Symposium on New Energy Technology

Organizer: Jan Marwan

This symposium covers a wide range of New Energy Technology with respect to clean environmental technologies with the capacity to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels. This symposium includes ideas of how to improve the efficiency of energy sources as alternatives to fossil fuels and will mainly focus on the subject of cold fusion. The aim is to collect experimental evidences for cold fusion with the attempt to present reasonable explanations summarizing the facts towards a conclusive theoretical and practical working model.

The emphasis is directed towards the fabrication of cold fusion devices with unique commercial potentials demonstrating the power of low-energy nuclear reactions as the alternative to any fossil fuels. The idea of cold nuclear fusion has led to endless discussions about the kinetic impossibility of intense nuclear reactions with high coulomb barrier potentials. During the memorable Pons-Fleischmann experiment in 1989, which involved electrochemical cells using heavy water and palladium as the electrode, significant excess heat was discovered challenging all current atomic models.

Understanding this process is one of the most challenging issues in the scientific world. Since I am very much involved and an expert in cold fusion, I propose to organize this symposium at the ACS National Meeting. If it turns out, as I strongly suspect, that cold fusion will be the alternative to fossil fuels and the most efficient energy source, the ACS would demonstrate leadership as the cutting edge leading science into a new era.
