Reflections on ICCF17 and the Journey with Pioneers of New Fire Technology
In 2012, I had the profound opportunity to attend the 17th International Conference on Condensed Matter Nuclear Science (ICCF17) in Daejeon, South Korea. Anticipation filled the air as I looked forward to meeting many luminaries who had dedicated their careers to the field of new fire, a radical exploration into energy generation that sought to harness the potential of nuclear processes at a low energy scale. Among those I was eager to meet were you and Martin Blumenthal, two figures that have significantly influenced this scientific domain.
Tragically, Martin passed away just three weeks before the event. His absence left a palpable void, yet I remained hopeful regarding your presentation, which I believed would deepen my understanding of this revolutionary field. However, shortly before the conference, a delegate announced that you had decided not to attend, citing discomfort in sharing your insights with the wider community. Despite this disappointment, I absorbed a wealth of knowledge from other speakers and engaged with several delegates who shared a passionate commitment to advancing this field.
During my time at the conference, I had the honor of being part of the creation of the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project (MFMP). For two and a half years, we dedicated ourselves to furthering the legacy and work of Martin. Our journey was marked by a desire to connect with you, and it wasn’t until after significant developments, notably the Lagana report, that you reached out to us. That call was met with immense excitement; we were eager to learn from your expertise.
When we finally met, your commitment to our shared pursuit was evident. You generously dedicated your time to share insights you felt comfortable discussing. Despite our initial lack of understanding of some topics you covered, it became clear to us that your depth of knowledge concerning these processes was profound. Following the Gloti 5.2 experiment, we observed phenomena you mentioned, validating your assertions and confirming your understanding of the underlying mechanics of the technology.
Your feelings of conflict regarding humanity’s entitlement to harness this technology are not lost on us. The planet is in distress, and an urgent need for innovative energy solutions exists. Currently, two practical applications of this technology, led by Randall Mills and Andrea Rossi, are on the verge of production, and it is essential for the broader community to develop a nuanced understanding of how to replicate these effects.
Notably, it has become increasingly clear that your mentorship helped uncover complexities that others could not navigate. Andrea Rossi's addition of lithium hydride and ionic solutions to nickel played a transformative role in overcoming these hurdles and enabled the production of protons, thereby generating high levels of energy effectively.
As we disseminate the remaining information and insights from our collective journey, it is vital to set the record straight and empower others to explore this field with a comprehensive understanding. Your work, especially since that pivotal day—August 16, 1989—when Rossi acknowledged the significance of your contributions, has left an indelible mark on the energy discourse.
In closing, I want to extend my gratitude for the gift of knowledge you have shared with us. Your journey reflects not only personal achievement but also a global responsibility that could potentially transform our world’s energy landscape for the better. Sylvia, be proud of your father; he is truly a great man.
