Accession ID: 5
Date: March 21, 1994
In Too Close to the Sun, CBC reporter Jerry Thompson returns to the subject of cold fusion, following the CBC’s earlier documentary, The Secret Life of Cold Fusion (aired June 24, 1993).
Thompson recounts the history of cold fusion over the preceding five years, covering the original announcement by Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons, the subsequent excitement, and then furore that enveloped the pair. Thompson then travels to visit Fleischmann and Pons at their laboratory at IMRA in France - a purpose built facility funded by the Toyota Corporation. The pair provide details of their ongoing effort to scale up their experiments and build commercial power cells with improved efficiency.
Fleischmann shares that by June, 1990, their group was approaching the energy densities achieved in fast breeder reactors - over a kilowatt per cubic centimeter. Fleischmann and Pons reiterate that the reaction can only be of a nuclear origin.
The program contains interviews with Michael McKubre, an electrochemist at Stanford Research Institute International, physicist John Huizenga, Robert Shaubach of Pennsylvanian defense contractor Thermacore, and Fred Jaeger, the president of ENECO Corporation. In addition, the program reports on the Japanese Government’s funding of the New Hydrogen Energy laboratory. The NHE laboratory involved Toyota, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Toshiba, as well as a number of university groups.
Finally, the documentary returns to France, where Fleischmann and Pons reiterate the validity of their work, their conviction in their results and their desire to continue their research.

I was a senior physics major and built a calorimeter. There was ~20% excess heat with heavy water, but tracked it down to the difference in latent heat of vaporization for heavy water
