Made me think of an old classic:

It is not hard to understand why everyone is skeptical following the previous claims of successful cold fusion experiments, but some of the potential explanations of how this could work have some merit (see The Journal of Nuclear Physics website). This is not free energy, it is a potential exothermic fusion reaction that needs energy input to initiate, but then becomes self sustaining as matter is converted. I find this particularly of interest as I have some previous experience with hydrogen diffusion in nickle.

Way back as a student I interned at the UK Atomic Energy Fast Breeder Reactor Facility at Dounreay in Scotland. The project I worked on was related to calibration of the Katharometers, used for hydrogen detection  in the inert gas blankets above the liquid sodium of the Steam Generator Units (SGU). Any hydrogen, generated from the reaction of steam and sodium and indicating the impending failure of the steel tubes separating the steam from the liquid sodium in the SGU, needed to be accurately and precisely quantified so as to determine when to shut down the SGU for repair, before a catastrophic failure occurred. Since a nickle membrane was used between the Katharometer’s  nitrogen carrier gas and the inert argon blanket of the SGU, the diffusion of hydrogen through nickle had to be characterized.

My current interest in renewable energy and steam as a prime mover makes this even more interesting and something I will be following closely for all RossiWorld.
