I was interested in the 28MeV figure. The claim is that this amount of energy is released in the conversion of 2 deuterium atoms into one helium atom.
Let’s scale this up to common quantities. Let’s take a “mole” of deuterium molecules, D2. A mole, as you may recall from high school, is 6.022 x 10**23 molecules, which for deuterium weighs about 4 grams. If you multiply 28MeV times this number (i.e., you convert an entire mole of D2 into helium), you get an enormous number of MeV, which ultimately converts to about 70,000 KwH, or about $7,000 worth of energy at current rates (10 cents/KwH) from 1/7 of an ounce of heavy hydrogen.
Let me repeat, complete cold fusion of 4 grams of D2 to helium produces 70,000 KwH of energy. By comparison, the combustion of 4 grams of gasoline produces about 0.006 KwH of energy. You can see from this that cold fusion has enormous potential, and this explains why someone one suggested that you could run a car for a million miles on a few ounces of cold fusion “fuel”.
Thank you, Kevmo, for bringing this to our attention.
