Cold Fusion: Places
built 649 days ago
The Cold Fusion will keep you comfortable, and dry (inside & out). It takes the place of a shell or fleece most days. Made with Schoeller's incredible WB-400 fabric, from New York City to Mt. Olympus, you will be comfortable in all conditions.

Cold Fusion is simply one of Warren Miller's most staggering documentaries. Released in 2001, this two-hour-plus film pours on (and on) a mix of remarkable action footage, breathtaking terrain, and unexpected exotica. Miller joins world-class athletes on four continents for extreme sporting that, at times, borders on the unimaginable. Join a pair of diehard skiers who hike through Kenya to ride what remains of an ancient glacier. Or gape at the Big Air Expedition in Winter Park, Colorado, where multiple "aerialists" (skiers who gain high altitudes in order to turn, twist, and spin upon descent) provide a cinematic phantasmagoria. (One of the film's two record-breaking events takes place here.) Superb chapters are ... set in Verbier, Switzerland and Waddington, U.K., but it's hard to beat the incredible snowboarding feats captured in gorgeous Girdwood, Alaska, or a ski adventure in, of all places, Iran.

With cold fusion, people will try to prolong the life of obsolescent machines. They may succeed in some cases. Sailing ships achieved a final, short-lived heyday in the 1860s, forty years after the first steamship crossed the Atlantic. This success was due to improved marine engineering and to the use of steam tugboats, which allowed large, unwieldy wooden sailing ships to dock, maneuver in tight channels, and reach the open sea before setting sail. Steam engines first prolonged the age of sail, then slowly brought it to an end. People will try to prop up the electric power companies with cold fusion, by developing large, central power generators with cold fusion in place of coal or fission.

Mallove contends MIT's researchers did generate excess heat in their cold fusion experiment, and then fudged that finding in their final report. As evidence, Mallove has produced a copy of the original heat-measurement graph used in the MIT experiment, which showed slight heat production above the expected level. That graph did not appear in the final MIT report. In its place, the MIT team published an "adjusted" graph that showed no production of excess heat. Mallove resigned in protest and demanded an investigation.

It is remarkable that two cold fusion workshops are going to take place nearly simultaneously this month. One, organized by ISCMNS (International Society for Condense Matter Nuclear Science), is starting today in Siena, Italy, and another will start at MIT, Boston, next week. The Boston workshop is dedicated to Eugene Malove, “Cold Fusioneer, Investigator and MIT Graduate '69.” Two cold fusion conferences will ... take place this year:

There is one place... where cold fusion is not permitted to be discussed or debated: the American press. Says Wall: "Once CF started getting treated as a serious science, not just by a strong-willed minority of appropriately credentialed scientists, but by scientific and engineering establishments around the world (Japan), it appeared as more than bizarre that it was still considered heresy in the US."
