@Everyone:
The following quote is from the same article I posted highlights from yesterday.  One highlight that I also wanted to emphasize is the following:

"...Godes says that if the reaction is done properly, the nickel or palladium which are only used as a matrix to hold the hydrogen in one place, are not consumed in the reaction."

Notice that Godes is claiming that NO NICKEL IS CONSUMED in the reaction!  This is another feature of his system (besides the better control and boiler built in) that clearly puts him miles in front of the competition as far as performance and versatility are concerned (not to mention the ability to produce high temperature dry steam for the purpose of driving a modern steam turbine).

Here's the links to quadrium I promised:

"Hydrogen - 3
Hydrogen - 3 is also known as tritium that contains 1 proton and 2 neutrons in the nucleus. It is also written as 3H and sometimes symbolically referred as 'T'. This is one of the radioactive isotopes of hydrogen that decays into helium -3 through βâˆ' decay and has a half-life of 12.32 years. It was commonly used as a radiolabel in chemical and biological experiments. It is also used as a thermonuclear fusion weapon and a tracer in isotope geochemistry.

Hydrogen - 4
Hydrogen 4 or 4H is one of the most unstable isotopes of hydrogen. It contains 1 proton and 3 neutrons in the nucleus. It does not occur naturally and is synthesized by bombardment of tritium and fast-moving deuterium nuclei. It is also called quadrium."

"There have also been other isotopes of hydrogen created in the laboratory. These are extremely unstable and have a half life of less than a zeptosecond. These are known as 4H (quadrium), 4.1H (muonic helium), 5H, 6H, 7H. 7H was the last isotope of hydrogen to be discovered and was first synthesized by a group of international students at RIKEN’s RI Beam Science Laboratory in 2003."

QuoteNotice that Godes is claiming that NO NICKEL IS CONSUMED in the reaction!

It sounds too good to be true.  So no cold fusion is taking place?  Are we back to the tired old argument of energy from nothingness?  At least when you argue cold fusion you have an energy source - atomic energy.

QuoteIt does not occur naturally and is synthesized by bombardment of tritium and fast-moving deuterium nuclei.

So one wonders how they make the leap from producing quadrium in a particle accelerator that lasts for a zeptosceond, (One of the Marx Brothers?) to apparently producing it a cylindrical chamber where it stays around long enough to react and do something useful?

It also sounds too good to be true.

Like I said before, you have to take a step back when you hear of these fantastical propositions.  Let's see a demo running 30 days straight producing dry steam that powers a generator that powers a 20-kilowatt dummy load consisting of a bunch of oven heating elements cordoned off in a cage.

The bottom line about quadrium is that it's too short-lived to be of any consequence in modern nuclear research.  This is my best guess, I am not an expert.  It is an isotope that is so obscure that it's is nothing more than a curiosity and they can't do anything useful with it.  The only thing that they can do is infer that it exists by looking at the decay products.  That's why I have never heard of it.

It's going to be fun to see how this ends up.  "World saved" or a bunch of red faces.

@Everyone:
Those who have not been able to read or are purposely trying to mislead the public (take your pick) have been stating that Brillouin's technology is cold fusion or LENR.  It is neither and this was specifically cited in a previously article which I posted a link to previously.

Now to set the record straight, here is an excerpt to the previous information released by Brillouin:

"Robert says that "cold fusion" definitely is not an accurate name for it, and neither is LENR. It does not involved conventional nuclear fission or hot nuclear fusion processes. He has renamed the process Controlled Electron Capture Reactions or CECR, or "phonon-moderated hydrogen reactions.""

Here's a link:

It seems that disinformation has been designed to dishearten and dissuade the public but this has been a VERY transparent and clumsy attempt.  But then again, this comes from a source that has already tried to slight well known scientific terms in the past (qaudrium for example) so this latest disinformation attempt should come as no suprise.

Stop making a fool of yourself by trying to pretend that I don't exist while still responding to the issues that I am raising.  Don't you dare try to imply that I am a "disinformation agent" and stop playing out your Spy vs. Spy fantasies.  Stop making yourself look like a "free energy Moonie" and just be a real person.  Can you handle that or is that just too real for you?

