The Cold Fusion Race Just Heated Up
17th February 2015
The Lugano Report details how, for the length of a 32-day continuous run, a 900-watt electrical input produced 2,800 watts of heat from the reactor. The 20-cm long E-Cat was run for an extended period to prove that the energy could not be produced by hidden batteries or other sources:
“The total net energy obtained during the 32 days run was about 1.5 MWh. This amount of energy is far more than can be obtained from any known chemical sources in the small reactor volume.”
Further, the isotopic composition of the nickel powder had changed:
“The isotope composition in Lithium and Nickel was found to agree with the natural composition before the run, while after the run it was found to have changed substantially. Nuclear reactions are therefore indicated to be present in the run process”.

Cold fusion has the distinction of appearing to work despite the fact that known physics says it’s impossible for a chemical reaction to cause a nuclear reaction. Until such time as that gap gets closed, consider cold fusion in the same way that you would a Philosopher’s Stone.
Not that scientists would take advantage of the gullible in order to make a buck (like global warming, nuclear winter, ozone hole, …)
