From Peter Gluck's EGO OUT blog: A VETERAN’S VOICE: Interview with Professor YEONG E. KIM
It is a self-assumed task of this blog(ger) to provide young LENR researchers with the best information available regarding the field. Till now they have received mainly technological principles and managerial best practice due to my own limitations, but now I am appealing to a good friend- who is a world class specialist and authority in those branches of physics that are bound the very core of LENR, nuclear physics and solid state physics... Professor Yeong E. Kim from the Purdue University has generously accepted to help, first with the following interview.
Yeong Kim got his diploma in
physics in 1959, the same year when I became a chemical engineer. 30 years
later when he was already an internationally known theoretical physicist and I
was a very locally known technologist, we have reacted very similarly to the
advent of Cold Fusion. The risks were much greater for him but he remained
faithful to this cause till today.
Q1: Dear Yeong, can you please tell us about your
moments of awakening, illumination, scientific revelations to the truth of cold fusion?
As you
know, John Huizenga dismissed the Fleischmann-Pons effect (F-P effect) as the
scientific fiasco of the century [John R. Huizenga, Cold Fusion: the
Scientific Fiasco of the Century, U. Rochester Press (1992)]. He claimed
that three miracles were needed to explain the F-P effect:
(1) suppression of the DD Coulomb
repulsion (Gamow factor) (Miracle #1),
(2) no production of nuclear
products (D+D → n+ 3He, etc.) (Miracle #2), and
(3) the violation of the momentum
conservation in free space (Miracle #3).
The above three violations are known as “three miracles of cold fusion”.
