Fleischmann to Work on Commercial Fusion Heater
deeptrace writes "California company D2Fusion has announced they are hiring Dr. Martin Fleischmann (of 'Pons and Fleischmann' fame). The company belives that they can produce a commercial fusion based home heating prototype within a year. They are also looking at other applications, such as using it as a heat source for a commercially available Stirling electrical generator."
...and vapour(ware) in two years ?!?
like a cell lithium laptop battery?
My first though was "What is it, April 1st?" heat a home with fusion?? Hmm nope, not april 1st. Rent is not due.
Fleishman is delivering the science which everybody rejected until they no longer could ignore their discovery. This guy has balls. Willing to apply the science while the Doubting Thomas's snicker and lift a finger to type diatribes at him.
Since he's the only guy on the planet (or one of the only two, I suppose) who has the skills to make his experiment function as described.
Who would you hire, one of the hundred or so people who couldn't do it, even though they followed the protocols to the letter?
Rumour has it that this is going to be turned into a challenging console game: "Duke Fusion Forever"

Perhaps it will fuse hydrogen atoms with oxygen atoms - after all, no one said anything about nuclear fusion, now did they ?-)
Forget magic. Any technology distinguishable from divine power is insufficiently advanced.
Does using this fusion-powered home water heater mean I
have to shower with heavy water?
And if you consider intermediary methods of storing energy, fusion power for home heating goes back much further.

Will I be able to play it on my Phanton console?

Check it out. It's suddenly eased my mind. For a minute I thought it was a scam, until I saw the milk float.
I've a fusion powered home heating source already.
It's a south facing window.
I see this time he's publishing his results through http://home.businesswire.com/ in instead of the New York Times. Ahhh, now there's peer review for you.

Do you know what your helium footprint is?
Are you producing excess helium with your basement fusion unit just so you can run your massively overclocked Intel Macintosh on your zero refresh time flat screen monitor at enough frames per second to keep you alive in Duke Nukem Forever?
What about all that helium produced when you're charging up your jet pack or opening the wormhole to your new office in Tokyo?
We're producing so much helium now that that the earth is lighter than its ever been! People are speaking in high pitched voices remote regions of New Jersey, and there are reports of rain falling up! Soon, we could see the earth become light enough that its mass is no longer in balance with its speed and our orbit of the sun increases, causing a new ice age! And its your fault! Stop the madness, burn fossil fuels.

Dunno, but it would be a miracle if he could whip together this product.
How are sites slashdotted when nobody reads TFAs?
If you know what's good for you, you'll shut up before our Men in Black grab you and shove you through the nearest Stargate!
you are making the specious assumption that you understand what specious assumption means.
