Editorial Reviews

Review

Excess Heat is a masterful presentation, clearly reasoned and argued. -- Michael C.H. McKubre, SRI International

Excess Heat is a monumental work of scholarship and will bring this important new phenomenon into the mainstream of science. -- John O'M. Bockris, Texas A&M University, Retired

Excess Heat is not only a superb record of an extraordinary episode, but is also highly entertaining. -- Sir Arthur C. Clarke, from the foreword


Product Description

An investigative report prepared for the general reader to explain how the most extraordinary claim made in the basic sciences during the twentieth century was mistakenly dismissed through errors of scientific protocol. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Important and Very Interesting Book, July 10, 2000
By Carroll Chubb (Saskatoon, SK, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Excess Heat: Why Cold Fusion Research Prevailed (Paperback)
In 1989 two scientists announced that in experiments with hydrogen and metal they had measured heat in excess of what known processes could produce. They hypothesized that fusion of two hydrogen atoms to form helium was the source of the heat. The study of energy production in hydrogen-metal experiments is usually referred to as cold fusion research. Excess Heat probably will be considered the definitive history of the early years of the cold fusion controversy. The author argues convincingly that cold fusion was dismissed as a mistake by most scientific institutions before proper experimental evaluation. Research on cold fusion has continued over the last 10 years and the book shows that the observation of excess heat is now well established by normal scientific criteria. The author presents the scientific evidence, the arguments from both supporters and critics, as well as the findings of experts who visited labs involved in cold fusion research. The author also comments on the psychological factors involved in the cold fusion controversy. In addition, the book touches on evidence from several labs for the formation of nuclear reaction products, such as helium, when the excess heat is produced. Excess Heat is an important book and so interesting that I found it hard to put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, November 29, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Excess Heat: Why Cold Fusion Research Prevailed (Paperback)
This book is a magnum opus on this fascinating field. Together with Fire from Ice : Searching for the Truth Behind the Cold Fusion Furor by Eugene J. Mallove, this is one book you really need to read. Not only because it is highly interesting, and a great work and example of what really good scholarship means, but also because it is very readable, detailed, honest and accurate. It provides a excellent insight about the early days of cold fusion, the confusion, and the later shortsighted, stupid rejection of the entire field by scientific establishment and mainstream media. The latter can be forgiven, they have no knowledge nor interest in the truth, but the scientists are really to blame. As you can see from previous reviews posted here by exceptional great minds like Arthur C. Clarke, prof. Bockris, and others, this is no joke at all. This is pure, honest, cutting edge science. This is the frontier thinking and research that made our age of technology possible. This is the science the world is needing so badly. Mr. Baudette has done a excellent job of presenting the fact and history of this exciting field of science. For people like him, and like Mallove, Clarke, Bockris, Pons & Fleischmann, and many, many others, I personally have the deepest respect. The truth will come out, one day. Let the critics state one desperate non-argument after the other - this is stuff is for real, and it's here to stay, boys and girls! And it's going to change our world for the better - sooner than you think. I wish I could rate this book 6 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Outsider's View of Cold Fusion Research, July 3, 2000
By Ed Wall (Concord, NH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Excess Heat: Why Cold Fusion Research Prevailed (Paperback)
Mr. Beaudette is a retired accomplished electrical engineer who dedicated his mind and free time to investigating this field for years, as I have done. This is a book I would have like to have written because he has put the strange events surrounding the birth of this science into a form that is accessible by anyone with a basic understanding of science. Without evoking the spectre of conspiracies, one can understand how normal human behavior, distorted by the intensity of media attention, mixed with the proprietary requirements of private research, protection of research grants, and other questionable motives has gotten the field into the present situation. Beaudette leaves no room for doubt about the reality of the effects, in a simple way, by focusing on the simplest evidence, reproduced by the best of laboratories. It was truly a pleasurable reading experience.
