I wouldn't trust a 'new power source' until it's powering my home, OP.

Lets wait for public annoucement and then sell it worldwide.

Nobody believes this guy could actually have done it? The testresults are there and if I would have invented a new powersource I wouldnt want China or any other party to steal my idea so I would be reluctant to share the inner workings aswell

It's fun to imagine what it would/will be like, if/when energy will be almost free. Glorious. End of poverty, end of hunger, end of most wars.

Or is it?

Total Hoax

was tried in the late 70's IIRC and was found to be a scam

The fact of the matter is that a catalyst only works on chemical reactions (involving the electrons of an atom and the bonds they form), not nuclear (which deals with the nucleus, which in itself is only a fraction the size of the overall atom)

the only way to "catalyze" a nuclear reaction is by:
introducing a fast particle such as a neutron (although this in itself isn't really a catalyst as it doesn't speed up the original reaction, just initiates a different one which is faster, and it doesn't work for fusion)
or to change certain universal constants in the given area (mostly the constants regarding electrostatics for fusion, but this would introduce other nasty effects like electrons no longer being attracted to the nucleus and start to just fly everywhere), but we have currently have no idea how to do this

the guy is just a scam artist, taking money from fools who think they are buying into free energy

"Rossi's patent application received an unfavorable preliminary report on patentability,[14] citing serious deficiencies in both the description of the device and in the evidence provided to support its feasibility."

sniff.....sniff whats that smell? Smells like..sniff sniff. yep bullshit. It's the sweet scent of absolute bullshit. haven't smelled that lovely scent in quite some time. Thanks OP

There was a joke, what was the most disappointing thing at the Fleischmann–Pons Labratory?

That their lab assistants weren't dead.

>> No.2912246

>>2912219
lol

no radiation = no dead lab assistants = no fusion

>> No.2912248

He claims that the power is produced via fusion of nickel and hydrogen to form copper. However, huge amounts of gamma radiation would be released. No radiation was detected during the public presentation.

>> No.2912265

Its bullshit. 100% pure and utter bullshit. You don't go around with fucking smoke and mirrors and "closed tests". You take your research. You fucking patent it. Then you turn it over to real scientists who will determine if it does what it says. There needs to really be an anti-ignorance movement where the willingly stupid and intentionally malignant are expunged.

>> No.2912269

>>2912248
Wait, hes trying to make copper from nickel? and not helium from deuterium/tritium?

well that's more proof hes a fucking con-artist

we can barely get nuclei with a charge of +1 to fuse when we want them to, the repulsive forces involving NICKEL would be like 28x higher

that's why the only place reactions like this occur is in a particle accelerator (for the manufacture of radioactive nuclei for medical imaging), where the energy you get out is less then the energy required to actually required to make the reaction happen

So glad someone posted this.

His shit is a bunch of hokum. Won't let anyone look at the inside of his machine, or explain how it works. Even the patent office says his patent doesn't even show how it works, he basically summarizes what he claims to the public. He's full of shit.

>> No.2912287

Defkalion is clearly in on the scam. They pretend the use the devices "for their own purposes" to further legitimize them. Then they sell them. And they will draw out the scam as long as possible. They will only sell small wattage units and insist on "servicing" them monthly to make sure they are working properly.

>> No.2912371

Rossi claims to be fusing Ni-62/64 with H-1 to produce Cu-63/65. These isotopes of nickel are rare, so he must be producing them with a centrifuge.
