SCIENCE OF LOW ENERGY NUCLEAR REACTION, THE: A COMPREHENSIVE COMPILATION OF EVIDENCE AND EXPLANATIONS ABOUT COLD FUSION

by Storms Edmund

One of the most important discoveries of this century -- cold fusion -- was summarily rejected by science and the media before sufficient evidence had been accumulated to make a rational judgment possible. Enough evidence is now available to show that this rejection was wrong and that the discovery of a new source of clean energy may help solve some serious problems currently facing mankind. The book catalogues and evaluates this evidence and shows why the initial reaction was driven more by self-interest than fact. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the history and science behind the cold fusion controversy. In addition to the technological importance of the effect, the discovery of new ways to initiate nuclear reactions without producing significant radiation reveals an entirely new mechanism operating at the nuclear level in solid material. This new mechanism has important implications for an understanding of many other phenomena.

[Mike Lisanke · Rating 5 out of 5]

A clear easy to understand book on the esoteric subject of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions once called Cold Fusion. This is an important subject and this is a science book on this subject that does not stray into debate or social justice and is not written to be a NY Times best seller and is extremely well referenced. Why the mainstream would call those who study this phenomenon Not Science, I have no idea. But that is what happened. I'm still hopeful for many more Useful discoveries from this field of study and I'm hopeful as those now studying the topic call Lattice confinement fusion (LCF) have found a new phrase around the stigma of the 80's.

Here is a wonderful book on a very important subject: Cold Fusion. The author, Edmund Storms, is a retired scientist whose whole career was spent at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His PhD is from Washington University in St. Louis. There he focused his studies on the science of high temperature metals.

Although somewhat technical in nature, this is a book that can be enjoyed by almost anyone who has even a relatively limited scientific background. I would say, for some, just high school chemistry and physics would be sufficient to enable the reader to enjoy this book.

The author spent an incredible amount of time and effort to compile numerous charts and tables that summarize the work of many researches. But, he also shares his own efforts in a way that can be easily understood by lay persons.

To summarize this book in a few words; it presents a convincing argument that fusion of hydrogen nuclei can be achieved at relatively low temperatures. How about even at room temperatures?

The author provides a great deal of the history of the struggle by cold fusion researchers to gain acceptance by the general scientific community.

And once you read this book you will find that there are numerous websites, some listed in his book, that can provide many other interesting articles on this subject. And there are also other books on this subject that you can read - if it turns out that this is a field that turns you on. Again, not all of these other books will require that you have an extensive scientific back ground.

Broaden your mind. Put aside the werewolves, teenagers who ride around on brooms, and take a flight into a scientific frontier where one day a discovery will be made that will give the world the energy to power the future generations of the peoples of our planet.
