A great deal of funding was also made available overseas. Pons and Fleischmann were asked to resign their University positions, but quickly found work in a laboratory set up for them in France by the Toyota company of Japan. This laboratory has recently shut down because the Japanese have redirected their approach to the field. At the very same conference, the French Atomic Energy Agency reported a successful duplication of a Pons and Fleischmann experiment using a technique called boil-off, which is a cold fusion cell that operates near boiling temperature. The French Agency's test results showed significant generation of excess heat.
Work continues in the United States as well as in other countries.
Several companies and laboratories that are making some of the most organized efforts are considered in our next discussion. If you are following this narrative in a linear fashion, next is a discussion of some of the work being done. They are hyperlinked when possible. Please email any suggestions or questions you have.
