Den Korte Avis has written about thorium as an alternative energy source - now a promising new source of energy on the road
We have several times heard about alternative energy sources here at The Short Avis, especially on thorium reactors.
Here's my take on an energy source that maybe in just 5-10 years will produce a substantial amount of the world's energy consumption. It is an energy source that has the potential to revolutionize the world. First, the completely harmless, and, secondly, it is so cheap that it becomes economically feasible to produce fresh water from salt water.
The pioneers
Our story starts March 23, 1989 at the University of Utah, USA. Here announce the two electro-chemist Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons, they have discovered the "N-fusion", which they believed to have demonstrated that fusion processes could take place at very low temperatures.
We know the fusion process of the sun and the hydrogen bomb; common to them is that they require very high temperatures, and they are extremely energetic. A hydrogen bomb is ignited just with a regular atomic bomb to fusion process can begin. (There are over recent years spent billions and billions on research to produce energy at these high temperature fusion processes).
However, Fleischmann and Pons now claimed that a similar process could occur at room temperature.
The reason was that they had had an experiment standing in the laboratory for months. They made the electrolysis of heavy water with lithium and so they had a 1 cm cube of palladium at the anode. A weekend discovering Pons' son has gone wrong and he'll call the Fleischmann and Pons.
The experiment was simply disappeared down the table, and upon closer inspection, it has burned itself further down into the concrete floor. It is very unusual, since palladium melts at 1600 degrees, and normally the metal will quickly be cooled by the encounter with the concrete. There is also no traces of palladium cube.
There was, in other words, been released huge amounts of energy, which they could not explain by any kind of chemical reaction. The only explanation was a nuclear process: "N-fusion" or "cold fusion" as it was dubbed in the press.
Fleischmann and Pons were both experienced researchers and volunteered therefore immediately meltdown of the nuclear authorities in the United States, who refused to believe it, because that was physically impossible had they understand. Fusion processes can not occur at room temperature, it at all.
Subsequently, a number of researchers tried to reproduce the process. Unfortunately, these researchers unsuccessfully and Fleischmann and Pons were (undeserved) discredited in scientific circles, and they saw their careers fall into ruins.
The research area was so little to laugh in scientific circles, but a small group of researchers spread across the globe continued, however, and therefore, we now know why the early attempts had failed.
The quiet energy revolution
We turn now time about two decades. One of the few who had been interested in the area, was the Italian inventor and entrepreneur Andrea Rossi.
For years he had worked on his invention and January 14, 2011, he presented his invention "E-cat" in Bologna, Italy. It was a small metal cylinder, which was located a few grams of nano-powder of nickel and lithium alluminium hydride. When he sent a moderate amount of current through the device, so keep cylinder red hot and produce an effect in the vicinity of 10kW. It is so large amounts of energy that one can rule out chemical reactions.
Rossi's biggest problem was that he showed, should not be possible according to physics knowledge in fusion processes.
Since then, much has happened. In two reports, a team of physicists observed his invention, and in the past also contains an isotopic analysis of nano powder-fuel. It clearly shows that there has been no change in the fuel.
Eg. the occurrence of lithium and nickel isotopes changed significantly during the 32 days as the test lasted. In addition, a number of researchers in Russia and China recreated the effect, which is now being referred to as "Rossi effect" and many other works to do the same.
Isotope analysis, measurements of the released amounts of energy as well as the successful replications all point clearly that the Rossi-effect exists, and in the world of physics, it is slowly becoming an accepted research again.
The area has been named LENR, which is the abbreviation of the English Low Energy Neuclear Reactions. Rossi has sold his invention to the US company [lexicon]Industrial Heat[/lexicon], and he with them continued to work with e-cat'en. For over half a year, they now have test driven a 1MW plant installed in a shipping container, and they have also taken the first patents in the field.
The full story of Andrea Rossi can be read in Swedish science journalist Mats Lewans book "An impossible investor tion".
The perfect energy source
Fleischmann was many years later asked why they have not repeated the experiment that had melted? To this he replied that it regarded the as too dangerous.
20 years later succeeded Rossi to crack the code so that the world now faces a source of energy that does not produce radiation or explode, which works at low temperature, which is cheap and that is incredibly potent. The only drawback is that it does not produce CO2!
