Re: Notes on ICCF12 from T. J. Dolan
Hi Steven, I'm quite optimistic. Though the best work appears to be happening under the radar. The smart people, unlike those who promote their companies and technologies through Web sites which I will not name, recognize the need to obtain irrefutable results and are working towards that end. They are painfully aware of both the paradigm-breaking nature of this science, and also aware of the threat to incumbent energy enterprises. More mainstream journals are starting to accept cf papers. Sooner or later a mainstream journal is going to do a major story on LENR transmutation. It's inevitable. The nice thing about the transmutation results, as pointed out by Iwamura, is that unlike heat, the evidence is not transient. So it's easy to validate. I asked Dave Nagel's perspective relative to the promise of cold fusion this last week. He replied with a quote from some other military leader whose name I don't remember, who said. "I'm very good at predicting what things will happen in the future. But I'm not so good at predicting when they will happen." I'm going to release something now that partially illuminates where some of my optimism comes from. I will eventually name the source, but not now. He said, just about a year ago, "Have no doubt. We are going to win this war, after losing every battle." It's a most interesting and stunning quote, certainly. For now though, I have nothing more to say about it. The cake is still baking. From my view, the public really doesn't give a damn about the injustices to good science, to good scientists and to research which will inevitably provide for a benefit for all humanity. The general public, predominately, wants results -- but does not want to pay for them. Fortunately, a few wise, wealthy people have better vision than most of the public and are positioning themselves strategically in support of this research, and in doing so, will grace mankind with the tools and energy to continue civilization. Once that happens, it will be up to the social scientists, policy-makers and NGOs to see that the new source of energy is used wisely and appropriately. s At 08:12 AM 12/8/2005, you wrote: This post is primarily directed to both Jed, Steven Krivit, Jed, in the past you have lamented the fact that you feared CF research may be dieing a slow death, particularly due to what you have perceived is a lack of necessary infusion of young scientists into this risky & controversial field.

Biefeld-Brown Effect by Carl Frederick Krafft (Electrogravitation & Antigravity
I have listed a few quotes below explaining the basic principles of electrogravitatoin, antigravity, and how flying saucers may work, as quoted from the publication entitled the Biefeld-Brown Effect by Carl Frederick Krafft (Electrogravitation & Antigravity Principles). "This phenonmon consists of the tendency of a charged electric condenser to move in the direction of the positive pole, despite the principle of action and reaction. In an electric condenser, just as in a hydrogen atom, there is a direct flow of the ether from the positive charge to the negative charge. Since the ether is incompressible, its streamlines cannot come to abrupt ends within the charges. The positive charge must therefore take the ether in from the surroundings. This will necessarily diminish the external ether pressure on the positive side and increase it on the negative side. (Biefeld-Brown Effect by Carl Frederick Krafft Pg 1)" "If we adopt the modern view that the force of gravity is due to a pressure gradient in the ether, then such a difference of ether pressure on the two sides of a condenser should force the entire condenser in the direction of the side that carries the positive charge, exactly as has been observed experimentally. A charged condenser should therefore weigh more when its positive side faced down than when it faces up. (Reprinted from Round Robin, Vol. XII No. 3, Sept-Oct 1957) (Biefeld-Brown Effect by Carl Frederick Krafft (Pg 1))" "Electrogravitation effects and coupling as discovered by Townsend Brown do not obey the known principles of electromagnetism. (Biefeld-Brown Effect by Carl Frederick Krafft Pg 2)" "For each electromagnetic phenomenon there exists an electrogravitation analogue. The triangular relationship between Electricity, Magnetism, and Gravity ElectricityGravitationElectricityMagnatismMagnatism Gravitation (Biefeld-Brown Effect by Carl Frederick Krafft (Pg 2))" ElectricityGravitation "The antigravity effect of vertical thrust is demonstrated by balancing a condenser on a beam balance and then charging it. After charging it, if the positive pole is pointed upward, the condenser moves up. If the charge is reversed and the positive pole pointed downward, the condenser thrusts down.1. The separation of the plates of the condenser, the closer the plates the greater the effect2. The ability of the material between the plates to store electrical energy in the form of elastic stress. A measure of this ability is called the K of the material. The higher the K, the Biefield Brown Effect. 3. The area of the plates the greater area giving the greater effect4. The voltage difference between the plates, more voltage more effect5. The mass of the material between the plates the greater the mass the greater the effect. (Biefeld-Brown Effect by Carl Frederick Krafft (Pg 3))" "Electrogravatic Force C M (E A/d) or MC where c = capacitance in Farads. The Earth creates and is surrounded with a gravitational field which approaches zero as we go far into space. This field presses objects and people to the Earth's surface; hence it presses a saucer object to the Earth. However through the utilization of the Biefield-Brown Effect, the flying saucer can generate an electrogravitational field of its own which modifies the Earth's field. This field acts like a wave with the negative pole at the top of the wave and the positive pole at the bottom, the saucer travels like a surfboard on the incline of the wave that is kept continually moving by the saucer's electrogravatic generator. (Biefeld-Brown Effect by Carl Frederick Krafft (Pg 4))" "Since the orientation of the field can be controlled the saucer can thus travel on its own continuously generated wave in any desired angle or direction of flight. Since the saucer always moves toward its positive pole, the control of the saucer is accomplished by varying the orientation of the positive charge. Control is therefore gained by switching charges rather than by control surfaces. The method of controlling the flight of the saucer is illustrated by the following simple diagrams showing the charge variations necessary to accomplish all directions of flight: - saucer + + saucer - + - forward -> <- reverse saucer saucer - + UP ^ Down + - + +- Saucer + - saucer+ +saucer- + saucer - - + - +forward up forward down reverse up reverse down Since the saucer is traveling on the incline of a continuing moving wave which it generates to modify the Earth's gravitational field no mechanical propulsion is necessary. The saucers edge would contain a number of conductor segments, and the saucer would turn in any direction simply by shifting the positive and negative charges to

