Actually, I not not a big fan of hot fusion and its supporters either.<BR/><BR/>Cold (room temperature) fission achieved a self-sustaining reaction on December 2, 1942 and was replicated around the world within months. Even by the standards of the time, the investment required was tiny.Rod Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652375336090790205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-43030196648493273612009-03-25T09:52:00.000-04:002009-03-25T09:52:00.000-04:00I didn't hear any disdane from NEInotes.

Also at the American Chemical Society Conference. Mizuno reported getting 100 Watts of extra heat for hours. An Italian researcher getting controllable extra heat and helium. Both building upon the Arata (one of the most respected scientists in Japan) carefully done extra heat work from last year. <BR/><BR/>Replicability, multiple sources, neutron detection, larger amounts of extra heat, more controllable. <BR/><BR/>It is at least worth studying and funding as a worthwhile phenomena. High temperature superconductivity does not have a good theory and some of its results are tough to reproduce consistently. String theory has sucked in researchers and pretty much produced squat but rooms of research papers. Big hot fusion projects have spent decades and billions and not gotten to positive energy.<BR/><BR/>What has been called cold fusion is a valid area of research at the very least, why should it be viewed with such disdane ? At the very least there are interesting things going on that should be understood and investigated.brian wanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07541279438184352860noreply@blogger.com
