Cold Fusion Energy

What is Cold Fusion Energy?

Cold Fusion is a series of low energy nuclear reactions. (LENR) In 1989 two scientists, Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann claimed they had successfully created cold fusion. This came as shocking news as it was believed to be unachievable by many researchers at the time.

The scientists later were unable to repeat their experiments and faced criticism for botching their results. Yet, since then a number of researchers have achieved cold fusion on a small scale basis. Despite these successes many still believe that using cold fusion reactions as a source of energy is still a ways off.



Since the process requires so little material, yet yields so much energy in the product form, cold fusion as a form of energy would be a historic scientific achievement. The problem today is quite a different story. Nobody can harness a cold fusion reaction in its true form. Scientists have only yielded energy that required a significantly larger amount to create the reaction in the first place.

Despite this with modern research booming as it is these successes may lead to great advancements in the field for the years to come. In the meantime other alternative energy sources can be used such as solar energy.