I would not give the Pesn web site any credibility for anything.  That's just the nature of the beast and in case you haven't noticed that has been and is the general consensus for a long time now.  Do you remember what Sterling's bahaviour was like during the Mylow fiasco?

When any alleged new technology comes along it has to prove itself in the real world.  That's my central point and there isn't a single argument that you can throw at me that will detract from that point.

Scientists have been studying nuclear reactions in earnest for 70 years and when some unknown company comes along and says this:

Quote"A tiny amount of hydrogen protons are converted into neutrons. These newly produced neutrons are soon captured by hydrogen ions or other atoms in a metallic (e.g. nickel) lattice near to where the hydrogen ions were converted to neutrons. The captured neutrons generate heat because the new atoms that are one neutron heavier shed excess binding energy as heat to the lattice, resulting in a dramatically clean, low-cost, hi-quality heat output."

Then you have to put your brain in gear and say, "That is really different and I am suspicious of it.  I know that Blacklight Power has burned through 400 million dollars over the past 20 years and they have produced nothing.  It's possible that Blacklight is an elaborate con or are there are a bunch of PhD's burning through cash and doing research that is headed nowhere just to justify their paychecks?  Is it possible that this radically new proposition is just another Blacklight Power type of operation or are they possibly real?  I don't know the answer to that so I am going to hold judgement until they really deliver something."

That's the read deal, it's called doing your due diligence and there is nothing wrong with that.  How many times have people been burned in the free energy field?  How is your Romero replication coming along?  How much time and how much money did you spend on it?  Did you ever see definitive proof that it works?  The answer to that question is "no," you didn't ever see definitive proof that it works.

Just stop trying to make a sales pitch to the readers here that I am trying to push an agenda of disinformation.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Show some real character and show that you can think.

QuoteBut then again, this comes from a source that has already tried to slight well known scientific terms in the past (qaudrium for example) so this latest disinformation attempt should come as no suprise.

That's a joke and you look like a clown when you state that.

@Everyone:
It appears that Rossi realizes how important it is for him to refine his technology in order
to produce high temperature steam.  After all, it is only with high temperature steam that
his units will be able to produce efficient generation of electricity. 

Here is the latest article on Rossi's latest breakthrough:

"Two recent posts by Andrea Rossi on the Journal of Nuclear Physics speak of a considerable breakthrough that he seems very excited about. We know that Rossi has been in search of high temperature steam in order to create efficient electricity. He has said for a while now that instability in his reactor has prevented him from achieving this goal, although he has mentioned progress has been made.

Now he is speaking of a breakthrough in this area. Here are his posts:

Dear Fabio:
Thank you for your kind attention.

You are right: some puppett is trying to stop our work saying we cannot go on selling a producte that is not well known. Note: first they said my product was bullshit, now they have to change channel and try to raise the safety problem. But , as we always said, our product will hit the non military market only after due certification; besides, we know very well our product and how it works, so it is wrong to say we do not know how the E-Cat works.

About the market: you are right again, People will vote with their money and decide if the E-Cat works or not.

By the way: we are working very hard on the temperatures, and we have reached a tremendous goal in the last week. We are making a test which endures since a week, that could make a revolution in the revolution. It will go ahead for a month.  For now, just working.

Dear Dr Joseph Fine:
I agree. It’s Saturday, but today and tomorrow we will work 24 hours a day on the reactor we have made here in the USA: we have stabilized it at very high temperatures…and when I say very high I mean it. We understood the reason of the instability, so now the work is going on hard.

It is interesting to note the change in tactics his adversaries have switched to.  Their
first tactic was to try to discredit Rossi and call his technology fraudulent and phony. 
Now they are acknowledging that his products IN FACT do work, however, they are now trying to portray them as unsafe.  I guess when the fraud smear campaign failed miserably and didn't stick, their only tactic left was to attempt to raise safety issues.

With UL approval, he will overcome this latest attempt to block his products from entering
the public market place (as he's already reached the market in the military sector) and
begin to compete against petroleum based fuels. 

Once this occurs, the road will already be paved for other exotic technologies to also enter
the market place to compete with the oil cartels.  This will definitely ruin their plans to
build their pipeline from Canada to the U.S. as it will no longer be necessary with cheaper
and cleaner energy available.
