of this development outside a few blogs on the Internet. It would be interesting if some of Hagelstein’s peers at MIT would take a look at the NANOR and make some comments — or even if some outside experts could pay a visit.

Now CNBC is running an article claiming the technology is may now be gaining traction as a legitimate technology to research:

Is Cold Fusion Finally Being Accepted by Scientists?

The promise of discovering a clean, green, safe, and (due to the fact that it is fueled by the most abundant metal and gas on the planet, nickel and hydrogen) cheap renewable energy source is causing many investors and scientists to overcome their previous reluctance and enter the field.
However, Pons and Fleishman could not consistently reproduce their results, and this led to the rejection of cold fusion, the discrediting of the two scientists by the general scientific community.

Cold fusion became a complete dead end. Two different Department of Energy panels dismissed cold fusion theories and recommended against creating a program to study it. No one would risk putting major funding into any research projects, and no reputable scientists were willing to risk their reputations by pursuing a science that many considered equal to alchemy.

However, following recent LENR demonstrations at reputable institutions such as MIT, the University of Missouri, and the University of Bologna, as well as presentations by the world’s largest instrument companies, National Instruments , a report by the European Commission’s research and development center that suggests LENR has its place in the future of renewable energy, and most impressively of all, the fact that NASA is interested and reportedly filed two LENR patents last year; serious companies are now considering the possibilities of LENR and investing in certain research projects. There are rumors that Boeing is working with NASA to test LENR powered aircraft.

The promise of discovering a clean, green, safe, and (due to the fact that it is fueled by the most abundant metal and gas on the planet, nickel and hydrogen) cheap renewable energy source is causing many investors and scientists to overcome their previous reluctance and enter the field.

I am not saying that the companies such as Boeing of National Instruments, or agencies such as NASA, the US Navy, or the DOE will publicly admit to spending large amounts on cold fusion research. In fact the Navy had to shut down its LENR research in California after a news report attracted unwanted public attention.

So is it really becoming acceptable?

If I where a betting man, I would bet this is a hit piece to raise attention to the fact that these entities are researching the technology to get the research shutdown.

After all, the CNBC article was republished from OilPrice.net.

So ‘Is Cold Fusion Finally Being Accepted by Scientists’? or is this a brilliant hit piece to get some the funding cut for those researching the technology?
