Black History: 1968 Olympics

Cold fusion? No. Combustion of hydrogen? Yes. The idea of cold fusion is fusing (not combusting) hydrogen with another hydrogen at room temperatures, resulting in helium and tons of heat. What is desired is only a litle or no energy in, with a lot of energy out. He's putting in a lot of energy and probably getting only a little out. Definitely not enough steam to run a turbine to power the variac.

i am still skeptical if this redneck american can do it in his garage how the hell can all the top scientists not do it with all their government funding????


stupid american!!!!

Totally agree man! people give you the thumbs down because they are ignorant! funny how dissent and ignorance go hand in hand!

by High and Low energy current, do you mean DC and AC???

"Cold Fusion Memo to the White House"

Uhh... That is a ColdFusionReactor or somthing?
It reminds me how funny thing is to electrolyse salted water with hicurrent and/or hivoltage...
...Thats not CFR just interesting lights casted by arcs in the bubbles XD

I did this holding two pieces of pencil lead and touching them under water with electricity running through it. It made really bright light...

This is simple....it's still using more energy than it's creating... it's burning off the hydrogen, which makes it not cold...

Just looks like someone has found an elaborate method of displaying a short circuit (you can see this from the power meter going up to 600W from high resistance, then dropping dramatically when resistance drops and the spark is created)

How energy was put in, and how much came out?

I'm sure all the people who failed junior science are impressed. But I'm not.

Cold fusion? making hydrogen? NO! braking and remaking water? YEP! just wasting power and demonstrating complete lack of knowledge.

while this reaction is occuring, why dont you puncture it with a high volocity led round, lets say 357?? would it end the process?

I must be missing something. Sure, if you dump many watts of electrical energy into water, and it's ionized with potassium hydroxide, you'll heat the water up. The effect with the rod is pretty, but ? Where's the "free energy"? There's not even an effort being made to compare energy in and out.

why dont u light the gas so we can see it work ?

umm....also called plasma electrolysis...and only about 10% efficient, so it would not be a good form of alternative energy.

It's the combination of atoms to make larger atoms.

This currently happens in the Sun, where Hydrogen atoms are combined to make Helium. In the process, this reaction gives of a huge amount of energy.

If we could figure out how could achieve the same kind of reaction on earth (at much lower temperatures than the Sun), it'd be a great power source.

I'm not quite sure how this experimental set-up tries to achieve anything like that, though (but I'm no expert).

Can sum1 fill me in? I dont no much about this and i would like to know what exactly is Cold Fusion?

So in this paper he recognizes that efficiency is just 10%, even less, which for me was obvious from the very begining...Low voltage electrolysis gives high efficiency! Only!!!

Mizuno is the most scientific guy among all these plasma electrolysis charlatans. In internet, together with Kanarev, he claims that plasma electrolysis is a "cold fusion", and all this mistery magic stuff! They even published on-line article together. Mizuno wants to show that he is a scientific guy, and his paper was even accepted by scientific jornal (reference above). And of cause he could not lie, it's not internet garbage, real data only.

Kanarev and all other "Plasma Electrolysis guys" are cheating us. Light and sparks look good, however plasma electrolysis needs high voltage, more than 100 V. It decreases efficiency of energy conversion from electrical power to chemical work greatly! Efficiency of plasma electrolysis is below 10%. Here is a reference for Mizuno's paper: Japanese Journal of Applied Physics Vol. 44, No. 1A, 2005, pp. 396--401.

The only way to fuse atoms is to overcome very strong nuclear forces that bind atoms together and keep them seperate. Stars do it by way of intense pressure. H-bombs use intense heat. When heat-pressure is high enough hydrogen atoms essentially "melt". Seeking stability these atomic components recombine into hellium. Excess matter is converted to energy. A "matrix of palladium" will store 900 times its mass in hydrogen which has no significance in fusion reactions

I thought cold fusion is all about placing hydrogen ion (proton) into a well structured Palladium matrix to 'force' it to fuse or something..

Whatever is going on in that jar, it looks great!

ok so how much energy are you getting out of this exactly? and how much do you use to get it started?

Dude Fusion happens at over 100 million degrees. The idea of Cold Fusion dates from the 1950s. Replace the atoms outer electron shell with antimatter. This changes one of the nuclear forces repulsive characteristics, then Fusion can theoretically happen at aprox. 7000 degrees
