Possibly The Most Important Science Breakthrough Happened Today

1 MW E-Cat Cold Fusion Device Test Successful

Today is set to be the start of a new era of cheap power, as a new type of low-cost nuclear reactor goes live in front of an audience of scientists and media representatives in Bologna. Once the mystery customer who commissioned the device has confirmed that it really is producing one megawatt, they'll pay the developer, Andrea Rossi.

How about a slightly more authoritative source? Especially when most scientists view cold fusion as junk science.

ha bologna, sounds like something else

 

[papajohn56]

calling bullshit

^^^^This dude is going to steal the plans

You should watch the BBC documentary 'Can we make a star on earth?', hosted by Brian Cox, a particle physicist. He visits a bunch of different facilities working on fusion via different methods.

The most interesting to me was the Z machine, it actually does produce a surplus of energy via fusion, the problem being it can only be fired once, and then some major components have to be replaced\reloaded for it to fire again amongst a host of other technical difficulties. Nevertheless they have achieved fusion.

It's hardly junk science!

Sorry didn't realise you were talking about cold fusion. I'm an idiot.

"Screw publishing in Nature. People will pay much more attention to our research if we post it on that website we designed in 1983."

I was going to say - wut?

Dan Quinn's Stevia powered "COLD FISSION" > anything discovered.

See how ripped his body is playa?

Rossi and Focardi's joint work was rejected by a peer-reviewed scientific journal, and appeared in Rossi's self-published blog, Journal of Nuclear Physics.

I don't know if this guy is a fraud or not, but naming your blog "Journal of Nuclear Physics" is a big red flag.

Yeah, that's kinda what I was driving at

I dunno, I hope I'm wrong but will reserve judgement until I see it published in a respectable scientific publication like the Daily Mail.

 

[mattseh]

lol cold fusion lol

 

[Hammi]

an AP reporter will be publishing an article on this latest experiment in a few days.

There are rumors going around that the big buyer is the US military. It might be a hoax, but there is a possibility its for real.

Man some of you guys need to grow up

I lol'd. +1

EDIT: must spread some reputation around.

You think oil companies will allow shit like this to take off? Keep dreaming.

 

[SGAJohnSheppard]

Nice, I just hope we can benefit from it all of us and soon rather then later.

 

[kingfish]

cold fusion yeah right
I'll believe it once several peer reviewed studies confirm it
