Dates: 2003-08-24 - 2003-08-29 9.9 (2 decades 1 year ago)
Where: Cambridge, MA, United States Venue: Royal Sonesta Hotel
Description
ICCF10, took place from Sunday, August 24 through Friday, August 29, 2003 at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge, Massachusetts, less than one mile from MIT; there were also demonstrations of excess heat-producing LENR experiments conducted at MIT. From the early days of cold fusion, my wayward alma matter MIT became known as a "bastion of skepticism," though several MIT professors adopted a positive, open-minded stance and two have been involved in research and theory since the beginning. (See my editorial "Cold Fusion Returns to MIT," Infinite Energy, #47, pp. 7-10, and also my 55-page report "MIT and Cold Fusion" available in PDF format at http://www.infinite-energy.com/, and in IE #24, pp. 64-119.) According to professor Peter L. Hagelstein, a long-time LENR theorist from the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), who was Chair of ICCF10, some 150 attendees gathered for all or part of the intense week-long program: scientific talks, poster sessions, demonstrations of excess heat experiments at Hagelstein's EECS office, and one other demonstration conducted remotely in Texas and viewed live via Internet connection during a plenary session. The very strong demonstration component was perhaps the most striking departure of ICCF10 from most previous ICCFs, though Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (CETI) of Sarasota, Florida presented a strong electrolytic excess heat demonstration at ICCF5 in Monte Carlo, Monaco (1995) and Dr. R. Notoya conducted a less strong demonstration of excess heat at ICCF3 in Nagoya, Japan (1992).
