  • COLD NUCLEAR FUSION from Pons & Fleischmann to Rossi's E-Cat
    COLD NUCLEAR FUSION from Pons & Fleischmann to Rossi's E-Cat by Martin Bier Twenty-two years have passed since Pons and Fleischmann held their legendary press conference. Presumably, they had realized cold fusion. But it became a classic case of pride before the fall. A few months later, after the results appeared irreproducible, the American Physical Society and the authoritative journals declared it pseudoscience. Nevertheless, cold fusion never totally disappeared. Money has continued to be poured into it and researchers are still working on it. Recently, there has been commotion over an alleged "breakthrough" by Andrea Rossi with his E-Cat. But there are indications that Rossi's E-Cat is a sham. ! PONS EN FLEISCHMANN Martin Fleischmann (1927) was an accomplished British elektrochemist. He had been president of the International Society of Electrochemistry for two years. In 1986, he was allowed to join the Fellowship of the Royal Society. After 1983, he no longer had any teaching duties at the University of Southampton and started spending a lot of time doing research at the University of Utah. Stanley Pons (1943) was from Valdese, North Carolina. He interrupted his chemistry studies for eight years to help run the family business. But in 1975 he picked it up again and in 1978 he received his Ph.D. from the University of Southampton. In 1989, he was head of the chemistry department at the The front cover of Time on May 8, 1989.! University of Utah in Salt Like City. ! 1 The two scientists would have preferred to just publish their results in a scientific journal.

KERREBROCK Biographical Memoirs, VOLUME 78 PUBLISHED 2000 BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMY PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. JEROME CLARKE HUNSAKER August 26, 1886–September 10, 1984 BY JACK L. KERREBROCK HEN JEROME C. HUNSAKER died in September 1984 at the Wage of ninety-eight, his illustrious career had spanned the entire existence of the aerospace industry, from the very beginnings of aeronautics to exploration of the solar system. His colleagues had extended from the Wright Brothers to Charles Stark Draper, and included virtually all of the founders and leaders of aeronautics and astronautics. Be- ginning with important technical contributions, he soon turned his attention to creating and managing the new in- stitutions needed to deal with the growth of the aeronau- tics industry. By the early 1930s he was at the pinnacle of the aeronautics industry with leadership roles in academia, government, and industry. In recognition of these achieve- ments, in 1933 he was awarded the prestigious Guggenheim Medal, the fifth such recipient after Orville Wright, Ludwig Prandtl, Fredrick Lanchester, and Juan de la Cuerva. His career continued at this level for nearly three decades. Even after his retirement in 1951 as head of the Depart- ment of Aeronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, a department he founded in 1939, Hunsaker con- tinued as chairman of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) until 1956, a position he had held 95 96 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS since 1941. Recognized the world over for his contributions to aeronautics, Hunsaker was also well regarded in the larger society.

  • Mallove Fire from Ice.Pdf
    "Eugene Mallove has produced a sorely needed, accessible overview of the cold fusion muddle. By sweeping away stubbornly held preconceptions, he bares the truth implicit in a provocative variety of experiments." —Julian Schwinger Nobel Laureate in Physics "Mallove brings dramatically to life the human side of this important scientific controversy, which has tapped the emotions of its scientific participants in a way usually typical only of major scientific revolutions. Fire from Ice is highly recommended reading for anyone who is interested in the nature of scientific controversy and scientific change. I frankly could not put the book down once I had started it." —Dr. Frank Sulloway, former MacArthur Fellow Science historian, MIT Program in Science, Technology, and Society "Fire from Ice is a masterpiece of science documentation. Progress in deciphering the cold fusion effect is now stalemated by an establishment pressure for conformity. An authoritative book needed to be written, and it had to come from someone with roots in both the science and the journalism communities; there are very few people in the world as qualified as Eugene Mallove is to write it and give the story the meticulous attention it required." —Dr. Henry Kolm, cofounder of MIT's Francis Bitter National Magnet Laboratory The inside story of a scientific discovery that could have an enormous impact on the life of every reader... The Fleischmann and Pons cold fusion effect: A genie in a bottle that could rescue the world from its destructive dependency on fossil fuels, or a pipe dream advanced by brilliant, overzealous, and ultimately self- deluded scientists? And if cold fusion has been achieved, what explains the indifference, if not downright hostility throughout much of the scientific community and in the popular press? In Fire from Ice, Eugene Mallove answers these questions and many more.
