Mark Prelas Studies Neutron Production at MU
| October 30, 2012 | Posted by admin under Mark Prelas, University of Missouri - SKINR |
University of Missouri professor, Mark Prelas, has resurrected studies that he conducted in the early 1990s on neutron production in palladium loaded with deuterium. A local newspaper from Columbia, Missouri, reports that thanks to donations from Sidney Kimmel, and the establishment of the Sidney Kimmel Institute for Nuclear Rennaisance at MU, professor Prelas gets a… more
LENR Gaining Wider Coverage – Part II – Discover Magazine
| October 28, 2012 | Posted by admin under Dennis Bushnell, NASA, NASA - Zawodny, Widom-Larsen |
In the November 2012 issue of Discover Magazine, there is an article entitled Big Idea Bring Back the “Cold Fusion” Dream. The article very briefly reviews the history of cold fusion research, and notes that NASA and CERN have taken an interest. In the main, the article discusses Lewis Larsen’s ideas, and largely credits the Widom-Larsen… more
LENR Gaining Wider Coverage – Part I – Popular Science
| October 25, 2012 | Posted by admin under Andrea Rossi, Francesco Celani |
Recently, there has been several stories published on LENR in more mainstream outlets. The stories tend to broadly focus on Andrea Rossi’s E-cat, but also make mention of others working in the field. I plan to write a series of posts on these recent articles analyzing what stands out to me in the articles. Popular… more
Dennis Bushnell on LENR
| October 22, 2012 | Posted by admin under Dennis Bushnell, NASA |
Dr. Denis Bushnell of NASA’s Langley Research Center talks advanced technology for space exploration with American Antigravity. Starting at 8:22 and running for a couple of minutes, he talks about LENR and notes that NASA is spending $200 to $300K per year on this research. Of note, he mentions that they have been working with… more
Universal LENR Reactor – Fuel Rods
| October 21, 2012 | Posted by admin under Dale Basgall, Francesco Celani, Universal LENR Reactor |
Dale Basgall has released a presentation on the fuel rod design of the Universal LENR Reactor. ISOTAN44 or NITINOL wire are proposed as possibilities for initial experimentation. Mr. Basgall also notes that the reactor will accommodate powder formulations of metals that are sometimes used. He notes the wire may be easier for handling and reproducibility.… more
DGT Releases Third Party Results
| October 19, 2012 | Posted by admin under Defkalion |
Defkalion Green Technologies has released a preliminary report by one group of international testers on their website. The name of the group was blacked out in the report. Conclusions from the report were as follows: 1. Defkalion was able to demonstrate an excess of energy. 2. They were able to demonstrate that they canfully control… more
Building the Universal LENR Reactor
| October 14, 2012 | Posted by admin under Dale Basgall, Francesco Celani, Universal LENR Reactor |
Dale Basgall has released a presentation on building the core of the Universal LENR Reactor. He informs me that they have started the process of building a reactor in Maui and will detail the steps involved as it proceeds. This is an excellent presentation detailing components, dimensions, tools needed, materials, and prices. In my opinion,… more
Celani Replication – Wires Received
| October 14, 2012 | Posted by admin under Francesco Celani, Hunt Utilities Group, Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project |
The project to replicate Francesco Celani’s LENR reactor reported on the progress blog that they have received 3 meters of treated wire from Celani. This is very good news, and it seems the project continues to advance rapidly. The group has also frequently updated their progress blog, and it is impressive to see how much… more
Celani Responds to Critics
| October 14, 2012 | Posted by admin under Francesco Celani |
Critics of Francesco Celani’s reports at NIWeek and ICCF-17 have claimed that the loss in hydrogen pressure may be responsible for the observed excess heat in addition to other potential problems. Celani has released the results of 3 additional experiments addressing these claims, and has apparently ruled out these potential problems. He notes that there… more
Universal LENR Reactor – Electrical/Electronic System Final Part
| October 9, 2012 | Posted by admin under Dale Basgall, Universal LENR Reactor |
In the presentation below, Dale Basgall concludes his exposition of the electrical/electronic system of the Universal LENR Reactor. It is a truly impressive design utilizing nearly all, proven, off-the-shelf parts. Universal LENR Reactor – Electrical/Electronic System Final Part More PowerPoint presentations from Jack Cole more
Celani Replication Project
| October 6, 2012 | Posted by admin under Francesco Celani, Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project |
Thanks to e-catworld for pointing out the Celani Replication Project, which is part of the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project. I had previously been aware of these plans, but was unaware of how rapidly the group is progressing. From their progress blog, they detail the fact that they have built a test cell, and housed it… more

LENR with Zeolites
| October 1, 2012 | Posted by admin under George Miley - Lenuco, Iraj Parchamazad, Melvin Miles |
Ruby Carat of Cold Fusion Now conducted an interview with Iraj Parchamazad and Melvin Miles. Most of the interview is with Iraj Parchamazad, where he talks about his LENR research at the University of LaVerne, in LaVerne, California. Zeolites are said to have some unique properties including an intrinsic electric field, resonances, and cavities allowing… more
