 PowerPedia:Cold fusion - PESWiki
Cold Fusion is perhaps the most controversial scientific claim of the 20th Century (and there was no shortage of controversial scientific claims during this time period).
By 2004, the cold fusion controversy had thawed to the point that the U.S. Department of Energy was willing to re-examine cold fusion claims, after 15 years of ignoring them, and concluded their reassessment with a report (http://freeenergynews.com/Directory/ColdFusion/DOE_Report_2004/) in late 2004.
Years after the original cold fusion announcement, thousands of experiments have been performed and some preliminary conclusions have been drawn about the exact materials, ratios and conditions that are necessary to achieve cold fusion in a typical aqueous experimental setup.

 [No title]
The rate of nuclear fusion in molecular hydrogen is then governed by the quantum-mechanical tunneling through that barrier, or equivalently, the probability of finding the two nuclei at zero separation.
In muon-catalyzed fusion, the internuclear separation is reduced by a factor of approximately 200 (the muon to electron mass ratio), and the nuclear fusion rate correspondingly increases by roughly eighty orders of magnitude [1].
Thus, while the fusion rates observed so far are small, the discovery of cold nuclear fusion in condensed matter opens the possibility at least of a new path to fusion energy.

 Cold Fusion Research: Models And Potential Benefits
Some researchers continue to see their results as purely fusion based, others have come up with terms such as "new hydrogen energy," or "chemically assisted nuclear fusion" or "cold nuclear fission." The biggest conflict appears to be designing a theory in which the nuclear Coulomb barrier is overcome even at low temperatures.
Very high thermal energy prevents the Coulomb forces from deviating their trajectories under conditions of hot fusion, but in metal there is a high concentration of low-thermal-energy protons and electrons at a mean distance of about 2 Angstroms and when exposed to a transient electrical field the probability of the three-body collision increases.
Nuclear interactions can be coherent when the difference in the phases of the wave functions of the compound nucleus states formed by overlap between the itinerant deuteron (neutron) and the lattice deuterons (nuclei) is an integral multiple of 2

 Cold nuclear fusion. Condensed matter nuclear science. Neutrino driven nuclear reactions by dr. Veniamin Filimonov
The hypothesis is based on the novel concept of neutrino suggested by the author, according to that a neutrino is a quantum of so-called torsion radiation, to be yielded under proceeding of any irreversible process, to be emitted or absorbed under phase transitions in matter and to be generated easily using appropriate devices...
Filimonov: The term “neutrino - driven nuclear reactions” (NDR) is usually attributed to some reactions of direct or reverse b-decay having, as a rule, extremely small section and applied for detection of neutrino (antineutrino).
We consider, contrary, that great majority of intensely flowing reactions of b-decay, nuclear fission and partly of fusion, formerly described without participation of neutrino on an inlet, are a neutrino-driven ones.

 Coming in out of the cold: nuclear fusion, for real | csmonitor.com
Fusion is a tremendous source of energy; the reason we're not using it to meet our everyday energy needs is that it's very hard to get a fusion reaction going.
The whole trick with fusion is you've got to get protons close enough together for the strong force to overcome their electrical repulsion and merge them together into a nucleus.
Scientists have gotten fusion to occur in the laboratory before, but for the most part, they've tried to mimic conditions inside the sun by whipping hydrogen gas up to extreme temperatures or slamming atoms together in particle accelerators.

To test whether these fields could indeed cause nuclear fusion, Putterman and UCLA colleagues Brian Naranjo and James Gimzewski first bathed a crystal of lithium tantalate in deuterium gas.
Fusion science is littered with hype and over-optimistic claims, but Putterman has convinced his peers that something interesting is going on.
The prospect of a desktop alternative is a powerful incentive to continue the research and Putterman’s team hopes to increase the yield by operating at lower temperatures and by using an array of crystals.

Experimental nuclear fusion reactors have historically required large, multibillion-dollar machines, but sonofusion devices might be built for a fraction of the cost and theoretically could be an unlimited source of clean energy.
World nuclear capacity is projected to rise from 361 gigawatts in 2003 to 438 gigawatts in 2030, with significant declines in capacity projected only for Europe, where several countries have either plans or mandates to phase out nuclear power, or where old reactors are expected to be retired and not replaced.

 SCIENCE AND RESEARCH OF THE FUTURE
Scientists at the sixth annual Cold Fusion Conference held in Hokkaido, Japan, reported the hardest evidence to date of cold nuclear fusion — a nuclear reaction produced at close to room temperatures.
The ‘discovery’ of cold nuclear fusion was reported world-wide in May 1989 when two electrochemists working at the University of Utah in the US announced they had succeeded in producing a nuclear reaction at temperatures of 30-100° Centigrade.
The cold nuclear fusion process, by definition, did not require extremely high temperatures, such as the millions of degrees needed in ‘hot’ nuclear fusion experiments.

 Really Cold Fusion, Notes on a Different Approach
If this is true, the most effective cold fusion processes should occur, not in substrates presently being electrolytically loaded with deuterium from heavy water at room temperature or higher, but quite possibly in substrates loaded from liquid deuterium or in pre-loaded substrates immersed in liquid deuterium for use.
On the other hand, if the primary effect is a sharing or delocalization of nuclear components, there may be particular vibrational or rotational modes of the system or its component atoms which favor this sharing, even though random vibration or rotation in all possible modes (i.e., higher temperature) disfavors it.
It might well be possible to covert energy from fusion events directly into electricity with a thermodynamic efficiency much better than is possible for the heat engines now proposed (most of which propose using fusion to boil heavy water and drive a turbine).
