Attempt to measure gamma 'cold fusion' signature

Post by RobBryant » 24 Sep 2024, 05:25

At the moment Europe is funding limited cold fusion research.
quite a few nuclear scientists at the September LENR meeting in Switzerland
The link is to an attempt to find one
It's a hard listen! Professor Kasagi from Japan did this work 5 yrs ago and could find no signature

there are a few other interesting recent presentations on the solidstatefusion website

Having messed around with fusion experiments and followed the research ideas for almost 20 years, the only thing that has changed in recent years is the amount of funding that has been thrown at fusion. When I first got interested in fusion there were a handful of crackpots around the world building fusors and a few Universities with small experimental tokamaks. Recently governments and a few not so smart Billionaires are throwing their money at fusion and every other physicist has come up with an MCNP simulation claiming a breakthrough. Great, it works on the computer screen, but have they ever attempted to build a vacuum chamber, or wired up a 100 kV power supply or tried to confine a plasma?
Needless to say I am cynical, are these efforts driven by a real interest in fusion or is it just a stream of people lining up for money ?
Time will show...
