Paging Kevmo...
Huh uh. Not me. I ain’t falling for it. I blew up my last shop building with just this kind of nonsense. I’m done with it.
Uh oh. This is going to bring out a lot of angry FReepers.
Looks just like my 8th grade science fair project.
Except mine had a volcano.
Well, HERE is the problem. You just
And in a lab and workshop in Doral west of Miami, Italian physicist Andrea Rossi continues in secret to refine his energy device. In time, it will be discredited as a fraud or will become the first practical application of cold fusion.
Personally, I have been working on Lukewarm Fusion.
Diversity at work...
already discussed in this thread a few days ago:

basically, pretty much anyone can fuse a couple of deuterium molecules at near room temperature:
“Industrial might is not required to build a fusor however, and small demonstration fusors that achieve fusion (but not break-even!) can and have been constructed by amateurs, including high-school students for science projects. Each electrode is spot-welded from hoops of stainless-steel wire (often welding rod) at right angles. The fusor’s electrode dimensions are not very critical. The outer electrode can range from beach-ball to baseball size, and the inner from baseball to ping-pong ball size. Usually such projects use the high-voltage transformer from a neon sign, and high voltage rectifier from a hobby shop. Spark plug wires carry the power, with spark plugs to pass it into the vacuum chamber. Deuterium is available in lecturer bottles and is not a controlled nuclear material. Neutrons can be sensed by measuring induced radioactivity in aluminium foil after moderating the neutrons with wax or plastic, or a plastic neutron luminescent material can be used with a photodetector. The major expense is the vacuum pump. Note that the voltages are dangerous (though less dangerous than a TV), and neutron emissions do present some hazard. The X-ray emissions are less than those of a color TV since the voltages are less. “

Ping me when I can install “Mr. Fusion” in my vehicle.
I even remember their names (I think) without doing a lookup, Fleischman and Pons? I’m still convinced that they were sincere and, like this article suggests, may have found something. If it is real, it could be good for an energy-hungry world!
Oh AND there was a report today of a demonstration of super-conductivity at an AMAZING 57 ºF / 13.3 °C / 287.7 K temperature, albeit under an unrealistic 2.5 MILLION Atmospheres. Still, what is experimental today can, if scalable, lead to an amazing tomorrow!
Not sure about this, but here’s some alleged cool fusion:
