Martin Fleischmann made the greatest discovery since fire: replicating the furnace of the sun at room temperature in a jar of water, essentially solving the world’s energy needs forever.

That is how Dr. Fleischmann might have liked his obituary to read. On March 23, 1989, when he and a colleague announced that they had achieved nuclear fusion in their laboratory, it even seemed possible. News reports heralded the scientists’ “star in a jar.” Continue reading »

The 17th International Conference on “Cold Fusion” takes place next week in Seoul, Korea.

A few dozen researchers — mostly the people who have been active in the field for the last 23 years — will give presentations. The conference schedule is here. The presenters include researchers from the U.K., U.S., Italy, Russia, Ukraine, Japan, India and China.

I spoke with Frank Gordon, the co-chair of the ICCF-17 conference, earlier this week and asked him about forthcoming highlights. Continue reading »

National Instruments, a major U.S. company that produces tools for engineers and scientists, sponsored a demonstration of a nickel-hydrogen gas low-energy nuclear reaction reactor on Monday at its annual NI Week trade show at the Austin Convention Center in Texas. National Instruments is also sponsoring talks there on LENR research.

According to a source at the show who spoke with James Truchard, co-founder, president and chief executive officer of National Instruments, Truchard is very interested in LENR research.

New Energy Times spoke with Julia Britts, media relations manager for National Instruments, on Monday to get more information about Truchard’s interest in LENR, but neither got back to New Energy Times before we went to press.* Continue reading »

In response to the death of Martin Fleischmann three days ago, I have had a lot of requests for background information on him. I have just uploaded a copy of the original University Of Utah press release. The last two pages of that document contain the curriculum vitas of both Martin Fleischmann and B. Stanley Pons.

The Salt Lake Tribune published a story today at 1pm.

Martin Fleischmann, co-discoverer with B. Stanley Pons of a phenomenon they initially attributed to nuclear fusion, is dead at 85.

Fleischmann died Aug. 3 at his home in Tisbury, U.K., in the presence of his family. He suffered from numerous health problems for many years, including Parkinson’s disease, diabetes and heart disease. He was bedridden for the last few months. He is survived by his wife, Sheila, son, Nicholas, daughter, Vanessa, and eight grandchildren. A third child, Charlotte, died several years ago.

Today, Nicholas told me, “Until the very end, my father remained stoic, as ever, not a word of any complaint.”

“He might shout and carry on about topics of science but not about himself,” Nicholas said. “It’s the end of an era.” Continue reading »
