Cold fusion is clearly composed of myriad forms that are seen on a continuum
from the room temperature wet reactions Fleischmann and Pons revealed, to
modestly to very hot dry reactions of many other researchers. Fleischmann made
it clear that his wet room temperature fusion rates were greatly
Hi Robin,
Your post makes me think that we would be facing a terrible crisis (in terms of
nuclear terrorism) if it turns out that Mills, Holmlid and now Glass are
accurate.
There could be a form of UHW – or “ultra heavy water” which is composed of
oxygen and dense deuterium so that the

Before I think.
Nine years ago I was on a walk organised by our Church and got chatting
to an elderly gentleman who I had not spoken to before. We got to
talking about LENR as I had just started getting involved. He told me
that during the second world war he was involved in developing
Bob,
OK but to restate the obvious, there is no possible resolution on these issues
based on the limited information we have now.
The neglected points that makes this earlier work by the Toronto team important
today are
1) Good evidence, if not proof, that deuterium will fuse using only
But Jones,
That's not what I said (I don't think). What I was trying to get at was:
Hot fusion = Almost *all* of the fusion energy is delivered in the form of
neutron kinetic energy + energetic gamma energy
Cold fusion = Almost *none* (lets say < 1E-6) of the fusion energy recorded
is
Bob,
Well, given that there are claims of small amounts of neutrons and gammas in
cold fusion by a number of reputable experiments, one cannot arbitrarily define
the reaction as being neutron-free or gamma free.

No, not humor. Lack of neutrons and gamma has been -a- defining difference
between hot fusion and cold fusion. In hot fusion the energy is taken away
by neutrons and gamma almost exclusively. In cold fusion, there are no
neutrons and gamma commensurate with heat production (or dead
Bob,
Did you mean that as humor?
It would be almost “pathological” to define cold fusion in such a way as to
exclude the known outputs of nuclear fusion in general.
In fact, in terms of the applied heat, palladium fusion at 2 volts has the
equivalent input temperature of 20,000°K per atom of
But, Jones,
Is it LENR if it produces neutrons and gamma?
