CEO John Fitzgerald Dodaro

Visiting Scholar at Stanford University

I'm a a theoretical solid state physicist with a background in applied mathematics. I currently work on topics in high-temperature superconductivity and strongly correlated quantum materials, though I've had the opportunity to research phenomena on all scales, from detection of the highest energy particles to astrophysical surveys of our galaxy. My interests include nuclear physics and energy storage.

Ralph A. Dalla Betta, Ph.D.

NSIT Technologies, Inc.

Recent Career Overview

Ralph Dalla Betta managed the technology development group at Catalytica Inc. and Catalytica Energy Systems where he led teams that invented innovative technical concepts, lead teams that developed and demonstrated the technology and worked with the engineering groups to commercialize the technology.

The patent has pourous dual lattice elements that remind me of a Dennis Cravens early patent. Now he works with Industrial Heat

.https://patents.google.com/pat…nventor=Dennis+J.+CravensCold fusion propulsion apparatus and energy generating apparatusAbstract Propulsion apparatus employs 'cold fusion' of deuterium absorbed in a metal host lattice (7) to generate a heated momentum exchange effluent stream from the deuterium itself and/or to heat a momentum exchange fluid to provide a propulsive impulse upon exhausting through a nozzle (9). Thermal efficiency of a propulsion apparatus and an energy generating apparatus employing such 'cold fusion' of deuterium in a metal host lattice (7) is improved by using a deuterium (hydrogen)-absorbing metal lattice alloyed or compound with one or more of W, Re, Mo, Tu, Ti, Ir and C to raise the lattice melting point and permit higher 'cold fusion'

Aquarius hasTHz control it seems... that's different, but mentioned in a few other works, like NASA, Google...Never seen a patent quite like this. The nano physics, control and construction of advanced catalytics are these folks expertise.I thought something like this would come out of the Google/Munday Labs group or Liviu Popa Simil though.

Bio

Ricardo Levy is an executive and entrepreneur whose career spans more than three decades of founding and building successful businesses. Born and raised in South America to a European immigrant family, he completed engineering studies in the United States at Stanford and Princeton before returning to South America to run a family business. In 1969 he sold the business and returned to the United States to complete his Ph.D. at Stanford in the field of catalytic chemistry. In 1974, after a number of years in the petroleum and petrochemical industry, he co-founded his first entrepreneurial venture, Catalytica, a research and development firm serving the chemical, pharmaceutical, and clean energy industries. The firm’s discoveries resulted in over one hundred patents and led to the formation of three companies, one of which became, under Levy’s leadership, the largest supplier to the pharmaceutical industry in North America and was sold to European firm DSM in 2000. He has served on several public and private Boards, is Chairman of the Board of a private analytics software company, and from 2010 to 2016 served on the Advisory Board of the Santa Clara University Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship, a global incubator of social entrepreneurs. He continues to be a mentor for that program. He is a Lecturer at the Stanford University Chemical Engineering Department, where he teaches a course on entrepreneurship, leadership and new venture creation. He is the author of the book “Letters to a Young Entrepreneur: Succeeding in Business Without Losing at Life – A Leader’s Ongoing Journey” published in 2015. Throughout his life, Dr. Levy has pursued a keen interest in spirituality and personal growth and his conviction that a person’s inner beliefs and purpose are deeply linked to business success. He has continually applied his diverse studies to his roles as a business leader, mentor and teacher.

I think these guys have the will, skills and resources to have played around making a few reactor cores... or more... before filing that patent. I believe the patent is based on works done by them.

LENR Thermal

Nano thermal management

Without creating products from doing a lot of thinking about ideas Catalytica would not have been successful serving the chemical, pharmaceutical, and clean energy industries.

I expect the need for advanced nano catalyst structures and electro magnetic catalytic process control methods will lead to companies with products created to serve CMNS energy industries.

I need to research and study this for a while... cold fusion as "solid state fusion"... cold fusion as a catalytic process... THz control and sensors... LENR energy systems...

Aquarius is in to make products.

From what I see each have quite a bit of money... more than enough. These guys don't need money and their credit runs deep.

Initial offerings are often to solidify or develop chosen partners equity balance. Three investors account for $775,000 of the $1.5 M offered up. Who they are, I don't know. Nice to see this rolling out of Stanford though... SRI and friends might know them. Certainly the Petroleum Institute does.

I expect to see more patents from them related to reactor core material construction and process control systems for the many reaction methods developed by CMNS researchers.

The Google cold fusion patent citation....

Google Inc. follows such pings...

We'll follow these developments.

Interesting... This patent examiner does.

This group is not a bunch of patent trolls. Silly to think so after reading up on each of the inventors... In fact they may have been quietly working on this for a decade and only disclosing a bit of what they know, like Google has. We know less about their knowledge than they do, certainly wrong judgement displays ignorance when jumping to hasty conclusions.

Everything we have read about this science, even MFMP and LENR Forum discussions, they have likely studied and considered.
