At NASA Langley Research Center, we’re not just working on innovative solutions for today. We’re also looking ahead at the technical challenges we’ll all face in the future. The purpose of the Center Innovation Fund is to stimulate and encourage creativity and innovation within the NASA Centers in addressing the technology needs of NASA and the nation. Funds are distributed to each NASA Center to support emerging technologies and creative initiatives that leverage Center talent and capabilities.

I wish they give up the term ‘Cold Fusion’ to describe the effect. LENR avoids Coulomb issues. In new theories/experiments hydrogen acts as neutrons. Godes/Brilliouin uses electronic pulses to promote proton-electron capture reaction. Pulses change protons in metal to neutrons. Blacklight Power/Randall Mills lowers hydrogens energy state, smearing proton-electron charges, causing hydrogen to act as neutrons. LeClair/Nanospire use high velocity water cavitation making high density neutron flux.

Hey .. Mr NASA-Butt-wipe .. its popular name in the media is “cold fusion”, and its despicable of you to pick up on this work without even giving any credit to Pons and Fleischmann.Its sort of like finding a guy in the street who has been mugged and left for dead, and since he’s not going to put up a fight, you pick his pockets .. you sir, are disgusting.

Christopher Columbus “discovered” America, however he thought he had reached India. That was his original hope, and since he had reached a tropical land, “what else could it be”? He was wrong. You can have good data and a bad theory.

Unfortunately they have to make it boring. They made a more exciting one two years ago, and they got attacked by the scientific community, most of the attacks were at the people who are doing it, and claiming its impossible never actually offering science to back up claims. So this time they made it as simple and boring as possible.

Nasa manages to make a video admitting the reality of cold fusion, its value for human space flight, and the global economy, a little bit boring!
They describe the idea of neutron synthesis correctly, but they haven’t figured out the H, D, T, 4H, 4He path. They don’t explain how the energy localization for neutron synthesis happens. (Heisenberg confinement)

DO YOU BUY NEW TECHNOLIGIES ?

Rossi has spoken about the genesis for his Ecat ideas, and he gives full credit to Pons and Fleischmann, without them, few would have though to investigate further.

Randell Mills actually was 1st and began his work in 1991, 2 years after Pons and Fleischmann’s 1989 experiments which triggered his ideas. There is a good chance Rossi “borrowed” Dr.Mill’s experiments with nickel that were showing excess heat and tried to attach a more acceptable and conventional theory to it, along with more showmanship and therefore publicity, than what Dr.Mills was proposing.

HaHa, Nasa had to get on the bandwagon. Too many independent labs were validating what we should have had 20-50 years ago. Nasa (Never A Straight Answer) until your caught lying about it. Now they wanna release these videos like this is new found knowledge or something….I wonder what else they have lied about? They gonna release that information as well after one of “us” figures that out? You guys suck….

There are several other companies racing to bring the technology to market:
Defkalion (stole Rossi’s technology and improved on aspects of it)
Brillouin (competing theory with Widom Larsen called Quantum Fusion)
Black Light Power (a different branch of the technology)

Thanks Joseph, for your courage and perseverance . Nasa needs a new propulsion technology, this is timely.

I cannot see how J Zawodny can back pedal after this video now unless they take it off of you tube and deny it’s existence?
I think we are going to hear a lot more about why the P&F experiments, and further replication got buried so quickly in the coming years.

Without Pons and Fleischmann’s ground breaking 1989 experiments there would be no Widom Larson theory, yet supporters of W-L theory say it is not related to “cold Fusion” as ascribed to Pons and Fleischmann. They, (P&F), did not coin the phrase or even like it.
My point being that Pons and Fleischmann were grossly wronged, as this technology progresses it becomes harder and harder to ignore the injustices heaped upon the true discoverers. Pons and Fleischmann deserve recognition!

You are correct, they are trying to copy Rossi’s E-Cat, but that is OK, because Rossi got his ideas from Pons and Fleischmann, 1989 experiments.

NASA is trying to copy ECAT. Wish them luck!
