Question

What is cold fusion technology?

Answer 1

Roadkill is incorrect. Cold fusion is fusion that does not produce neutrons as a product. An example of this would be boron-boron or boron-hydrogen, I forget which. It produces alpha instead of neutron radiation. Cold fusion is nice because it is less dangerous. Neutrons can make other materials radioactive. What roadkill is described is called "benchtop fusion" which may be either hot or cold. Cold fusion is also a common quack term used to try to explain the functioning of bogus "free energy" devices.

Answer 2

A fusion reaction requires extremely high temperatures and pressures. So containing the reaction is a problem. Some researchers noticed that when liquids cavitate microscopic bubbles implode with such a velocity that extremely high temperatures and pressures are reached within the microscopic bubbles. Cold fusion was the attempt to use the cavitation effect to produce the temperatures and pressures necessary for the fusion reaction yet have the reaction proceed with such a small quantity that the reaction could be carried out in an open container on a desk top.

Answer 3

It is where cold is applied to the product and it fuses around the product to form a bond.
