A quiet cold fusion revolution started to take place in 1991 when the Office
of Naval Research proposed a collaborative effort between the San Diego,
China Lake, and DC laboratories. Within a few years, Dr. Ashraft Imam
produced 8 overunity experiments out of 9 with pure palladium. Then, a couple
years later, Dr. Melvin Miles succeeded with 10 out of 11 experiments during
Japan’s New Hydrogen Energy Program. Now, a comprehensive report of ten years
of research has finally been issued by the Navy, which admits almost
continual ONR funding of Professor Martin Fleischmann starting in the 1980’s.
The report’s title is Thermal and Nuclear Aspects of the Pd/D2O System,
Volume 1: A Decade of Research at Navy Laboratories (Tech Rep #1862), edited
by Szpak and Mosier-Boss. The Navy Report states that during the middle 1970’
s, extreme compression of deuterium and hydrogen experiments in the US and
Soviet Union were "a key element in the initiation of this research project."
One surprise in the report is that Oliphant, Harteck & Lord Rutherford
demonstrated back in 1934 that a nuclear reaction can occur in condensed
matter (Nature, 133, 1934, p. 413). In the next decade, Fleischmann (1947)
was already studying the Pd/H system ? "a most extraordinary example of an
electrolyte" ? and looking for ways to compress deuterium into palladium.
In 1968, Mizuno was also motivated and wrote a graduate thesis on implanting
deuterons into metals (Mizuno, Nuclear Transmutation: Reality of Cold Fusion,
p.114 - order from IRI).In the Foreword, Head Scientist, Frank Gordon notes
that Dr. Miles "showed that a correlation exists between the rate of excess
enthalpy generation and the quantity of helium in the gas stream.
Such a correlation is the direct evidence of the nuclear origin of the
Fleischmann-Pons effect." Co-author, Dr. Scott Chubb told IRI that the Navy
foresees running a car for 100,000 miles on a loaded cold fusion cell. Volume
1 of the Navy Report is about 121 pages (3.5 Meg) and available online:

Volume 2 is a much larger ( 45 Meg ), data report on Fleischmann’s work but
also available online at :

It is noted that the State Department’s only nuclear scientist, Peter
Zimmerman, tried to stop the publication of the Navy Report but to no avail.
