Catalyzed fusion… hype, or reality?

Stumbled across this article this morning…

[link to deleted page deleted]

A Gibraltar-based company specializing in catalyzed fusion has achieved a significant breakthrough in power generation. ENG8, which has been developing a range of catalyst fusion reactors called EnergiCells, achieved a world-first milestone in the race for fusion energy.

Their system, based on low energy nuclear reactions (LENR) technology, is reported to be capable of operating indefinitely without any external input power.


Color me highly skeptical, even if they state that another firm has validated the claim.

The company also claimed that previous independent validations, carried out by IEP (Portugal) and other renowned test laboratories, have also proved that EnergiCells produce net energy with safe levels of emissions that are well within EU limits.”

This feels like another “cold fusion” not-quite-scam.

Thoughts?

Quick Addition -- here is a link to the specific part of those Forbidden Topics that covers LENR:

It seems that the link is now down - interestingengineering has apparently realized they were fooled.
