Cold Fusion Prediction Markets — [HISTORY]
In April 1989, Robin Hanson created this prediction market: By 1/1/91 a <1 liter device will have generated over 1 watt of power output more than input from room-T fusion, including amortized power to create/separate components. I suppose that InTrade … Continue reading
Andrea Rossi’s cold fusion reactor (E-cat) — [LINKS]
I have posted about Andrea Rossi’s cold fusion reactor, which inputs nickel powder (with some catalysts) and hydrogen, and which outputs heat (factor 30) and copper. Since I have updated that post, I wanted to recommend you 2 interviews of … Continue reading

Energy Catalyzer (E-cat) = a cold fusion reactor that produces energy inputting hydrogen and nickel (and outputting copper) — [NEW TECH]
Andrea Rossi’s Energy Catalyzer @ Wikipedia –> It seems to work (the machine outputs 30 times the input). Andre Rossi says it is not “cold fusion” but rather low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR). Another scientist says here that cold fusion and … Continue reading
