what are some unorthodox science are you in to, if any?

are you interested in exotic research as well?


here's a old video of a small engine running on mostly water:

Ever since the first announcements back in the late 80's-early 90's concerning cold fusion, I've tried to keep a little bit abreast of the topic; for what its' worth, I think it'll eventually become a proven technology. Now, the video above is from a seminar dated 2009, 2010 so tis' a few years old but if they've continued their research through to the present, there could be something there. Quoting the info from the video's Youtube page:

UPDATE: On April 16, 2013, Pamela Boss, Frank E. Gordon, Stanislaw Szpak, and Lawrence Forsley were awarded United States Patent 8419919 for the neutron particle experiments cited in this video. This milestone is well deserved, as these scientists worked in obscurity, in their spare time to make this patent possible.

At the University of Missouri, on May 29, 2009, scientists from the US Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) lectured on twenty years of verified research involving anomalous heat and mini-explosions on deuterated metals, reported by various governmental and international research laboratories.

They conclude that these energetic observations are of nuclear origin and sow the seeds of a true green energy source.

The lecture summary: Twenty-Year History of Lattice-Enabled Nuclear Reactions Using Pd/D Co-deposition (F.E. Gordon, S. Szpak, P.A. Mosier-Boss, Melvin Miles, and L.P.G. Forsley)

In the Pd/D co-deposition process, working and counter electrodes are immersed in a solution of palladium chloride and lithium chloride in deuterated water. Palladium is then electrochemically reduced onto the surface of the working electrode in the presence of evolving deuterium gas. Electrodes prepared by Pd/D co-deposition exhibit highly expanded surfaces consisting of small spherical nodules. Because of this high surface area and electroplating in the presence of deuterium gas, the incubation time to achieve high D/Pd loadings necessary to initiate LENR is orders of magnitude less than required for bulk electrodes. Using a Dewar-type electrochemical cell/calorimeter, it was shown that the rates of excess enthalpy generation using electrodes prepared by the Pd/D co-deposition technique were higher than that obtained when Pd bulk electrodes were used.1 Positive feedback and heat-after-death effects were also observed with the Pd/D co-deposited electrodes. Infrared imaging of electrodes prepared by Pd/D co-deposition show that the working electrode is hotter than the solution indicating that the heat source is the Pd/D co-deposited electrode and not Joule heating.2 Infrared images also show that the heat generation is not continuous, but occurs in discrete spots on the electrode. The 'hot spots' observed in the infrared imaging experiments suggest that 'mini-explosions' were occurring, These 'mini-explosions' were confirmed by conducting the Pd/D co-deposition directly on a piezoelectric transducer. To verify that the heat produced by Pd/D co-deposition was nuclear in origin, experiments were conducted to detect the nuclear ash. Using the Pd/D co-deposition, the following nuclear emanations have been detected: X-ray emission,3 tritium production,4 transmutation,5 and particle emission.6,7

I dabble in alchemy now and again.

And of late I've been gathering equipment to do something with an idea I had about cold fusion.

I even sought some input from known master of science Nebulous about it.

so what's the idea then? :P
