NEWSCIENCENEWSCIENCENEWSCIENCE SUCCESSES WITH COLD FUSION & NEW-ENERGY EXPERIMENTS by Hal Fox © 1999 particle spin velocity. It was established in the introduction to this theory that a similar "sea of accelerated spin velocity" also exists around a magnet. So, placing a copper wire into this "sea of acceleration" will create the same effect. This is how an electrical generator works. So, to summarise the common terms used in electricity: Potential difference (volts) is the differ- ence in particle spin velocity between any two points on a conductor. A conductor is a medium through which particle spin acceleration may travel. Resistance (ohms) is the amount of spin acceleration lost during its travel through a conductor. Current (amps) is the amount of particle spin acceleration. A way of testing this theory against the "electron" theory would be to place a con- ductor in the field of an artificially manu- factured, radioactive substance. The result- ing amperage should be significantly greater than with permanent magnets. I trust this will assist readers’ curiosity about this theory. Should anyone have any further questions, I will be only too pleased to assist. Iam currently formulating a similar response on gravity, which was also promi- nent in the readers’ requests for further information. (Source: Samuel P.

This work is now being extended to the on-site stabilisation of high-level, radioac- tive, spent-fuel pellets by the Trenergy group. This work is being performed with private funds so that the intellectual proper- ty rights are preserved. Several patents are pending. 3. The newest work of Prof. Ruggero M. Santilli has shown that a special type of underwater arcing can produce a com- bustible gas from carbon-containing wastes (sewage and other types of contaminated water). This gas can be produced to pro- vide two-and-one-half times as much ener- gy output as energy input to create the gas. Patents are pending. The work is being supported and commercialised by Toups Technology Licensing, Inc. of Florida. 4. Dr Randell Mills has shown that ener- gy can be obtained by the collapsing of the hydrogen atom below its normal ground- state. For further information, including a paper presented before the American Chemical Society in early October 1999, see website www.blacklightpower.com. Patents are pending. 5. Kenneth Shoulders (see US Patent No. 5,018,180) has shown how the use of high-density charge clusters can produce both excess thermal and direct electrical energy. Up to now, the devices have been small (about one watt per device). Plans have been made and private funding is being used to scale up these thermal and direct electrical output discoveries. According to the patent, the excess energy apparently comes from tapping the vacuum energy of space. These are the unemotional facts about new energy. There are several other devel- opments that could be cited. However, these are the patented (and patent-pending) discoveries that are being commercialised. In all cases, the research and development have been done with private funds (except possibly for some work done by Prof. George Miley). The US Department of Energy has yet to discover and officially announce these new-energy processes. Anyone who desires to condemn all new-energy projects as fraudulent is, of course, either vastly misinformed or work- ing under someone else's agenda. The gen- uine, new-energy development program is vigorous, scientific, privately funded, patented, and (as with the above items 3, 4 and 5) is being commercialised. There is nothing that the new-energy s a professional scientist I have A= the past ten years (plus), since the announcement of "cold fusion", tracking down, investigating and reporting on a variety of proposed new-energy devices. Our group (Fusion Information Center and Trenergy, Inc.) has published hundreds of articles and collected, read and reported on over 3,000 professional papers on various new-energy devices, systems, proposals and theories. In a capsule, here are the results: 1. Cold fusion does work. Over 600 papers from over 200 laboratories in 30 countries have reported successes. However, none of the varieties of cold fusion devices (as yet) is robust and easily replicated, so there is no threat to the hot- fusion community. 2. The Cincinnati Group has shown both excess thermal energy and nuclear reac- tions from a special electrochemical con- figuration. The most important finding is the ability to reduce the radioactivity in some aqueous solutions. We have replicated and extended this work in Trenergy's laboratory and have reported the results in a meeting of the American Nuclear Society. Some similar (but different configuration) low-energy nuclear reactions have been accomplished and fully reported by Professor George Miley, editor (until 1999) of Fusion a] “ ied oy SE. mL 54 ¢ NEXUS DECEMBER 1999 — JANUARY 2000
