I don't think that it needs any introduction... :)

<h1>Cold Fusion Day at MIT</h1>
<p>

*****NOTE WELL: The room assigment for the MIT Cold Fusion IAP program has
changed from 10-105 (the Bush room) to Room 6-120, the Physics Lecture Hall<p>

************************  COLD FUSION DAY  ************************<br>
                              at MIT<p>


                         COLD FUSION
          A Massachusetts Institute of Technology
                        IAP  Program
              Video-Lecture-Demonstration Program<p>

_______________________________________________________<br>
</pre>
January 21, 1995, Saturday 9AM-5PM <br>
Room 6-120, Physics Lecture Hall<br>
First floor, main building of MIT.<p>

(Enter at 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, the main entrance of MIT. Go
down the "Infinite Corridor" straight ahead, and turn right at the end to a
new corridor. A few doors down this corridor is Room 6-120)<br>

Cold fusion is the generic term for the production of excess power from
electrochemical cells, typically involving heavy water with palladium, or
light water with nickel. Nuclear products and emissions have also been
reported, such as tritium, neutrons, helium-4, and charged particles. New
non-electrochemical physical systems have also been discovered that evidence
significant excess power and associated nuclear products.  It is difficult to
imagine a greater reversal of scientific fortunes than what has been emerging
in the cold fusion field. As the literature of cold fusion expands, the
startling phenomena are of continuing interest to experimentalists,
theoreticians, inventors, and entrepreneurs. In this day of lectures,
discussions, and startling videos, the focus will be on the history, science,
technology, and business of cold fusion.<p>

Recent developments in commercial-level power production will be discussed at
this meeting. The program organizers are also negotiating to have one or more
demonstration units in operation at MIT this day.<p>

* It is probable that the company in charge of the first U.S. Patent granted
for cold fusion, the Patterson patent, 5,318,675, will be there to show a
video tape of its cells' operation. Also, an actual cell should be there too.<p>

* James Griggs of Hydro Dynamics, Inc. will discuss new evidence (photographic
and photo-micrographic) of extremely high temperatures on the rotor surfaces
of Hydrosonic Pumps.<p>

* Dr. Peter Graneau will discuss "Anomalous Forces in Water Plasma Explosions"
and will show a video tape of experiments<p>

* Professor Peter Hagelstein (MIT Dept. of EE and CS) will discuss Neutron
Transfer Reactions<p>

* Professor Keith Johnson (MIT Dept. of Materials Science) will discuss his
theoretical work, and progress on the cold fusion movie "Excess heat," which
he scripted and which will be produced by a major Hollywood studio for release
in early 1996.<p>

* Graduate student Ray Conley (MIT Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics) will
discuss his light water excess heat experiments.<p>

* AND, much more -- some big surprises.<p>

Maybe this will create more questions on the subject.

Has anyone read the cold fusion FAQ recently?
