Draft Agenda as of Jan. 20, 2010
RDECOM Power & Energy TFT
LENR Workshop
11 February 2010
Army Research Labs (ARL), Adelphi, MD
The pressing need for new alternative sources of power for both installation and tactical needs should be of no surprise. This Workshop has generated considerable interest at both Army OSD and DOE. The Workshop’s goal is to supply the Army P&E Leadership Team (and subsequently the Army leadership) with information on the LENR process, to detail the state of the art, to identify feasibility of research efforts to validate or mature the LENR technologies, and to guide possible investments by the Army in this area. Subject matter experts in the fields such as reproducibility, calorimetry, materials, and triggering reactions will discuss their research and findings. After the presentations, we will hold a discussion forum which will probe questions about the current state of LENR and what role the Army's research labs may play in this area.
