MSNBC Covers E-Cat's October 28 Cold Fusion Test
- geuis 15y agoThat's not a news report, its a freaking fluff piece. Here's a piece of advise. Don't ever rely on mass-media sources to cover science/technology accurately. Go to the sources. Go to the peer-reviewed journals, etc. Find the university or research sites that typically cover science discoveries and are written and edited BY ACTUAL SCIENTISTS that are knowledgeable in a given field. If you want a more general account of something, find a dedicated organization or blog that has an excellent reputation for accurately summarizing announced discoveries. These are generally run by people who actually know what the fuck is going on. Now for this E-Cat thing, so far its a load of bollux. You don't go around for years saying you've got some ground breaking advance in technology and/or physics but never let people examine it. If its true, then you let experts see it and you publicly prove that it works. The whole "non-patented" bit is crap too. That's why we have a patent system. One that lets you publish the details of an invention while profiting from it. This whole thing smells so bad that its time to take out the trash.

- thret 15y ago"Most physicists as well as the United States Department of Energy (DoE), academic journals, and the U.S. Patent Office consider cold fusion machines to be hoaxes, because they say physics rules out the possibility of room-temperature nuclear fusion." No, physics does not. They are hoaxes because there's no known way to do it efficiently. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muon-catalyzed_fusion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muon-catalyzed_fusion
