The IAP course on cold fusion co-taught by Drs. Peter Hagelstein and Mitchell Swartz is scheduled to run again in 2014 for a third year in a row.
Cold Fusion 101: Introduction to Excess Power in Fleischmann-Pons Experiments will be held on campus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) January 27-January 31 at 10:30AM-1:30PM in Room 4-145. The class is sponsored by the MIT Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department where Hagelstein is a faculty member.
In 2012, the course was well-attended and featured a JET Energy, Inc demonstration of the NANOR, a nano-material, two-terminal component that generates excess energy gain using a dry, pre-loaded hydrogen fuel. Open to the public for viewing, the NANOR ran for months in Hagelstein’s office. Massachusetts State Senator Bruce Tarr visited the campus to witness the event, and is now a supporter of the pioneer technology.
Cold Fusion Now’s Jeremy Rys attended the course in 2013 and videod the lectures throughout the week. Problems with the audio feed were lessened with a second Enhanced Audio edit by uploadJ. Watch the 2013 background and theory lectures by Peter Hagelsteinhere, and see the experimental and technology talks by Mitchell Swartz of JET Energy, Inc. here.

Currently, humanity has reached a stage of development at which the struggle for energy resources is particularly important, because all the known sources of energy in the near future will not be able to provide our needs. Chemical energy, in addition, is limited on account of the so-called greenhouse effect. Nuclear energy is based on the use of fissile materials, and is not a solution, because the stock of these materials is limited. The initial optimistic expectation of the transition to the process of controlled nuclear fusion has not yet materialized. Technical difficulties in obtaining sustainable superhot plasma and the damaging effects of the enormous neutron flux arising as a result of fusion reactions back down the solution to this problem on a more distant and uncertain future.
Recently there was the belief that the problem of controlled nuclear fusion could be solved in a completely different way. It has been shown experimentally that the cross-barrier synthetic processes depend greatly on the physical state of the matter that reactive atoms are placed in. Distance convergence of two deuterium nuclei through the mechanism of the Rydberg crystal cell in metals occurs by an order of magnitude smaller than the size of a free atom of deuterium. Coulomb barrier permeability in this DD fusion process increases greatly (by the 50–60 orders of magnitude) as compared with a permeability barrier to free molecules of deuterium. In this recent work, we discuss the possibility of detecting the “cold” DD fusion process experimentally by detecting low-energy electrons resulting from the fusion reaction of two deuterons in palladium crystals with very small (thermal) excitation energies of the intermediate compound nucleus 4He*. This process is made possible by the exchange of the excited compound nucleus with electrons of the crystal lattice that results from virtual photons.
It happens historically that the process of DD cold fusion was studied in more detail than other, similar processes. In this regard, we have restricted ourselves to this particular process. Presented below is a summary report of the situation that has now developed, in a cold DD fusion.
Accelerator experiments have shown that the value of screening potential for the impurity atoms in metallic crystals reaches up to 300 eV or even more. This means that, during DD reaction occurring in the medium of the metal crystal, impurity atoms are excited, and deuterium has not circular but elliptical electron orbits, which are oriented relative to each other a certain crystallographic manner. In this case, the nuclei of these atoms can approach each other by a distance substantially less than the size of the unexcited atom, yet still without Coulomb repulsion. Such processes are known in the art and are the cause of chemical catalysis. The processes were first quantitatively described by Johannes Rydberg in 1888.
Thus:
1. The existence of the phenomenon of cold fusion is now conclusively proved by experiments, including experiments on low-energy accelerators.
2. The observed absence of nuclear products for cold fusion can be explained by the decay of a compound nucleus 4He* slowing through nuclear channels as its excitation decreases in energy. The release of energy in this connection is mediated by virtual photons.
3. Prejudice of many nuclear experts to the phenomenon of cold fusion is due to the unusual nature of the nuclear process, in which cold fusion forms an intermediate compound nucleus 4He* in a metastable state.
4. The accumulated empirical rules of nuclear physics seem indisputable to the nuclear community, while the range of their application is merely limited.

Interest in the new generation of breakthrough energy technology is broadening with a surge of participation from young inventors and engineers, artists and writers, coalescing around a core network of promoters in Holland and led by partners Madeline Vilar and Jeroen van Straaten.
With the Global Breakthrough Energy Movement, the duo conjured-up a meeting in Boulder, Colorado with technologists, artists, musicians, philosophers, historians, archeologists, healers, financial advisers, inventors, and engineers from all over globe to talk about the new energy solutions on the horizon that offer a renaissance in human civilization.
The need for transformation, on every level of human existence, begins with energy, and the Global Breakthrough Energy Movement is bringing to light radical new energy generators based on post-modern physics of plasma, magnets, and zero point energy (ZPE).
Who ya gonna believe? Me, or your own eyes?
—Chico Marx
Thursday night’s panel of speakers from that day included Catherine Austin Fitts and Thomas Valone.Talks by some of the leading breakthrough energy scientists spoke to crowds who filled the space to capacity. The momentum for change was powerful. A diverse group formed congruent brainwaves towards a new energy technology that will free humans from a centralized and controlled energy source.
“I think we had about 450 people attending,” said Jeroen. “The response to the conference was overwhelming positive, I know we are on the right way in our vision and it will be bigger and bigger, playing a huge role in waking up people about these technologies.”
Originally to be held at the University of Colorado Boulder, last minute demands from the university for money and attendance guarantees forced the event off-campus to a local hotel. Tents took over the parking lot of the Days Inn operated by owner Darek Zurek, who is sympathetic to the cause.
Co-hosted by Conscious Media Network and Gaiam TV‘s Regina Meredith and Searle Magnetiscs Jason Verbelli, the event was livestreamed at http://new.livestream.com/accounts/5708490. Evening panels were moderated by Mitchell Rabin and Sacha Stone. Both tents held lectures all day, and both programs were videotaped.
Most video from Tent 1 is available and includes lectures by Ruby Carat, David Niebauer, Moray B. King, Dan Winter, Jason Matozzo, Tom Valone, Catherine Austin Fitts, David Martin, Fernando Vossa, Michael Riversong, Steven Ross, James Martinez, Michael Tellinger, Garret Moddel, Mitchell Rabin, and Foster Gamble.
Tent 2 had lectures by Ulf Dahlstrom, New Energy Movement co-founder Joel Garbon, Pure Energy Systems Network Sterling Allan, Mike Upstone, NanoSpire’s Mark LeClair joining Moray B. King, Mark Dansie, Daniel and Erica Nunez, Randy Powell, Mark Brasche, Russ Gries, Richard Dolan, Jamie Janover, Goa Lobaugh, Josh Toms, James Schmidt, and Sam Mason. See Full Program for more.
The Art Tent hosted a collection of paintings, sculpture, prints, and fabrics, steeped in sacred geometry, and future vision. With ancient technology as a ground and breakthrough generators as the figure, musician-writer-archeologist Michael Tellinger put forth a powerful thesis for a lost technology of energy generated from sound, linking ancient South African stone ruins with early Babylonian myth.
