RE: [Vo]:DARPA Nanotech Project - $34 million investigating cold fusion and excess heat was found
Excellent find Akira!! Very interesting how they completely avoided the usual terms, CF or LENR, in describing it... probably to avoid the exact thing that happened to Hagelstein. Anyone who dismisses the overwhelming evidence now is either ignorant, or pathologically skeptical, or part of the misinformation campaign... Wonder if the work of this DARPA program could be used to beat into submission the skeptics on Wikipedia...

It appears that DARPA is spending $34 million to research LENR (among other things) in a project on nanoscale materials, although they don't directly state so. They managed to generate excess heat for 2.5 days. Follow this link for more details: http://nextbigfuture.com/2012/07/darpa-nanotech-projects-nanoscale.html What's interesting is the involvement with the Italian Department of Energy. Note this accomplishment for year 2011: - Continued quantification of material parameters that control degree of increase in excess heat generation and life expectancy of power cells in collaboration with the Italian Department of Energy. Established ability to extend active heat generation time from minutes to 2.5 days for pressure-activated power cells.. And what is planned for 2012: - Establish scalability and scaling parameters in excess heat generation processes in collaboration with the Italian Department of Energy.

Cheers, S.A.

Hmm ... $35M is a trickle from Darpa ... but how many billion butterfly's tears does that represent?

Not only that, but it's been going down each year... 2011 2012 2013 16.74511.6505.500 (in millions of $) But, they may have more efforts buried under different program headings...this budget is 336 pages. -mark -Original Message- From: Alan J Fletcher [mailto:a...@well.com] Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2012 12:59 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: RE: [Vo]:DARPA Nanotech Project - $34 million investigating cold fusion and excess heat was found Hmm ... $35M is a trickle from Darpa ... but how many billion butterfly's tears does that represent?

We should speak very quietly. DARPA are our folks. Somehow, doing whatever they do, however they do it, they brought us the Internet. I don't want to get them into trouble. It's fun to highlight some line items in the paragraph that was quoted: - developing devices and structures to enable controllable photonic devices at multiple wavelengths - engineering palladium microstructures with large deuterium loadings to study absorption thermodynamics and effects - enabling real-time detection as well as analysis of signals and molecules and origin of emergent behavior in correlated electron devices - developing stabilization and scale-up methods to fabricate high pressure crystal structures at low pressures. Maybe the line items are related, or maybe they are not. Eric
