The Science of the Cold Fusion Phenomenon
by Hideo Kozima

Publisher: Elsevier Science
ISBN: 0-08-045110-1
Format: Hardcover, 330 pages

Hideo Kozima, a nuclear physicist from Shizuoka, Japan, who has proposed his own model to explain the "cold fusion" phenomena, has published a second book on "cold fusion." According to the publisher, Elsevier, the book is targeted for physicists, energy researchers and mechanical engineers.


Blurb (and quotations) from the back of the book:

From this natural phenomenon which previously seemed impossible to you, you should realize that there may be others which you do not yet know. Do not conclude from your apprenticeship that there is nothing left for you to learn, but that you still have an infinite amount to learn.
—B. Pascal, Pensées

In 1989, the discovery of the now-infamous “cold fusion process” was announced at a press conference on the [day after] a scientific paper about the discovery was accepted for publication in a scientific journal. This discovery was greeted with great interest across the globe because of its potential application as a greener, more environmentally friendly energy source and because such a phenomenon is impossible, according to accepted theory. At the time, the physics and chemistry of the cold fusion phenomenon were too complicated to be understood based on current thinking.

In this book, a traditional approach is developed to explain the cold fusion phenomenon, using models and quantum dynamics in tandem. The results show elements of the new science of the cold fusion phenomenon, where neutrons in solids seem to be a key element in an interdisciplinary region of traditional solid-state physics, nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry.

Facts which at first seem improbable will, even on scant explanation, drop the cloak which has hidden them and stand forth in naked and simple beauty.
—Galileo Galilei
