Info on cold fusion

[buzneg]

Some students have achieved plasma fusion, but so far it takes more energy then it puts out. I haven't seen that movie.

I have just started to study some cold fussion stuff and really dont understand alot of it.The nuclear side of things gets to be hard to sipher.I like the water side of things and study that alot.Thers something about super heated steam ( 500 F) and radiation spontaniously dissociating the water that's interesting.
One guy doing cold fussion type of things is Eckels and his WO /00/25320 patent is interesting.My favorite is from page 32.
One day cold fussion may be as common as a light bulb...who knows....lol

In another thread I posted this:

G'day all,

The article below was posted on the newsgroup; sci.physics. fusion.

If someone has some palladium wire around and access to
some hydrogen this would be a simple experiment.

"Cold Fusion
The theory of cold fusion is that when hydrogen is adsorbed into
palladium
metal the hydrogen atoms get mixed with the electron "gas" in the
metal so
that the protons are able to pack close together so that meson
tunnelling
occurred. This makes a proton-proton atom (it is at a lower energy
level
than two separated protons) which then emits a positron to form
deuterium
which sits at a lower energy level level than the two hydrogen nuclei
it
came from.

The deuterons fuse in a similar way to form helium at a lower energy
again.

The positrons emitted combine with electrons emitting two gamma
photons at
the annihilation frequency the recoil of the nuclei formed make the
reaction
hot and some gamma photons escape.

If you put hydrogen in a tube with palladium filament suspended
inside after
a few days the filament glows red hot and after a while goes white
hot and
makes a very good lamp.

If I recall, I did this experiment at a government lab, somewhere in
England
in about 1969. I was severely punished for my invention and put on
routine
test work.

They said my invention was "strategic" and I should say nothing for
thirty
years.

Times up!

Chris."



Let's see what comes out of this one

What do you guys think about this, and it is all done without the use of Deuterium.

at 20:30 into this video, a professor describes his unit at the University of Utah. It seems the palladium chathode, and dueterium is the important parts. I think the dueterium may just speed up the process.

I'm very confused with what the chathode is now. In wiki it shows a picture with a positive sign, and electrons flowing from it, does that mean that the positive side of a battery is negatively charged?
