Andrea Rossi (born 3 June 1950) is an Italian entrepreneur who claimed to have invented a cold fusion device. [1] [2] [3]In the 1970s, Rossi claimed to have invented a process to convert organic waste into petroleum, and in 1978 he founded a company named Petroldragon to implement waste processing technology.
Martin Fleischmann FRS (29 March 1927 – 3 August 2012) was a British chemist who worked in electrochemistry. [3] [4] The premature announcement of his cold fusion research with Stanley Pons, [5] regarding excess heat in heavy water, caused a media sensation and elicited skepticism and criticism from many in the scientific community.
The cover of Mallove's Fire from Ice: Searching for the Truth Behind the Cold Fusion Furor (1999). Eugene Franklin Mallove (June 9, 1947 – May 14, 2004) was an American scientist, science writer, editor, and publisher of Infinite Energy magazine, and founder of the nonprofit organization New Energy Foundation.
Cold fusion is a hypothesized type of nuclear reaction that would occur at, or near, room temperature. It would contrast starkly with the "hot" fusion that is known ...
The Energy Catalyzer (also called E-Cat) is a claimed cold fusion reactor [1] [2] devised by inventor Andrea Rossi [3] with support from the late physicist Sergio Focardi. [4] [5] An Italian patent, which received a formal but not a technical examination, describes the apparatus as a "process and equipment to obtain exothermal reactions, in particular from nickel and hydrogen". [6]
Two panels convened by the US Department of Energy, one in 1989 and a second in 2004, did not recommend a dedicated federal program for cold fusion research. [16] In 2007, Nature reported that the American Chemical Society would host an invited symposium on cold fusion and low energy nuclear reactions at their national meeting for the first ...
[1] [2] Devices allegedly suppressed include perpetual motion machines, cold fusion generators, torus-based generators, reverse-engineered extraterrestrial technology, anti-gravity propulsion systems, and other generally unproven or physically impossible, low-cost energy sources. [2] [3] [4] [5]
Bobby Stanley Pons (born August 23, 1943) is an American electrochemist known for his work with Martin Fleischmann on cold fusion in the 1980s and 1990s. [3] Early life
