Not being a nuclear physicist, I hope that this new process isn't just smoke and mirrors. *engineeering

Oops - *engineering

Interesting voodoo science here... any word on neutron production and detection, which would indicate an atomic rather than some weird, exotic chemical reaction?

It's smoke and mirrors. "Free" energy that has detailed explanations, but no formula are -always- crackpottery at best, and fraud at worst. Dardik would seem to have a fascination for "wave energy", and a habit of fraudulent claims of their capabilities (for large sums of money).

His medical license was revoked for fraud back in 1995 by the New York Dept of Health. Further support would come from one of his "patients", who was charged $100,000 for this quackery.

Now it would appear that since he can no longer make money from fraudulent medical practices, he's found another way to try. My prediction: any investor is going to pay his gullibility tax.

Wow. Pretty damning stuff there.

Who in their right minds would show their faces on the http://superwavefusion.com/our-team/ next to that guy...

Then again, they all claim to hold patents, have published work in the area and have actual degrees and experience in the field.

All of this is moot anyway if a separate lab can reproduce their results independently. Have to wait and see for that one.

upvote cuz i'm skeptical but want to know more. evidence would be good. published journal articles would be better. several replicated and published studies by highly ranked universities (publicly funded with comprehensive statements of interest) would win.

nicely made video, concept isnt new? it works? neato... it can power my obamatrak

At the end of the process,
science has been made
and the cake is tasty and moist.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I'd like to know about the independent labs that have verified the work.

Execept how much energy is needed to make the right "Heavy water" and lithium salts? SOunds plausible that fusion can occur by increasing a population in a lattice and then adding heat and some will eventually fuse due to quantum effects.

Does it make more energy than is put in?

If yes = unlimited energy.

If no = useless.

What a bunch of bulltaco.

Why is there so much 'free energy' bullshit on the internet? I've never understood it. Is it a scheme to get money from investors? Website hits? I don't get it.

It's not free energy...

Free energy is stuff like Perpetuum mobile, which generates energy from nothing, and is widely regarded as impossible.

This generates it's excess heat from the fuel you put in, which is the Heavy Water. It's not unlimited, but heavy water can be distilled from sea water, since it's entire uniqueness is a higher concentration of Deuterium, which is quite common in sea water.

I don't know whether this is true or not - i am not sufficiently educated to tell - but cold fusion is not free energy and is seen as a pretty big holy grail for scientists in terms of energy problems.

A rudimentary physics understanding teaches you about fusion and fission. Fission is where the nucleus of an atom splits into different stuff releasing energy as it does so.

Basically a fusion reaction releases a lot more energy than a fission reaction, that's the general idea and the general aim. We use fission now to produce lots of energy at little pollution costs (depending on what you class as little, of course). The aim is to replace this with the better principle of cold fusion which would create more energy and for even less polution. As the guy said above me - you can get it from sea water, and i don't know what the end product is but iirc from my physics a-level, it's nothing particular bad (unlike the radioactive waste from fission we get now).

Fusion is what takes place in the sun, where the opposite happens - 2 nuclei combine to form something else. So yes, the sun can do fusion and look how much energy it releases. That's not free energy. The problem for humans is that we only know of fusion that can take place at extremely high pressures/temperatures as of that in the sun, and therefore is useless to us because the energy required for us to forcibly increase the temperature/pressure so high is greater than the energy you would get out of the reaction (and we might not be able to do it).. So our holy grail is something called "cold fusion" which is the same thing but not at huge temperatures/pressures that we can't achieve realistically or economically.

Fusion is NOT make believe or "free energy". This is way beyond turning a wheel to produce something greater than you put in. There are HUUUUUUUUGE amounts of energy stored inside atoms. Check out the wikipedia pages, but they're kinda hard reading.

As for whether or not this is possible or real, no idea. But scientists are definitely working on cold fusion.