Notes from the 12th International Conference on
Condensed Matter Nuclear Sciences
November 27 December 2, 2005, Yokohama
T. J. Dolan
The following brief summary refers to only some
of the 60 papers presented at the conference.
Experiments
Yasuhiro Iwamura (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries)
presented more data on transmutations of Cs to
Pm, Ba to Sm, and Sr to Mo, using a variety of
diagnostic techniques, including a detailed
surface mapping using a synchrotron microbeam
(100 x 100 micrometers). They found that the
transmutations occurred in small concentrated
sites on the surface. Afterward I asked him what
labs have reproduced some of his transmutations,
and he said Osaka University, Shizuoka
University, Francesco Celani (Italy), and NRL (in progress).
A. Kitamura (Kobe University) coated films on the
vacuum side of the Pd foil (Iwamura coated the
gas side) and reported transmutation of Sr into Mo.
Irina Savvatimova (Luch Institute, Moscow)
reported transmutation of Ba into Sm.
A. El-Boher (Energetics Technologies, Israel)
used "superwave" modulation of the current in
electrolysis cells to increase yield. He achieved
600% excess heat for 24 hours, and 150% for 134
hours. Irving Dardik (a physician) developed the
superwave technique with regard to curing human
illnesses, and it is found to have applications in several fields.
Vittorio Violante (ENEA, Italy) used a HeNe laser
to enhance excess power generation during electrochemical loading.
Yoshiaki Arata (Osaka University) observed
intense heat generation during ingress of
deuterium into a thin cylinder containing Pd nanoparticles.
Alexander Karabut ("Luch" laboratory, Russia)
observed excess heat generation and
transmutations during deuterium glow discharges,
but not during Kr or Xe discharges. Using spark
mass spectrometry, SIMS, and secondary neutral
mass spectrometry they identified the emergence
of many impurities, including abnormal isotope
ratios for several elements. They also observed
emission of gamma rays and x-rays.
Andrei Lipson and George Miley (Lebedev
Institute, Moscow, and University of Illinois)
reported emissions of energetic protons and alpha
particles during controlled exothermic deuterium
desorption from the surface of a Pd/PdO:Dx
heterostructure. Using CR-39 detectors they
found 1-3 MeV proton tracks and 11-16 MeV alpha
tracks, with a yield about 0.005 alphas/cm2-s,
reproducible during about 20 experiments. They
also reported data indicating superconductivity in Pd hydride and deuteride.
Francesco Celani (Frascati, Italy) told how they
coated Pd wires with Pd-silicate to produce
fractal nanostructures and enhance deuterium loading.
Vladimir Vysotskii (Kiev) and Alla Kornilova
(Moscow) reported that Mn-55 was transmuted into
Fe-57 in a solution of MnSO4 in heavy water plus
nutrients and microbes, and the yield after 30
days was about 10-6. In light water no Fe-57 was
produced. They have published a book on this topic.
Experiments at Iwate University were not yet
successful. During the discussion I pointed out
that oxides of calcium, strontium, and barium are
used in commercial vacuum tube cathodes, and that
great care must be taken in vacuum tube
manufacture to avoid impurities like oil, which
can poison their thermal emissivity. Experiments
that attempt to emulate the transmutation data of
Iwamura may fail if they do not bake out the
sample in a very clean high vacuum system.
Mike McKubre (SRI) presented new data to clarify
the relationship between the electrical
resistance ratio R/Ro of Pd and the fractional
loading of deuterium near N(d)/N(Pd) ~ 1.
Jean-Francois Fauvarque (Laboratoire
dElectrochemis Industrielle, France) reported
reproducible heat generation during electrolysis
with a tungsten cathode. At 350 V the output
energy was 1.3 to 1.4 times the input energy.
Tadahiko Mizuno (Hokkaido University) described
an electrolysis experiment in which the cathode
overheated and exploded. After 300 J electrical
input, the output heat plus explosion energy
totaled about 0.24 MJ. Analysis of the tungsten
cathode revealed deposits of Ca, S, and other
elements, but no residual radioactivity.
There is a new collaboration between Italy and
Japan (Takahashi, Celani, Iwamura) to try to
transmute radioactive isotopes such as Cs-137 and
Sr-90 into stable isotopes, which could have
application for remediation of radioactive
wastes. I. Goryachev (Kurchatov Institute) is
also studying the possibility of waste remediation.
Jean-Paul Biberian (Marseille, France) heated a
clean Pd foil to 500 C, cooled and sanded it,
heated again to 500 C, and coated it with Zn, Pb,
or Li. When the coated foil was immersed in
deuterium gas it loaded quickly and generated excess heat.
Steve Krivit (New Energy Times) and Vladimir
Vysotskii (Kiev) told of experiments by A.
Koldomasov (Russia), Hyunik Yang (Hy-En Research
Co.) and others in

Re: Notes on ICCF12 from T. J. Dolan
Andrei Lipson and George Miley (University of Illinois) showed that the walls of high-power tokamaks like ITER could be damaged by low energy nuclear reactions induced by implanted deuterium and tritium. Isn't that an ironic hoot...? ITER ($10 billion) will possibly fail because of irresponsible disregard of LENR reactions... which BTW would likely be in commercial use (LENR) by now - had a tenth of that enormous cost for hot fusion - been substituted over the last decade.
