Well, sure, gold would quickly be about as valuable as lead, and of course that means the biosphere just lost a key ingredient forever, but hey! If we could manufacture gold and produce it cheaply enough and in sufficient quantity (i.e. using an ordinary microwave oven), it would be fantastically u...

I quickly read through the PDF and didn't see this noted. Can you find the claimed before and after elemental/isotopic composition, and transcribe it here? I thought I remembered seeing it in the pdf, but it is not there, sorry. Looks like the best thing to do is to do a test and see how it comes o...

If this guy is convinced he is right, he should do a before and after check on his carbon with a mass spectrometer. He has provided some before and after spectrum analysis in the link to the pdf.

I think he have made some pytolytic graphite. Heh. You beat me to the punch line. I agree. I would be shocked and stunned if this were really fusing carbon...

Re: Cold fusion in your microwave in 10 minutes

Three videos about Carbon to Iron fusion performed in a simple test in the microwave oven Very interesting. I have always had a thing for using feedback control to do things like suppress and enhance particular harmonic modes in gas and plasma resonance chambers -- though you really need some good ...

What I just noticed was the "Full and Open Competition" statement. The last was Sole Sourse with a J&A. Maybe this IS something new. Sure. Anybody with a WB-6, a WB-7.1, all prior reports, and all previously discovered testing data, etc, which is all just sitting around taking up space in their gar...

The demonstration was held as part of a seven-day IAP ("Independent Activities Period") course at MIT.

Re: United States: State of the Union 2012, energy section

President Obama said, We can also spur energy innovation with new incentives. The differences in this chamber may be too deep right now to pass a comprehensive plan to fight climate change. But there's no reason why Congress shouldn't at least set a clean energy standard that creates a market for i...

The one little tidbit I'll offer is that they no longer leave their garage bay door open. Evidently some people were nosy! Other than that, I'll say it is really shiny. Since we have so little to go on with that, lets see if we can mine that for every scrap we can get... What is the antecedent for ...

It is like arguing that if you take a sandwich, and keep eating half of what you have in hand, and keep doing it twice as fast, you will never run out of food, or be hungry. Mathematically sound, but in the real world pure nonsense. A mathematician, a physicist and an engineer were asked to answer ...

Given the current mess, I am pretty sure that we can put the libertarian versus conservative stuff on the shelf until we can get the Left out of power in Washington. Please remember that we conservatives and the libertarians view the Alinskyite Left as rivals; they view us as the enemy, and act acc...

The 6.6m break even radius size would seem indicate that the building needed to house the reaction chamber would be aprox. 90 foot on a side minimum. What throws me a little is the scaling of his diagram on page 2. Does anyone know how big that object is? So for useful power we need a reaction cham...
