cold fusion refers to a safe, clean, decentralized energy source that has no harmful byproducts and could supply 100% of our energy needs, replacing dirty energy sources such as oil, gas, and coal forever.<\/p>\n

originally, cold fusion was the term given to the energy effect announced by electrochemistry professors\u2019 stanley pons and martin fleischmann in 1989. this phenomenon produced energies unable to be explained by the conventional electro-chemical processes, but by fusion reactions.<\/p>\n

conventional theories of fusion reactions dictate that they occur only under conditions of extreme heat and pressure, like inside of our sun and the stars. the pons and fleischmann effect was produced inside a beaker on a table top at room temperature.<\/p>\n

their original experiment used two electrodes of palladium and platinum immersed in heavy water, a type of water containing deuterium and an isotope of hydrogen found in sea-water. when a small current was applied to the electrodes, more heat energy was created than electrical energy put in. thus the designation of a source of energy.<\/p>\n

after the initial announcement in 1989, controversy ensued when some scientists could not reproduce the results. that, together with the fact that the effect did not fit in to conventional theory, led many scientists to disregard the phenomenon. however, some scientists did reproduce the effect. it is these scientists who have continued to refine this process over the past twenty years, determining the conditions for success with astounding results.<\/p>\n

as of 2009, some labs are producing tens of megawatts from 0.3 grams of palladium. energy output currently ranges from 10-25 times the energy input. not half bad!<\/p>\n

now, the term cold fusion is being used to describe a number of low-temperature nuclear reactions, including variations on the pons-fleischmann design, any of which have the possibility to be earth\u2019s dominant energy source for the future \u2013 clean and plentiful, with no radioactive waste.
\nrenewed attention to alternative energies due to the many crises rooted in burning hydrocarbons is finally increasing the financial support for this research.
\nif funding for this technology increased, within the time it takes to build a nuclear power plant in the us, approximately 8-10 years, we could possibly have a safe, clean, plentiful energy source to power the future.<\/p>\n
