Cold Fusion: History

Introduction: Research on low-energy nuclear reactions (LENRs) originated as the result of an electrolysis experiment that used the elements palladium (a heavy metal) and deuterium (an isotope of hydrogen). The first modern experiment was performed by Martin Fleischmann and B. Stanley Pons at the University of Utah in early 1985. Fritz Paneth and Kurt Peters of the University of Berlin preceded Fleischmann and Pons with a similar experiment in 1926. Fleischmann and Pons used an electrochemical method of generating nuclear energy, in the form of heat, in a way previously unrecognized by nuclear physicists. The two electrochemists announced their work. | Cold Fusion History SB Krivit New Energy Times San Rafael CA USA 2009 Elsevier . All rights reserved. Introduction Research on low-energy nuclear reactions LENRs originated as the result of an electrolysis experiment that used the elements palladium a heavy metal and deuterium an isotope of hydrogen . The first modern experiment was performed by Martin Fleischmann and B. Stanley Pons at the University of Utah in early 1985. Fritz Paneth and Kurt Peters of the University of Berlin preceded Fleischmann and Pons with a similar experiment in 1926. Fleischmann and Pons used an electrochemical method of generating nuclear energy in the form of heat in a way previously unrecognized by nuclear physicists. The two electrochemists announced their work at a press conference on 23 March 1989. They said that they had attained a sustained nuclear fusion reaction . The media identified the discovery as cold fusion . This event initiated a new field of science. It did not belong exclusively to chemistry physics or any other scientific discipline. As the field approaches its third decade much has been learned but certain significant facts remain unknown. However this limitation is not unexpected considering the novelty and scope of the subject matter. History The Discoverers of Cold Fusion Fleischmann is widely regarded as one of the world s top electrochemists. Although he is best known for the codiscovery of cold fusion he was first a leader in many aspects of electrochemistry the science behind battery research. He was born on 29 March 1927 in Czechoslovakia. He and his family were caught up in the Nazi occupation of western Czechoslovakia in 1938 but managed to escape to England. Fleischmann studied at the University of London s Imperial College focusing on platinum and hydrogen and he earned his doctorate in chemistry there. At 40 Fleischmann was offered a position as chair of the electrochemistry department at the University of Southampton. He built up the department and .
