Are we close to cold fusion?

There is currently no accepted theoretical model that would allow cold fusion to occur. In 1989, two electrochemists, Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons, reported that their apparatus had produced anomalous heat (“excess heat”) of a magnitude they asserted would defy explanation except in terms of nuclear processes.

Where is cold fusion now?

“Most cold fusion research today is done in Japan. The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, a government organization, sponsors the New Hydrogen Energy Laboratory in Sapporo.

What is happening with nuclear fusion?

Nuclear Fusion reactions power the Sun and other stars. In a fusion reaction, two light nuclei merge to form a single heavier nucleus. The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei. The leftover mass becomes energy.

Are there any fusion reactors operating now?

The ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) project currently under construction in Cadarache, France will be the largest tokamak when it operates in the 2020s. The Chinese Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR) is a tokamak which is reported to be larger than ITER, and due for completion in 2030.

What happens if fusion goes wrong?

So if something goes wrong with the reactor, the fusion reaction will simply stop. And unlike fission, fusion power doesn’t use require fuel like uranium that produces long-lived, highly radioactive waste.

Is fusion hard to achieve?

It is expected that fusion could meet humanity’s energy needs for millions of years. Future fusion reactors will not produce high activity, long lived nuclear waste, and a meltdown at a fusion reactor is practically impossible.

Is cold fusion for real?

Cold fusion is real, claim scientists. Cold fusion, a revolutionary source of energy — discovered 25 years ago but was cold-shouldered by mainstream physicists — is now staging a comeback thanks…

Is cold fusion heating up?

Swiftly labeled a lost cause by mainstream physics, attempts to spark cold fusion are now once again heating up, thanks to a stealth effort by the U.S. tech giant Google. In a review paper published in Nature on Monday, U.S. and Canadian researchers funded by Google publicly unveiled their efforts to reassess cold fusion.

What is a cold fusion bomb?

A rack of cold fusion bombs used in the plan to dupe the Harvest Queen and destroy her ship. Cold fusion weapons were nuclear arms developed by incorporating alien technology to trigger a fusion reaction that resulted in the release of massive amounts of energy.
