Dr. Farber,
for IP if you wish --
this is not a ridiculous situation. For whatever reason, this press
release? blog post? doesn't emphasize that this method of fusion DOES
NOT produce more energy than is put into it.
As usual, Wikipedia has a useful entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyroelectric_fusion
To quote,
"""
Like muon-catalyzed fusion, the process does not appear to be able to
generate net power, but may have other uses.
"""
So, yes, believe it! And it *is* cool. It's just not as useful as it
could be.
--titus
p.s. When a scientific announcement from UCLA is confirmed by a team
from RPI -- both very reputable physics institutions -- it's a good bet
that the announcement is reliable!
