   Is cold fusion possible?
  I personally think it''s not possible, because, well, it doesn''t seem to make sense.  At all.  It''d be nice, though.   
  I reckon it''s *possible* - as in, given enough energy and the proper technology you could, maybe, make hydrogen atoms fuse.If you mean power generation by cold fusion - it''d be cool (npi) but it seems too good to be true, in league with antigravity machines and nigerian ministers with millions of dollars. ;  No. Cold fusion is not possibile, however, Boron based fusion promises to be able to actually produce energy as opposed to just sucking it in like a whore.

Sounds like fun.I really wish I had some way of getting radioactive materials.  I have a whole bunch of things I''d like to experiment with  ;quote:Original post by fractoid  I reckon it''s *possible* - as in, given enough energy and the proper technology you could, maybe, make hydrogen atoms fuse.If you mean power generation by cold fusion - it''d be cool (npi) but it seems too good to be true, in league with antigravity machines and nigerian ministers with millions of dollars.  "Given enough energy" is precisely what makes cold fusion no longer "cold," as far as I know.   ;quote:Original post by fractoid  ... maybe, make hydrogen atoms fuse...Hydrogen atoms fuse all the time. Like in the sun, or hydrogen bombs.;  IIRC, Cold Fusion has already been implemented. ;  Gar! I reread this post like 80 times, wondering why it didnt make sense. Im thinking, what the hell are they on about?!!?then after 10 minutes...''oh, they mean coldfusion the POWER source, not cold fusion the website development tool!''Ill just go sit in the corner now.... ;quote:Original post by boolean  Gar!

You know you are a geek when... ;quote:cows:"Given enough energy" is precisely what makes cold fusion no longer "cold," as far as I know. Ah, but *given enough energy* one could compress hydrogen arbitrarily much while keeping its temperature constant... although I guess that, after it has fused, due to the nature of the fusion process, it will no longer be cold, as such.
