This is fabulous news! Spread it around the WWW - as it could open up funding for many who are doing Rossi replications.
Dr Dennis Bushnell (chief scientist at NASA's Langley Research Center) has now gone public with NASA's upcoming Rossi replication attempt! We had heard rumors of this two weeks ago, and were hoping that it would not become some kind of 'black' project. Now it looks like a "go." Halleluiah! EVWORLD Update 4-28-11 "The Future of Energy" by Bill Moore Talking with Dennis Bushnell is both exhilarating and chilling, not to mention just a bit intimidating. The chief scientist at NASA's Langley Research Center, he seems to have his fingers in just about every aspect of both aeronautics and astronautics, with a special interest in energy sources of the future, both near-term (advanced solar PV) and far (drill geothermal and LENR). It was, in fact, a comment he made recently about Low Energy Nuclear Reaction that caused me to contact him and set up a telephone interview on Earth Day this year, which also fell on Good Friday, the day commemorating Jesus crucifixion and sacrifice for the sins of mankind. As I would realize deep into our discussion, there is a sobering synergy that links the two. Bushnell is no stranger to doing interviews, or giving talks, or writing papers. He is refreshingly candid in his views, which include the conviction that the planet crossed the peak oil summit sometime around 2008 or 2009. He is both upbeat about the promise of some exciting new technologies, while being less sanguine about the prospects of our amygdala-dominated culture. As you'll hear in the "Future In Motion" podcast available on the EV World.com web site, what I wanted to know was his view on which energy technologies held out the greatest hope for solving our looming energy crisis. He made no bones about the fact that the current rise in fuel prices is only the start. Surprisingly, LENR tops his list. You'll recall that we talked about this in Edition 11.15 two weeks ago, recounting the work of Rossi and Focardi in Bologna, Italy. Their device produces more heat energy than what's put into it. The question is why? Bushnell's NASA colleagues now think they know what is going on at the atomic level. They are about to attempt to replicate what the Italians have done. If LENR proves both predictable and reliable, it will, in Bushnell's words, change everything. >From the lead column by Bill Moore.
