DOE Report Calls
for Funding of New Cold Fusion Research –
Palo Alto, CA December 14, 2004 – A recent U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) report (Dec 1, 2004) calls for funding of research in the field long known as “cold fusion.” This represents a breakthrough for scientists working in the field over its life of 15 years. “Solid-state electronics theory and methods now prove to be apply to Solid-State Fusion Energy. This allows us to produce radiation-free and waste-free nuclear energy. One out of every 5,000 atoms of hydrogen on Earth is the heavy form of hydrogen, known as deuterium or D2, the fuel for solid-state fusion.” Comments Russ George, scientist for D2Fusion of California and one of the pioneers in the field. Solid-state fusion, occurring in nano materials, (lattices of some tens of nanometer dimension) shares common roots with conventional solid-state electronics and high temperature super-conductivity. All three phenomena adhere to now-established quantum solid-state rules for coherent matter and energy. Similarly, the discovery of solid-state electronics methods, materials, and theory led to today’s electronic age and countless useful technologies. Russ George noted, "Those same rules and theories now guide the development of nano-technology methods and materials that deliver nuclear fusion energy. These quantum nano-fusion reactions produce energy from the fusion of hydrogen (deuterium), nuclei while suppressing radiation leaving, only helium behind as the waste product." The hot fusion community with its enormous multi-billion dollar machines with names like Tokamak and Stellerator that seek to mimic conditions inside the sun and stars now faces intense competition from the much more practical, safe, and inexpensive applications that derive from nano-technology based solid-state fusion. Amongst the leading innovators in this field are the scientists and engineers working with D2FUSION of California who have demonstrated their ingenuity and prowess in this field in major laboratories around the world including Los Alamos, Stanford Research International, and the Electric Power Research Institute as well as Japanese labs. D2FUSION is confident that practical solid-state fusion devices are a mere few years away from store shelves. The first applications will likely be similar to familiar and inexpensive 1-2 kilowatt space heaters and heat sources. More information is available at www.D2FUSION.com .
