Mi lascia perplesso che tu voglia parlare di low energy nuclear reaction (LENR, o reazioni nucleari a bassa energia) e la chiami "cold fusion", un termine dato da alcuni giornalisti e da denigratori per screditare la ricerca scientifica in questo campo.

Sullo scandalo di Martin Fleischmann e Stanley Pons non ci sono dubbi, loro stessi hanno ammesso che si trattava di una bufala, sembrano invece molto interessanti gli studi recenti di Yoshiaki Arata, dallo Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center e da Marwan Chemie.

C'è stato recentemente un simposio a riguardo, al 239esimo meeting del National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS), a cui hanno partecipato:

• Michael McKubre, Ph.D., of SRI International in Menlo Park, Calif., provides an overview of cold fusion research. McKubre will discuss current knowledge in the field and explain why some doubts exist in the broader scientific community. He will also discuss recent experimental work performed at SRI. McKubre will focus on fusion, heat production and nuclear products. [3pm, Monday March 22, Cyril Magnin ]
• George Miley, Ph.D., reports on progress toward a new type of battery that works through a new cold fusion process and has a longer life than conventional batteries. The battery consists of a special type of electrolytic cell that operates at low temperature. The process involves purposely creating defects in the metal electrode of the cell. Miley is a professor at the University of Illinois in Urbana and director of its Fusion Studies Lab. [11am, Sunday March 21, Cyril Magnin I]
• Melvin Miles, Ph.D., describes development of the first inexpensive instrument for reliably identifying the hallmark of cold fusion reactions: Production of excess heat from tabletop fusion devices now in use. Current "calorimeters," devices that measure excess heat, tend to be too complicated and inefficient for reliable use. The new calorimeter could boost the quality of research and open the field to scores of new scientists in university, government, and private labs, Miles suggests. He is with Dixie State College in St. George, Utah. [2.30pm, Sunday March 21, Cyril Magnin I]
• Vladimir Vysotskii, Ph.D., presents surprising experimental evidence that bacteria can undergo a type of cold fusion process and could be used to dispose of nuclear waste. He will describe studies of nuclear transmutation — the transformation of one element into another — of stable and radioactive isotopes in biological systems. Vysotskii is a scientist with Kiev National Shevchenko University in Kiev, Ukraine. [11.20am, Monday March 22, Cyril Magnin I].
• Tadahiko Mizuno, Ph.D., discusses an unconventional cold fusion device that uses phenanthrene, a substance found in coal and oil, as a reactant. He reports on excess heat production and gamma radiation production from the device. "Overall heat production exceeded any conceivable chemical reaction by two orders of magnitude," Mizuno noted. He is with Hokkaido University in Japan, and wrote the book Nuclear Transmutation: The Reality of Cold Fusion. [3pm, Sunday March 21, Cyril Magnin I]
• Peter Hagelstein, Ph.D., describes new theoretical models to help explain excess heat production in cold fusion, one of the most controversial aspects of the field. He notes that in a nuclear reaction, one would expect that the energy produced would appear as kinetic energy in the products, but in the Fleischmann-Pons experiment there do not appear energetic particles in amounts consistent with the energy observed. His simple models help explain the observed energy changes, including the type and quantity of energy produced. Hagelstein is with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. [10.20am, Sunday March 21, Cyril Magnin I].
• Xing Zhong Li, Ph.D., presents research demonstrating that cold fusion can occur without the production of strong nuclear radiation. He is developing a cold fusion reactor that demonstrates this principle. Li is a scientist with Tsinghua University in Beijing, China. [9.10am, Sunday March 21, Cyril Magnin I].

Secondo me, per quello che dicono riguardo alla comunità scientifica non è una bufala.

giustissimo il tuo lungo discorso, soprattutto :Il concetto di "mondo giusto" fa letteralmente a cazzotti col concetto di profitto.

condivido.

però devi fare la distinzioni tra combustibili fossili (che una volta bruciati ci vuole migliaia di anni per riformarsi)
e fonti rinnovabili, sole, acqua, vento, geotermico, che sono INESAURIBILI (almeno fino a quando il sole non collassa)

la fusione fredda non "brucia" niente permanentemente, e consuma ACQUA.

non credo si ponga il problema di risorse finite/infinite nel caso della fusione fredda.

non capisco perchè bisognerebbe aspettare il cambio di sistema economico prima di implementare la fusione fredda, non sarebbe certo la soluzione finale, ma certamente un bel passo avanti nella direzione giusta. meno inquinamento, prezzi più bassi (fino a che non sarà gratuito).

anche riguardo alle materie plastiche ci sono validissime alternative RICICLABILI al 100% ...naturalmente x il profitto attuano l'obsolescenza programmata, ma in futuro un cellulare durerà 10 volte quelli attuali e sarà costruito in maniera e con materiali riciclabili e riutilizzabili.

giustissimo, non accontentiamoci, ma facciamolo ugualmente, è sempre maglio delle attuali fonti.

PS in quest'altro 3D abbiamo parlato un pò di fusione fredda e di E-Cat di Rossi, dispositivo già adesso in produzione.
Nucleare senza radioattività?
