Cold fusion just happened, reportedly

"The Rossi one megawatt Energy Catalyzer test has started and reports 470 kW maintained continuously during self-sustained operation with customer satisfied"

Assuming this is just the beginning, and cold fusion is really here...

Discuss.


Here's some more info/sources on it:

Amount of fuel required to run a 1 MW plant for 180 days:

Grams/Power for a 180 days charge
Hydrogen: 18000 g
Nickel: 10000 g

Sorry that hes not giving you the fucking schematics for something that would make him billions.

He is a futurism cultist. Anything which promises to satisfy his desire for a nerdtopia is automatically legitimate science.

If he won't give us the power to build our own instead of going through him, then any hope for cold fusion to change the world is lost.

Regardless of what he tries, eventually we will end up with the information needed to make one ourselves.

And that's even assuming the mysterious buyer isn't in league with him.

Also, this is not how science works. Hence, not science. Sage.

Yup, Science.

Yes, that is exactly what science is. When you make a discovery you publish a paper explaining it in detail so that everyone can reproduce your result.

You can take your piece of shit engineer attitude and shove it up your ass.

>> No.3966730

>>3966670
This isn't a theory, just simply showing that it produces X amount of power by putting in X amount of materials is enough for someone to buy it.

And that exactly what happened. You don't need to know every step taken for something like this.

Exactly. Every other contract this man was involved in just crashed and burned. He must have found a good shill this time.

This guy's alleged fusion process happens to make the element copper as a product, but by some miracle the isotopic profile of that copper matches what's in the natural environment. Obviously that means he salted the samples with natural copper to con the testers.
