guardian.co.uk — It seems too good to be true: a new source of near-limitless power that costs virtually nothing, uses tiny amounts of water as its fuel and produces next to no waste. If that does not sound radical enough, how about this: the principle behind the source turns modern physics on its head.

Well I hope its true, but before I believe it Id like to see some proof to back it up. Too bad the arcticle diddnt mention what journals actually reviewed the research.

The only way to do this is to have a larger mass in the nucleus of the atom. There would be a constant force repelling the electron away from the nucleus, and a counter force of gravity and strong force pulling it in. I'm guessing that this is impossible, or there was more mass (probably many neutrons) in the nucleus.

"Intresting, if it is a few months away we should be hearing more about it."well...in the past few weeks I have seen several stories submitted to digg that showed up on msnbc and fox newscasts 3-4 days later"Finally I can install a Mr. Fusion in my car."+1 for a great reference

"To clear up some earlier confusion, the natural state of hydrogen is H_2 (that is, two hydrogen atoms bonded together), molecular hydrogen. The vast majority of hydrogen in the universe exists in this state."Actually, the vast majority of Hydrogen in the universe exists as just H. In stars, it's a bit too hot for actual molecular bonds to form for any length of time, so the majority of the star is just H, no H_2.

I kind of believe it. I think if it is true you will never hear about it. The oil companies will do all they can. Eric Wilson

If true, it will make the communication revolution (internet, geo sats) look like a Pet Rock fad.If not, the dude will be just another crack pot grad student that sits at the back of seminar auditoriums trying to get freshman to listen to him.

For those who throw out this theory because it's in The Guardian here is a better article about it.<a class="user" href="http://physicsweb.org/articles/news/9/8/4">http://physicsweb.org/articles/news/9/8/4</a>
