Das Buch beschreibt die Entwicklungen im Bereich der kalten Fusion aus Sicht eines beteiligten Wissenschaftlers. Die kalte Fusion ist ein Beispiel für ein naturwissenschaftliches Phänomen, welches von denen einen als nicht reproduzierbares Artefakt abgelehnt wird und von anderen als ein neues Wissenschaftsfeld angesehen wird.
Das Buch ist in vielfacher Hinsicht interessant. Zum einen beschreibt es die in mehreren Phasen ablaufenden Entwicklung dieses Gebiets von der Zeit euphorischen Meldung erster nicht reproduzierbarer Phänomene, über den mühsamen Weg der Messung von Neutronenraten in der Nähe des Hintergrundrauschens bis hin zu neuen Entdeckung einer Umwandlung von schweren Elementen.
Ein weiterer Aspekt ist die Dartellung des Verhaltens der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaft, die in der großen Mehrheit den Beobachtungen der Protagonisten skeptisch bis vehement ablehnend gegenüber stehen. Der Autor erzählt wie schwierig es ist, Forschungen in einem Gebiet durchzuführen, welches von der Mehrheit der Wissenschaftler geächtet wird.
Sprachlich ist das Buch besonders interessant. An vielen Stellen flechtet der Autor das Mittel der direkten Rede ein und zeichnet Dialoge, die vor vielen Jahren stattgefunden haben nach. Dies steht im skurrilen Gegensatz zu der technisch gehaltenen Schilderung der durchgeführten Versuche. Insgesamt ein vielseitiges Buch.

This English translation of Tadahiko Mizuno's Japanese book on cold fusion served as a valuable introduction to significant research and progress in a scientific process many have written off as unachievable. In recounting his personal research with electrochemical cells designed to produce a practical source of energy, Dr. Mizuno tells a story of many failures and a few successes. Clearly, reproducibility and consistent power production have been significant problems in producing energy by cold fusion. Though Mizuno was forced to work under conditions that would be regarded as difficult and unacceptable in much of Europe and the U.S., this persevering researcher slowly learned important factors that relate to the goal of achieving a sustained, controlled, and repeatable cold fusion. The obstacles faced by Mizuno were not limited to poor laboratory equipment or the expense of crucial materials, for he also was required to perform the time-consuming teaching duties of a professor and direct or restrict his research and publication efforts as required by authorities. Dr. Mizuno seems to understand what engineers know quite well: a valid theory facilitates the design of a device by proceeding with a design based upon the knowledge of electrical, chemical, and physical properties of materials. I quite enjoyed those parts of the book that revealed the human qualities of Dr. Mizuno as he struggled towards his personal goal of demonstrating cold fusion. At times, he shares a moment of philsophical reflection, showing delightful sides of his personality and character. For a novice in cold fusion research, the glossary proved indispensable. Here, terms are carefully defined, instrumentation functions are described, energy relationships are listed, chemical reactions are explained, and acronymns are expanded. Most readers can learn a lot of basic material on cold fusion by just reading the glossary. The book includes a bibliography of references, an index of topics, and an eight-page cold fusion chronology describing key events from 1967 to 1999. Experienced cold fusion researchers will want to read this book to see if they are named in it and to follow the path to knowledge taken by one of their greatest colleagues. Novices interested in this subject will find that this book tells a readable, event-driven story that teaches as it informs.

The triumph of Empiricism over Theory
19. März 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
How often do we have to shake off our preconceived dogmatisms?
The history of science is replete with examples.
Here is a contemporary example.
It has become blindingly obvious that Chemicaly Aided Nuclear Reactions are real and have been the victim of vested interests, much to our loss.
How much better Japan would be now if these discoveries were supported and pursued instead of fission generation.
Let us pray that Rossi can overcome his craven opponents and bring his demonstration to the market.
Tadahiko Mizuno is an honerable professor of electro chemistry who has been working on the issue since 1989.
If you are of an open mind you will find this a good and easy read. It shows the triumph of empircism of over theory.
Thank you Professor Mizuno

good interesting read

I enjoyed reading this. I felt a little overwhelmed at times with the equations, but most of the book is very easy to comprehend, even for the average student interested in nuclear transmutation.
