Cold Fusion… That’s Kids Stuff

A group of high school students are investigating cold fusion with a little help from a college professor. The story appears in Alternative Energy Institute’s (AEI) latest newsletter.
High school students take part in cold fusion experiments with Prof. John Dash, of Portland State University. as part of the Apprenticeships in Science and Engineering program, which allocates high school students to summer internships all over Oregon and Southern Washington.
A former student explains the 2003 program:
"Our experiment is very rudimentary electrolysis of palladium in a D20 and Sulfuric Acid electrolyte, running under modest current (from 3-4 amps) with a non-reactive identical control cell for comparison of heat flow. So far, we've analyzed temperature readings and found that the cells used so far produce on average .5 watts, and as high as .9 watts as excess. Also, we've analyzed the palladium cathodes of similar experiments and found anywhere from 2 to 20% of unaccounted for silver with an SEM after electrolysis from cathodes that produced excess heat."
Funny. It doesn’t sound rudimentary.
