Free Energy? - or- Who's Dr. Lo?

BREAKING NEWS: Cold Fusion: China's Olympic Torch


HONG KONG, home to nuclear physicist Prof. Lisa Lo, the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology and limitless energy.

As if scripted from a Hollywood movie, Dr. Lo is set to throw the switch on proof that cold fusion does exist--a room-temperature nuclear reactor capable of powering an entire city.

Dr. Lo's illuminating announcement entitled, "Free Energy," has been chosen to highlight the opening ceremony at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing on August 8.

As not to prematurely divulge the details of her discovery, Dr. Lo has offered this explanation of cold fusion:

When a plasma is used to produce fusion between two deuterons, the process is called “hot fusion”. This reaction is known to emit neutrons and produce tritium.

Previously, this reaction could not be initiated without application of significant energy because the charge barrier between nuclei, called the Coulomb barrier, could not be overcome any other way.

Proof now exists that, without energy or application of neutrons, a nuclear active environment (NAE) can be initiated by utilizing a deuterium cathode. When fusion of deuterium takes place in this environment, the main product is ordinary helium.

"Still in the dark? Don't worry. Everyone will see the light soon enough," jokes Dr. Lo.

This can be stupendous, if true and repeatable. I wonder if China will let it out for everyone to use? It would tick off the oil companies and OPEC to no end...although I'm sure there'd be a period of time when their oil is still of primary importance.

I think I'll start monitoring the price of oil and see if it doesn't start coming down in the next few days/weeks.

Thanks for the heads-up on this one, C! ;-)

Friends, Please don't make any financial decisions re: cold fusion until you look closely at Prof. Lisa Lo!

haha, so is this an april fools joke or not? I still can't tell.. Thanks for the comment post on my page. Definitely stop back for more advice on promoting blogs. I'm trying to get a good reader base to give advice to.

LOL. Wow. That's the meanest April Fools I've ever read. I was reading it, thinking, "Holy shit! Could this be real? Why isn't this in every front page across the world? Where's my damn cell phone!?"
Then I read your shout carefully...
Funny article!
