NASA Acknowledges What They Said Was Impossible - Cold Fusion Works

The implications of this are quite staggering.  Billions of dollars have been put into the long search for nuclear fusion at incredibly high temperatures.  Now science leaders are admitting what they denied for decades, that simply mixing certain chemicals at room temperature releases more energy than goes into the experiment.  So the world energy problems are all solved now, right?   Probably not.  Only if it pleases those who hold power.

A revolutionary development in Energy production which was discovered years ago is now reality. Cold Fusion, as it was once called, is now believed to be a major source of Energy for the future. The discovery and development of this new technology which is called Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) is the product of many years of research originally conducted by Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons.
NASA just released on January 12^th 2012 a video that describes how LENR works and the practical benefits. The video is now in the process of being seen globally with theintelhub.com being one of the first to bring this information to the public – even NASA has not officially publicized this discovery.

Method for Enhancement of Surface Plasmon Polaritons to Initiate & Sustain LENR
The video is from the NASA Langley Research Center video on LENR, (Low Energy Nuclear Reactions) featuring NASA senior research scientist Joseph Zawodny. The original video is titled: Method for Enhancement of Surface Plasmon Polaritons to Initiate & Sustain LENR in MHS and is available at the NASA Technology Gateway site.

A simple explanation of LENR from Wikipedia describes the technology as;

“Cold fusion, also called low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR), is a type of relatively low temperature nuclear reaction reported to have occurred by some experimenters, but which others have not been able to reproduce. Both the experimental results and the hypothesis are disputed. The ideas gained attention after the reports of Martin Fleischmann, then one of the world’s leadingelectrochemists,^[1] and Stanley Pons in 1989 that they had produced anomalous heat (“excess heat”) of a magnitude they asserted would defy explanation except in terms of nuclear processes.”

Many articles are online including the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency report on cold fusion: Technology Forecast: Worldwide Research on Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions Increasing and Gaining Acceptance DIA-08-0911-003, 13 November 2009, and the CBS 60 Minutes reports on cold fusion on April 19, 2009.

The 60 Minutes investigator said;

“And we found that the pentagon is saying it too. The Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, known as DARPA did its own analysis, and we obtain this internal memo that concludes there is, quote ‘… no doubt that anomalous excess heat is produced in these experiments.’”  And, “Now the pentagon is funding more experiments at the Naval research lab in Washington D.C., and at McKubre’s lab in California.”

SPECIAL ADDENDUM:
 Ahough this current research into LENR – Cold Fusion appears to be conclusive, it should be noted that this information being released by NASA at this time may reveal a covert reason for doing so – namely, to discredit Steven Jones’ integrity and degrade his research into 9/11 – call it a Conspiracy Theory.
Further, it is not our intent to highlight Steven Jones involvement in Cold Fusion other than to make readers of theintelhub.com aware of this historical fact.
Accordingly, the Wikipedia article on Cold Fusion states:

 In 1988, Fleischmann and Pons applied to the United States Department of Energy for funding towards a larger series of experiments. Up to this point they had been funding their experiments using a small device built with $100,000 out-of-pocket.^[32]
The grant proposal was turned over for peer review, and one of the reviewers was Steven E. Jones of Brigham Young University.^[32] Jones had worked for some time on muon-catalyzed fusion, a known method of inducing nuclear fusion without high temperatures, and had written an article on the topic entitled “Cold nuclear fusion” that had been published in Scientific American in July 1987.
Fleischmann and Pons and co-workers met with Jones and co-workers on occasion in Utah to share research and techniques. During this time, Fleischmann and Pons described their experiments as generating considerable “excess energy”, in the sense that it could not be explained by chemical reactions alone.^[31] They felt that such a discovery could bear significant commercial value and would be entitled to patent protection. Jones, however, was measuring neutron flux, which was not of commercial interest.^[32] In order to avoid problems in the future, the teams appeared to agree to simultaneously publish their results, although their accounts of their March 6 meeting differ.^[33]

  It’s interesting to note the chain of events surrounding the initial reaction to Cold Fusion.

 

On May 1, 1989, the American Physical Society held a session on cold fusion in Baltimore, including many reports of experiments that failed to produce evidence of cold fusion. At the end of the session, eight of the nine leading speakers stated that they considered the initial Fleischmann and Pons claim dead with the ninth, Johann Rafelski, abstaining.^[6] Steven E. Koonin of Caltech called the Utah report a result of “the incompetence and delusion of Pons and Fleischmann” which was met with a standing ovation.^[55] Douglas R. O. Morrison, a physicist representing CERN, was the first to call the episode an example of pathological science.^[6][56]
On May 4, due to all this new criticism, the meetings with various representatives from Washington were cancelled.^[57]
From May 8 only the A&M tritium results kept cold fusion afloat.^[58]
In July and November 1989, Nature published papers critical of cold fusion claims.^[59][60] Negative results were also published in several other scientific journals including Science, Physical Review Letters, and Physical Review C (nuclear physics).^{[notes 2]}
Interestingly enough there is a more recent update to the Wikipedia article:
In April 2011 Dennis M. Bushnell, Chief scientist at NASA Langley Research Center, stated that LENR is a very “interesting and promising” new technology that is likely to advance “fairly rapidly.” ^[111] In a recent presentation researchers fromNASA Glenn Research Center expressed a great potential for LENR.^{[112][113][114]}
