“LENR: The Promise of clean and affordable Energy” at University of Northern Iowa

Electrical engineer Thomas A. Wind spoke at the University of Northern Iowa March 10, 2014 presenting LENR The Promise of clean and affordable Energy.

Frank Acland of E-Cat World attended the event. He wrote:

The event was held at the Center for Energy and Environmental Education (CEEE) at UNI, and sponsored by the Recycling and Reuse Technology Transfer Center. Catherine Zeman, Director of the Recycling and Reuse Technology Transfer Center and Pat Higby, Energy Education Outreach Coordinator made introductions at the lecture, and both expressed enthusiasm about hosting a lecture about ‘cold fusion.’

Tom said he became enamored with the subject of LENR after attending last summer’s ICCF-18 conference at the University of Missouri. He said that he was in awe meeting who he described some of the smartest people in the world there, and felt that this was a field of research that is very important. He mentioned talking to representative of Statoil, Norway’s giant oil company at ICCF, and Tom was surprised to hear that instead of having a negative take on LENR, his attitude was ‘this is great, we need this!’

Video of the hour-and-a-half lecture has been made available and is linked below.

What’s the biggest secret today?

That the world is on the verge of receiving a next-generation nuclear power technology that offers human civilization a clean, green technological future for all of Earth.

As media theorist Marshall McLuhan wrote, “The biggest secrets are kept by public incredulity.”

Oh the reward for opening your mind.

Watch these videos of the 2014 Cold Fusion/LANR Colloquium at MIT held Friday through Sunday, March 21-23, and get ahead of the meme about to break out viral: there is a new energy science that’s now forming into a technology, and it’s called cold fusion.

cf-lanr-bannerThe Cold Fusion / LANR Colloquium at MIT was organized by Mitchell Swartz and Gayle Verner of JET Energy and held on the campus of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) March 21-23, 2014 on the 25th anniversary of the announcement of the discovery. LANR stands for Lattice-assisted nuclear reactions, and researchers from several countries met to brief each other on their latest results on generating excess heat and transmutations.

[watch] Peter Hagelstein Landscapes in cold fusion research

wake for cold fusion at MIT PFC MIT Professor Peter Hagelstein remembers the Wake for Cold Fusion held on June 26, 1989 at 4PM by the Plasma Fusion Center for the “death and demise” of the field.

“What’s your guys opinion about the Wake business?” he grins.

“Premature!” “Woke up!” shouts the audience.

On the 2014 CF/LANR Colloquium presentations, Hagelstein says “This has been one of the strongest and most interesting conferences in the field. I’m stunned at what’s gone on here at this meeting.”

“This was well beyond my wildest dreams; this was an astonishingly strong meeting, but the field is hanging on by a thread.”

“The current situation with respect to the scientific progress in the field, given the abysmal status … of an incredibly small number of resources, the progress has been fantastic under the most adverse conditions imaginable.”

According to Hagelstein, the Sidney Kimmel Institute of Nuclear Renaissance at the University of Missouri is the one “glimmer of light on the radar screen”. SKINR has full funding for staff and resources over a multi-year period.

On the closing day of the Colloquium, Hagelstein expressed thanks and appreciation to the scientists who’ve stayed in the field all these 25 years, and in an emotional tribute, honors the friends they’ve lost along the way.

Peter Hagelstein on the Fleischmann-Pons Experiment


SeriousScience.org has posted a video of Dr. Peter Hagelstein of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discussing the Pons & Fleischmann Experiment and its implications for nuclear physics.

Hagelstein will be conducting an IAP course Cold Fusion 101 on the MIT campus beginning January 27-31 with collaborator Dr. Mitchell Swartz of JET Energy, developer of the NANOR technology. More information here.

From the original article (transcript):

What was the main problem of nuclear physics for the last 25 years? How did the scientific community split into two broad camps? Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology Peter Hagelstein explains his view on the cold fusion experiments.

“Cold fusion started in March of 1989 with the announcement of the observational facts by Fleischmann and Pons. The claim was stunning. Energy of nuclear origin, a lot of it, in a test tube, palladium electrode, heavy water: simple current, and there you have it. If true — it’s a big deal. It’s unlocking source of clean nuclear energy. All you have to do is doing some electrochemistry, and you can get clean nuclear energy. That’s magic at that time I was interested surely in. What happened next was not much fun. People tried to replicate it, and more than a hundred laboratories reported negative results. People scratched their head and they thought about how the science could work. And came to the conclusion that based on a lots of physics, and nuclear physics there was no basis for the existence of such an effect.”

“I was interested in why it’s impossible, and the role of experiment in terms of trying to sort out what’s real and what’s not real. The basic issue is that in nuclear physics people have studied nuclear reactions for many years. If you make energy in a nuclear reaction, the energy is made and the energy is carried away. That’s a consequence of fundamental laws of conservation of energy in momentum on a microscopic scale. In Fleischmann and Pons experiment the thing that was amazing is energy was being produced was nuclear, but there was no energetic nuclear emission coming off. That’s hard to understand.”

“Now we have experiments confirming the basic effect, we have experiments showing that energy is produced, that the energetic reaction products aren’t there, and the question is what to do about it. Actually, we should be very interested in these experiments. We should be interested, because we have experimental results which by now have been confirmed a great number of times. We learned about nature from doing experiments. So, here are experimental results. Can we, should we pay attention to them? Follow them up, see, where they lead? Today, sadly, the experiments in the cold fusion business are nor considered to be part of science. And that’s the resolution that we have come to as the scientific community. From my perspective, having been in labs, having seen the results, having talked to experimentalists, having looked at the data, having spent great time on it, it looks like pretty much these experiments are real. They need to be taken seriously.”
