Cold-Fusion Comeback?

[Raui]

I was just browsing Digg when I found an article about cold fusion.

SALT LAKE CITY, March 23, 2009 — Researchers are reporting compelling new scientific evidence for the existence of low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR), the process once called "cold fusion" that may promise a new source of energy. One group of scientists, for instance, describes what it terms the first clear visual evidence that LENR devices can produce neutrons, subatomic particles that scientists view as tell-tale signs that nuclear reactions are occurring.

Perhaps there is hope yet?

Is "Superwave" shaming them into getting off their butts?

Nice find. Interesting in that article, though, that they STILL had to say "Other scientists could not replicate their find" when referring to Pons and Fleischman. This is not true. Only in the US was it not replicated.. In other countries, it was replicated as early as January, 1990... And over 120 times since!

So now they are acting like they re-discovered it all on their own LOL.

I wonder if this is really "CYA" in response to other recent LENR advances:

"Superwave" is a very interesting offshoot. The company "Energetics Technologies" in Israel led by the inventor Dr. Irving Dardik claims "COP>25" (which appears to be the best BTU heat output per amp input from any LENR system yet).

SuperWave™ Fusion

The Superwave concept is very interesting: Instead of the usual DC current for electrolysis, there is an AC carrier sine wave (but which i suspect is really biased off-ground), and the waveform riding on this carrier is sync'ed to increase/decrease BOTH the amplitude and the Frequency sweep simultaneously, locking these sweeps to the carrier's phase.. So as the carrier rises to Peak, so does the main waveform's max voltage, and max Frequency. They claim this gives it some some very interesting Quantum effects.

There is also a mention of using ultrasound in the mix somehow, which is not explained.

The water they use is "heavy" (enriched with extra Deuterium) and has Lithium salts in it (very nasty stuff, Lithium). Lol, i bet they don't count the energy needed to collect the heavy water in their COP estimate, though

The first thing i thought of when i saw this "superwave" technique is... Could this also be useful for a Meyer-like pulser system when used with Hydroxy?
