Cold Fusion Now

Trained as a librarian, he has documented the story of Andrea Rossi as he attempts to engineer a steam generator based on the unknown reaction between a host metal nickel and the light-hydrogen from water.

Sergei Tcvetkov has experimented extensively with LENR-based reactors using a titanium cathode with deuterium, measuring nuclear products and excess heat of several hundred watts thermal power.

Dr. Olafsson received his Ph.D. from Uppsala University and worked in hydrogen storage before his interest in LENR led him to Dr. Leif Holmlid's work in ultra-dense hydrogen.

Professor Alexandrov works in materials science and electronic devices and head of the Semiconductor Research Laboratory at Lakehead University. During experiments using palladium and deuterium, he discovered by accident that helium was being generated.  He speaks about the reproducible experiment that generates helium-3 and helium-4 as measured by mass spectroscopy.

Dr. Bannister discusses the strong historical correlation between energy inputs and economic outputs, and how breakthrough LENR technology could change our world. He also gives an update on campus activity and interest as we mark the 30th anniversary of the announcement of cold fusion by Drs. Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons, who was Chairman of Chemistry at University of Utah.

Yasuhiro Iwamura has developed a unique method of transmutations with his team at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and now also with Clean Planet. Thin-film layers of metals and oxides are doped with elements and exposed to a deuterium gas, transmuting the elements. Experiments using radioactive cesium may lead to a method of transmuting radioactive waste into benign material. Dr. Iwamura is also working with a second Metal Hydrogen Energy generator successfully replicating excess heat profiles of the first MHE at Kobe University.

30-years experience as an inventor of technology with applications in areas from distributed data collection to control systems. Brillouin Energy Corp.'s signature product is the Hydrogen Hot Tube HHT, which has had leaps in output power in recent months. After having its technology tested and evaluated by SRI International, two reports were issued with power output generally less than 10 Watts thermal excess. New 2019 tests of the reactor core with a fresh Q-pulse panel are showing 100+ Watts at just over 2x power output.

At Los Alamos National Laboratory his work involved basic research in the field of high temperature chemistry as applied to materials used in nuclear power and propulsion reactors, including studies of cold fusion since 1989. Experimental work included finding tritium generated from Fleischmann-Pons cells and discovering many properties of the reaction, such as high-loading is not necessary to generate or sustain a reaction. Dr. Storms is the author of The Science of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction, a survey of the experiments and theories of the field through 2007, and, The Explanation of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction, A Comprehensive Compilation of Evidence and Explanations about Cold Fusion, describing some of the main models of LENR, as well as a new idea based on hydrogen-filled nano-spaces as the nuclear active environment.

David Daggett received a PhD in Engineering from Cranfield University specializing in Power and Propulsion and worked for large corporations like Parker Aerospace and Boeing maturing ideas into working concepts focused on energy and environmental technologies. Now ready to bring science back to policy-making as a State Legislature candidate, he is focused on public issues such as healthcare and fairer taxes.

Recently retired and now consulting privately. After earning his Ph.D in chemistry from UC, Berkeley, and studying Electrochemistry as a post-doctoral at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Tanzella worked as a chemist at DuPont. Since 1986, he helped develop the low energy nuclear reactions (LENR) electrochemical and calorimetry program at SRI and hosted many other LENR researchers in attempts to reproduce and understand their processes and devices. Dr. Tanzella gives his account of the evaluation of the Brillouin HotTube, and how that relationship will continue despite the closing of SRI's LENR lab.

Dr. Pamela Mosier-Boss works on environmental sensors, detecting chemical toxins and bacteria. She spent over two-decades as a LENR experimentalist successfully using the co-deposition method to generate numerous nuclear effects. At the ICCF-21 conference, she and her colleagues proposed employing LENR-generated neutrons to fission uranium for a hybrid fusion-fission reactor design.

Dr. Dennis Cravens received his PhD from Florida State University and has been working on cold fusion since 1989. Dennis Cravens has demonstrated multiple live LENR systems throughout the years, and recently presented at the ICCF-21 conference with his associate Dennis Letts where they discussed their experiments generating excess heat of an average of 7 Watts thermal for durational periods.

Alan Goldwater received a Bachelor's degree in Physics from Columbia University and studied architecture and computer science before having a successful career in electronic design and embedded software. Alan will discuss his glow stick experiments and what live open science means for our future.

Dr. Michael McKubre spoke on the campus of Colorado State University at the 21st International Conference on Condensed Matter Nuclear Science ICCF-21 about The Fleischmann Pons Heat and Ancillary Effects: What Do We Know, and Why? How Might We Proceed?

Dr. Melvin Miles in 1990 discovered a relationship between the heat production in cold fusion cells with the production of helium, confirming the nuclear nature of the elusive reaction. He received a Bachelor's degree at Brigham Young University and a Ph.D at the University of Utah in Physical Chemistry, minoring in Physics. Following his degree, he was awarded a NATO fellowship to work as a postdoc for one year with Dr. Heinz Gerischer in Munich, Germany. Dr. Miles has just published a collection of Letters from Martin Fleischmann to Melvin Miles, documenting sixteen years of collaboration with Martin Fleischmann, who along with Stanley Pons, discovered the Anomalous Excess Heat Effect known as cold fusion.

Dr. Vysotskii's work in LENR is both theoretical and experimental, reporting the transmutation of elements within micro-organisms in a LENR environment. He is the author of many scientific books including, with Dr. Alla Kornilova, Nuclear Transmutation of Stable and Radioactive Isotopes in Biological Systems.

Mats Lewan, science and technology journalist, has Master of Science in Engineering Physics from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockhom and spent fifteen years working as technology reporter for the magazine Ny Teknik. Mats also attended the Innovation Journalism Program at Stanford University in California during which time reported for CBS-CNET News in San Francisco. Mats Lewan was one of the few journalists chronicling Andrea Rossi’s early public demonstrations of the Energy Catalyzer and authored the book An Impossible Invention about the experience.

Abd ul-Rahman Lomax attended the physics lectures of Richard Feynmann in 1961-1963, and then spent years in community organizing. In 2009, he challenged Wikipedia on their bias against cold fusion and since then, has been researching the cold fusion/LENR field. He has published on the heat and helium correlation in the 2015 special LENR issue of the journal Current Science and documented the Andrea Rossi-Industrial Heat lawsuits and court trial throughout the drama on his website.

David French provides LENR scientists with guidance on intellectual property and patents. A graduate of McMaster University in Engineering Physics and of the University of Toronto Law School, David French spent 35 years at private law firms and also working with the Canadian government on law reform and international patent issues.

Dr. Srinivasan co-edited the 2015 special LENR issue of Current Science journal and jump-started several LENR research groups now researching nickel and hydrogen systems to generate power and look for transmutations.
