ICCF-24 updates and other Anthropocene/ARPA-E news

Day 4-July 28

Birds of a Feather Sessions

Where do we go next? A forum for investors, entrepreneurs, scientists, and others to connect

and discuss commercialization of LENR. Example topics include technical and financial risk, infrastructure transformation, supply chains, consumer, and industry applications.

Looking forward to this part of the ICCF. Not sure who will be hosting, but almost all the speakers with maybe the exception of Huw Price, have solid entrepreneurial backgrounds. Some fresh new faces also that may be able to provide new direction.

Quote from fabrice DAVID

he is offering a prize of 2 million dollars for the team that will manage to demonstrate the operation of a system of direct electrical energy production based on energy-based nuclear reactions (Solide State Fusion Prize)

Maybe it's up to us to take a vote now on who should receive the Diamondis SSF-prize. Otherwise I reckon it will be snapped up by big enterprises, big players who are already well-funded. Team Google for instance.

The Ansari X Prize was amazing, from inception, unique set of rules, series of stages being met by a thinning field... Won by Sir Richard Branson.

I suppose it might have crossed Elon Musk's mind at some time, "I wish I had entered that contest." He does have Space X as a consolation.

Nice plug from Elon Musk about the ICCF. Tells me the Silicon Valley movers and shakers are getting the word out about the conference, and LENR...although they call it something else. I believe Musk was interested in testing the Ecat early on, but Rossi refused. So he has been aware for a long time. This should catch the attention of the media and maybe bring some positive reporting.

Nice plug from Elon Musk about the ICCF.

I am not familiar with Twitter. Did that message include a link to the conference? That is an image, so I cannot click on the links.

If he is recommending cold fusion, that's great!

Sorry, no link.

That’s a tweet from ICCF24, not from Elon…

Here’s the link

Elon did not say anything here, ICCF24 tweeted a link to xprize.org which shows up as a thumbnail with Elon

oops. Thanks for the correction.

Quote from Shane D.

Absolutely

Yes Elon has been following advanced developments... Beyond Rossi.

Nice to see who the XPRIZE group brings to the table... Beyond Musk and Page.

Student Program luncheon at ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit 2022. - YouTube

Carl Page gives a nice presentation at last month's ARPA-E workshop in Denver. About half way through he starts talking about LENR/CF, and the upcoming ICCF where he explains a little about why the X-Prize may be a game changer for the field.

Got to hand it to him, he has not only enthusiastically embraced the field, but in the process educated himself on it's history. Calling this the 100th anniversary it was discovered. Something we should maybe do, instead of acting like it started with FP's.

I thought it interesting that he again brought up how Google (Team Google/Project Charleston) had some success. If you remember, when their paper was published in Nature, it was written as a "we found nothing, yet we are very excited". It was a confusing message, and most of us at the time assumed they were downplaying some of the positive, and unexpected results to avoid mainstream backlash.

Quote from Shane D.

talking about LENR/CF,

TM 7.28 My favorite is solid state fusion..

NASA' s shortcut to fusion..

if you start fusion in a metal instead of in a plasma or a gas...

Some partial truths there.from Carl Page

.. the details need to be clarified with R&D

along the way...( not ITER)..

Carl Page is on Team Brillouin.

Larry Page is on Team Google.

One way to improve this competition would be to award the prize to...

The team who helps all other teams improve their reactors energy output and control better than any other competitor.

The Race to Improve

Solid State Fusion

Energy Tech

X-Prize

Let's see all your data and trade secrets.

Let the Race begin!!

Interesting comment recently made (two days ago) by Carl on an IEEE article from Feb. by Team GEC/NASA. It definitely is a subtle pitch for 'cold fusion'.

Carl continues to refer to CMNS Energy Technology as S-SAFE

Solid State Atomic and Fusion Energy

Gennadiy Tarassenko Interesting that he agrees with your thoughts of 'cold fusion' inside the 🌎 Earth. Send him a paper by letter care of BEC Brillouin Energy Corporation. Also, the author bios in this IEEE article are an interesting study. Nice to see Carl's recent interest here.

"This article is like a Turing Machine. It's proven. Bone-head simple. Anyone can understand it, particularly particle physicists because it uses only familiar tools and evidence is high energy particles.

However the implications are that fusion can happen in metals 10 billion times easier than in gas or plasma.

That ought to set Fusion scientists back on their heels.

At the least consider a metal hydride target. Also take another look at Solid State Atomic and Fusion Energy aka Low Energy Nuclear Reactions. They get more plausible now that we have proven electron shielding works.

This bolsters the observations that Earth must have fusion reactions inside to account for the flux of geothermal heat energy, the magnetic shield, plate tectonics, and the helium flux and isotope ratios.

It has been odd that the heat from Earth's core seems to come from the solid inner core, and is convected by iron gyres to the mantle.

But the solid core and liquid core are made of the same materials? Why would the solid be sending convection gyres out?

Perhaps there is some heat producing reaction that works in a solid but not a liquid..

Here it is!

Lattice confined fusion or LENR might be in Earth's core keeping us safe from the solar winds by powering our magnetic force field!" - end quoted comment

Thanks. You have tuned in to watch the sunset in your hotel. My fate will be decided at the US Embassy in Nur-Sultan on July 1, and then we'll see what to do next!
