Low Energy Nuclear Reaction And The History Of Electricity

| April 3, 2012 | 2 Comments

The history of electricity begins with William Gilbert in 1600. He was a British physician who served Queen Elizabeth I of England and published his treatise entitled On Magnet or De Magneticisique Corposibus. The book was printed in Latin and explained the writer’s research on magnetism and electricity.  Before this, what was known about electricity was that lodestones have magnetic properties and that rubbing amber and jet stone together attract some bits of unidentified materials that produce sticking. Gilbert was the one who made other inventors interested in electricity and magnetism. Other Europeans inventors soon made their research with Otto von Guericke, Charles Francois Du Fay, and Stephen Gray later expanding the knowledge about electricity.

In 1745, Pieter van Musschenbroek and Ewald Christian von Kleist invented the Leyden jar. This was a device that can store and release electrical charge. This original capacitor gave von Kleist a powerful shock that knocked him down when he touched it. Ben Franklin later discovered that electricity and lightning were the same and his invention of a lightning rod was recorded as the first practical application of electricity. Other important inventors continued the research on electricity and magnetism and today, it is unimaginable to have a world without electricity.

It should be noted that this invention was met with a lot of skepticism in the beginning. The current state of the Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) research draws a lot of parallels with the beginnings of the research into electricity.  And it was the efforts of a small group of inventors whose dedication lead to the advancement of electricity. These pioneers were described as eccentrics and ambitious. And each of them worked hard independently or together to bring us the comfort of using electricity in our modern world. In fact, modern civilization may not have existed if it were it not for their persistence and dedication.  These scientific trailblazers have continued to improve the world that we live in. And Italian inventor Andrea Rossi, with his work on the Low Energy Nuclear Reaction technology, may join this list of ambitious innovators who have made a big difference in our world.

The technological progress that we have witnessed in the last few centuries has been incredible. Our world has been transformed from a primitive technological status into a technologically advanced state in a relatively short period of time. The question is are we at our technological peak or are we still going to experience greater advances in technology.   With the scheduled commercialization of the Low Energy Nuclear Reaction powered Rossi E-Cat for domestic use we might still be seeing more of these breakthrough inventions.  As it is, in the field of LENR, we are still at the threshold of a new technology that may alter our way of lives. The scientific and engineering community is just starting to be interested in the LENR research. And like the evolution of electricity, the Low Energy Nuclear Reaction research may yet develop into a technology that will give tremendous benefits to the world.

    One of the greatest American Travesties was when Fleischman and Pons were discredited and ridiculed. WHY?? Ridiculed for merely studying the anomalous production of elements. -Appearing in experiments going back almost a hundred years? It stunk then. It stinks now. No appologies and NO remuneration for their destroyed careers.

    The long and the short of it is that the U.S. Department of Energy was AFRAID.
    1 AFRAID of a zipper device. A device that could be initiated by table-top fusion at one end and progress into some form of Bikini type H-Bomb at the other.
    2 Couple that with FEAR of someone using this competing understanding of nuclear science and applying it to nuclear weapons.
    3 Next came the TOKAMAK. An enormous money pit. It just made sense for scientists in a multibillion dollar program to ridicule a stovetop one away. Of course it did. It’s just co-incidental that Billions were spent on plasma fusion since that time. Tokamak has fueled many sports cars!

    Fleishman and Pons were hero’s. Hero’s with an energy source right at the tail end of the Gas crisis. They were silenced by the machine. Never trust the machine – not ever.

    Yes the understanding of science will lend itself to weapons. But LENR reactions appear to be self limiting. Once again. Too much heat drives the atoms apart and shuts the process down. A very safe and tidy fact. NO H-BOMB. No ZIPPER DEVICE. And no ticker-tape parades as these men should have received.

    There is a God and he must be discouraged with us by now. Imagine LENR boilers powering rail transport of our commodities virtually for free. Eventually someone will figure out how to make a LENR “fuel cell” like device that moves electrons so we can power motors. But only if we continue to study, instead of suppressing these Century Old producers of anomalous elements.

      there were reason for F&P to be discredited, mostly their fault.
      They make big claims in public before checking with colleagues. This was not appreciated, and vengeance is a cold meal.

      They did not tell the long and complex process and failures around their experiments… so many people failed

      they (like most scientist today) advance with one theory much too early… this a a current disease.

      the results is that many people were suspecting them, of the very hidden and frequent case of fraud and bad behavior.
      sine the open-mind testers did no succeed in reproducing the mechanism, that current sciences put theory first and proved that the false theory of F&P was incoherent with QM, they concluded that they frauded.
      sine fraud is hidden and very frequent in science, it was easily accepted that all replicators were fraudsters too… and since it was interesting for their theoretical beliefs, and their budgets, and that a change would kill their respectability, they keep believing in the official thesis.
      since everybody talking of cold fusion was suspected crazy and fraudsters, nobody except crazy tried to replicate the experiments. and the few not too crazy, were assumed to be crazy now…
      See Celani … he was an open-mind skeptic, then succeed, and get heretic.
      See Rossi and Scilipoti, they were heretic, and badly smelling, since long, what could they lose… so they try and they are winning.
      Defkalion and “LENR Cars SARL” are not so controvertial, but they are just engineers accepting the facts they see, far from the Churches of Science.

      I have made an article on that theory, based on the work of Roland Benabou
      http://www.lenrforum.eu/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=40
      every month there are new proof of that theory.
