- Infinite Energy Magazine publishes
Tenth Anniversary Issue - Includes a "Special Report: MIT and Cold
Fusion"
-
- The news about cold fusion from the University
of Utah on March 23, 1989 was greeted with astonishment worldwide. Drs.
Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons had claimed that an electrochemical
cell with heavy water electrolyte and a palladium cathode gave rise to
so much excess energy that the mysterious phenomenon had to be nuclear,
and was probably a process related to nuclear fusion. Many scientists
quickly took sides for or against cold fusion-mostly against. By the end
of the summer of 1989 the "experts" claimed cold fusion didn't
exist. They said it was an experimental error and could not be reproduced.
Actually, the story had barely begun. Provocative research never ended.
Cold fusion was and is very much alive, and has been confirmed in hundreds
of experiments performed in many countries. The current issue of Infinite
Energy magazine lists the top thirty-four papers and their provocative
scientific conclusions that substantiate a broad class of cold fusion phenomena.
Significant commercial efforts are underway toward developing this revolutionary
new clean energy source and the other discoveries it inspired. The new
field of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR)-nuclear transmutation at low
energy-has been born.

- On the Tenth Anniversary of the Cold
Fusion announcement, Infinite Energy magazine clarifies one of the most
intense controversies in the history of science with its Special Tenth
Anniversary of Cold Fusion Issue (128 pages). Many cold fusion scientists,
including pioneer Dr. Martin Fleischmann, provide their views of the past
decade and the future of cold fusion. The Anniversary Issue also features
a fifty-five page Special Report: MIT and Cold Fusion. This meticulously
documented report proves that the U.S. Department of Energy's rush-to-judgment
negative report in 1989 relied, in part, on a highly flawed cold fusion
experiment performed at the MIT Plasma Fusion Center. Hot fusion scientists
there feared loss of their continued Federal support if cold fusion gained
currency. The MIT PFC conducted a so-called "negative" experiment
that was first to be cited by the U.S. Department of Energy in its influential,
disastrous report.

- Dr. Eugene F. Mallove, MIT graduate and
Editor-in-Chief of Infinite Energy, who wrote the Special Report, concludes:
"The energy and environmental future of the world hung in the balance-and
the MIT Plasma Fusion Center people failed us. They preferred to get rid
of a scientific claim in which they did not believe, and which threatened
their federally funded program, by playing politics with the media, trivializing
their experiments, and ultimately foisting on the world highly flawed data-some
would say fraudulently represented data-from a calorimetry experiment ostensibly
performed to determine scientific truth." Mallove implicates MIT President
Charles M. Vest and others of participating in an unconscionable whitewash
of serious scientific misconduct that occurred on a federally funded research
project. #END#
