Natural Science Forum / Physics / Fusion / October 2003

I'm interested in fusion but hardly an expert.  What is the current
status of fusion research?  What do you all estimate as how many
years until a self-sustaining fusion reaction is achieved that is
sufficient for commercial energy production?

How can i make a POST request to remote http server inside Cold Fusion?

The highest stable isotope of Paladium could be induced to
disintegrate double beta with a 1.99 MeV peak energy.
Now, I remember that some article has correlated "cold fusion events"
with days of solar activity. Perhaps it was not a fool idea, after

I am looking for some old HP calculators like HP 41CV, HP 41CX, HP
71B, HP 15C, HP 16C, HP 67 and any others in the 1980's era...If you
have one you would like to sell please email me at

In March 1989, Pons and Fleischmann claimed that they were able to
produce nuclear fusion by electrolysis of heavy water with a palladium
cathode. Their main evidence for this claim was the production of
excess heat which could not be explained by any known chemical

Hey people what's up with Google's revised group index?
sci.physics.fusion no longer shows up.
Actually a whole lot of other groups have gone missing
as well.

Assuming Brits has kept an uniform criterium during these years,
I'd say the claims of resurrection are still slightly exagerated.

Why does the USPTO continue to deny the existence of Cold Fusion and
continue to deny Cold Fusion patents when the U.S. Navy issued a
report earlier this year stating that they believe, after a decade of
secret research, that the Cold Fusion effect is real?  That boggles

U.S. Navy Report Supports Cold Fusion
A new official report prepared by the U.S. Navy strongly supports cold
fusion research and its funding:
TECHNICAL REPORT 1862, February 2002

Comments on "Use of a very sensitive Seebeck calorimeter to study
the Pons-Fleischmann and Letts Effects by Edmund Storms" presented
at the 10th Int'l Conf. on Cold Fusion, held in Cambridge,
Massachusetts 24 - 29 August 2003, by Dr. Edmund Storms (ES).  

Interestingly, the USPTO caught on long ago to one particular favorite
of enterprising but unwitting inventors which is neither novel,
nonobvious, or reducible to practice: perpetual motion machines.  Such
devices can be patented only if working models are submitted and stand
