Rowan University scientists have for the first time independently formulated and tested fuels that on demand generated energy greater than that of combustion at power levels of kilowatts using BLP's solid fuel chemistry capable of continuous regeneration. A new form of hydrogen was confirmed to have formed as a result of the heat release.

Japan's Wireless, Power-Generating, Solar Satellite Inhabitat
Japan has serious plans to send a solar-panel-equipped satellite
into space that could wirelessly beam a gigawatt-strong stream
of power down to earth and power nearly 300,000 homes.
The satellite will have a surface area of four square kilometers, and transmit power via microwave to a base station on Earth. Putting solar panels in space bypasses many of the difficulties of installing them on Earth: in orbit, there are no cloudy days, very few zoning laws, and the cold ambient temperature is ideal.
A small test model is scheduled for launch in 2015.
To iron out all the kinks and get a fully functional system set up
is estimated to take three decades.
A major kink, presumably, is coping with the possible dangers
when a 1-gigawatt microwave beam aimed at a small spot on
Earth misses its target.
The $21 billion project just received major backing from
Mitsubishi and designer IHI
(in addition to research teams from 14 other countries).

“Cold fusion” rebirth? New evidence for existence of controversial energy source
Researchers are reporting compelling new scientific evidence for the existence of low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR), the process once called “cold fusion” that may promise a new source of energy. One group of scientists, for instance, describe what they term the first clear visual evidence that LENR devices can produce neutrons, subatomic particles that scientists view as tell-tale signs that nuclear reactions are occurring. Low-energy nuclear reactions could potentially provide 21st Century society a limitless and environmentally-clean energy source for generating electricity, researchers say. The report injects new life into this controversial field.

The report injects new life into this controversial field.
Abstract - More than 190 studies reporting evidence for the "cold fusion" effect are evaluated.
New work has answered criticisms by eliminating many of the suggested errors.
Evidence for large and reproducible energy generation as well as various nuclear reactions,
in addition to fusion, from a variety of environments and methods is accumulating.
The field can no longer be dismissed by invoking obvious error or prosaic explanations.

> Mills et al. (1992) proposed and demonstrated (Mills and Kneizys, 1991) excess heat production using a H2O-based electrolyte and a nickel cathode.
> Subsequent papers further support his model. (Mills et al., 1994)
> It is obvious that excess heat production in the Ni-H20 environment has many characteristics that differ from the Pd-D20 system.
> These differences suggest that heat production does not resulted from the same nuclear reaction nor from the same chemical environment.

Prof. Robert Duncan gives presentation on cold fusion
May 2009
Prof. Robert Duncan, vice chancellor for research and a professor of physics, University of Missouri-Columbia, appeared on 60 Minutes segment, "Cold Fusion is Hot Again."
On April 23, 2009, he spoke at The Missouri Energy Summit, a conference sponsored by the University of Missouri System.
With so many open questions, 60 Minutes wanted to find out whether cold fusion is more than a tempest in a teapot. So 60 Minutes turned to an independent scientist, Rob Duncan, vice chancellor of research at the University of Missouri and an expert in measuring energy.
"When we first called you and said 'We'd like you to look into cold fusion for 60 Minutes,' what did you think when you hung up the phone?" Pelley asked Duncan.
"I think my first reaction was something like, 'Well, hasn't that been debunked?'" he replied.
We asked Duncan to go with 60 Minutes to Israel, where a lab called Energetics Technologies has reported some of the biggest energy gains yet.
Duncan spent two days examining cold fusion experiments and investigating whether the measurements were accurate.
Asked what he thought when he left the Israeli lab, Duncan told Pelley, "I thought, 'Wow. They've done something very interesting here.'"
He crunched the numbers himself and searched for an explanation other than a nuclear effect. "I found that the work done was carefully done, and that the excess heat, as I see it now, is quite real," Duncan said.

Fig. 3. Comparison of zirconium-palladium samples loaded with deuterium versus hydrogen gas.
のところで
A ZrO2-Pd sample with D2 (deuterium) gas.
B Zr-Ni-Pd sample with D2 gas.
Both the audience and the presenters included many younger people,
especially from the U.S. Navy, the ENEA and Japanese universities.
By "younger" I mean people in their 30s and 40s, rather than retired professors in their 70s.
There appears to be lot of new funding for the research,
perhaps a million dollars or more per year.
That's a lot by the standards of cold fusion.
There may be more effective funding now than there has been since 1990.
I cannot judge whether the dollar amounts are greater,
but the talent and instruments being brought to the subject are the best they have ever been,
with people from the NRL and two or three U.S. universities with capabilities that rival long-time researchers at SRI and the ENEA.
I have to be circumspect about some aspects of this report,
such as describing which universities are doing what.
They have not yet gone public.
They do not want to alert people such as Robert Park who oppose cold fusion.
Park and others like him try to derail funding and destroy the researchers'
reputations by various methods such as publishing assertions in the mass media
that the researchers are frauds, lunatics and criminals.
過剰熱
常温核融合現象で測定される過剰熱が、化学的な原因では説明できないことは、その量的な大きさを知ることによって納得できる。
ここでは大きな過剰熱が測定された一例を示すが、同程度の測定例は非常に沢山ある。
R. Bush and R. Eagletonは５μｍの厚さのＰｄ薄膜電極で実験し、54日間に約１５ＭＪの発熱を観測した。
単位時間の最大過剰熱は約６Ｗで、平均値は3.2Ｗであった。
この値をＰｄ内で起った現象によるものと考えると、Ｐｄ一モル当りの発熱量は約6.3×10**10J/molになる。
化学反応での発熱量は、C + O2 → CO2.の反応で94.05kcal/mol = 3.93×10**5J/molであるから、
常温核融合現象の過剰熱が化学反応の発熱の10**5倍程度であり、質的に違う原因、多分核反応を考えなければ説明不可能なことが理解される。
