  Cold fusion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cold fusion researchers say that it could have a substantial economic impact, with advantages over plasma fusion (which has also not yet been developed for practical application) because it produces little ionizing radiation and can be scaled to small devices.
Cold fusion's most significant problem in the eyes of many scientists is that theories describing nuclear fusion can not explain how a cold fusion reaction could occur at relatively low temperatures, and that there is currently no accepted theory to explain cold fusion.
Cold fusion researchers claim that cold fusion is suppressed, and that skeptics suffer from pathological disbelief.

 Ninth International Conference on Cold Fusion (ICCF9) Beijing China
The first International Conference on Cold Fusion of the twenty-first century (ICCF9) was held at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China from May 19 through May 25, 2002.
The chairman for ICCF10 is cold fusion theorist Prof.
The concluding day of the conference was largely devoted to reviewing what ICCF9 had accomplished and "where to go from here." The perennial discussion arose concerning the two-humped distribution of numbers of cold fusion researchers plotted on a graph against their ages.

Cold fusion, the "miracle or mistake," that was announced at the University of Utah by Drs.
Fusion is the opposite of fission, which is the release of energy by splitting heavy uranium or plutonium nuclei.
Cold fusion releases enormous quantities of energy in the form of heat, not radiation, as in hot fusion.

 Fusione fredda FAQ - parte 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Cold fusion effects have not always been easy to reproduce, but that does not make them any less real.
However, because cold fusion seems to be an even more radical departure from conventional physics wisdom than thigh temperature superconductivity, and because of the past reproducibility problems of cold fusion, the latter has not been accepted as readily as high-temperature superconductivity.
Cold fusion research is not "Big Science" - it does not need massive installations, just relatively small-scale dedicated work at national laboratories, universities, and in private industries, which are already beginning to enter the field in the U.S., despite discouragement from officialdom.

 Cold Fusion
Cold Fusion is the fusion of nuclei at temperatures approaching room temperature.
This was followed by a mass denial from "establishment" science (particularly the now increasingly defunct "hot fusion enthusiasts"), and replication of the phenomena in laboratories which had the technical competence and took the time to properly conduct the experiment.
But the overall furor generated by the initial news conference and its immediate aftermath was enough to send any rational cold fusion scientist underground for many years.

 Cold Fusion
Remember that the sun runs on fusion, and that the very outside of the sun (far from where the fusion is happening) is at a temperature of 5000 degrees.
Obviously because the potential payoff is huge - if all you need to get fusion energy is heavy water and some palladium (plus electricity and a bunch of trace ions in the water) then you the worlds energy problems are solved, at least for the next 500 years or so...
As far as I know there is no widely accepted theory that suggests any way in which cold fusion could potentially be possible, and NONE of the experiments has produced more energy than it took in over time.

At the Fourth International Conference on Cold Fusion, M. Rabinowitz of the Electric Power Research Institute, Y.E. Kime of Purdue, and V.A. Chechin and V.A. Tsarev of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported that four miracles were required if the process of cold fusion to progressed by known reactions.
The process of cold fusion did not fit into any theoretical model, and most of the national laboratories were not able to replicate the results.
The "cold fusion" process was producing real energy; however, it was becoming clear that the process is not one of conventional nuclear fusion.

 Physics Today April 2004: DOE Warms to Cold Fusion
Cold fusion die-hards say their data from the intervening 15 years merit a reevaluation-- and a place at the table with mainstream science.
About 150 people attended the conference; the number of people working on cold fusion or, as some of them prefer to call it, low- energy nuclear reactions, is perhaps several hundred worldwide, most of them outside the US.
The main application that cold fusion enthusiasts foresee following from their work is a clean source of energy; transmutation of nuclear waste and tritium production to augment weapons are also on their list.

 Review of the Sixth International Conference On Cold Fusion (ICCF6)
Overall, my impression of the field of cold fusion as is represented in these big international physics conferences is.
The whole program is in danger of being shut down, and cold fusion in Japan -- the last bastion of large scale research -- is in imminent danger of collapse.
If you are looking for the people to blame for the demise of cold fusion, in the U.S. you can point the finger at the pathological skeptics and the DOE.

 “Pulling the Pins on Voodoo Science”   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
That’s what we’re talking about.  But because of the problems with trying to contain fusion reactions operating at millions of degrees, the saying was coined: “Fusion is the energy source of the future… and always will be.”
One of the standard ways to test cause and effect is to perform what we call baseline or control experiments.  These experiments are extremely important, because they can identify false cause-effect leads.
Beyond the lack of control experiments, we have an even more serious problem.  All known fusion reactions of the sort proposed by Pons and Fleischmann produce particles or rays which can be measured—neutrons or protons or gamma rays, tritium or helium.

This proceedings includes papers that were presented at the 10th International Conference on Cold Fusion held in Cambridge, MA, in August 2003.
Following the initial announcements by Martin Fleischmann and Stan Pons in 1989 of an excess heat effect in electrolysis experiments with PdD, both theoretical and experimental work has been pursued by scientists seeking to understand the excess heat and related phenomena.
Because of the success of this conference, DoE conducted a review of cold fusion in 2004.
