Nuclear Fusion - Cold Or Hot, Still A Hot Topic Of Discussion

Fusion of Hydrogen atoms to Helium as it occurs naturally in the Stars, is well known due to centuries of spectroscopic study. The light and warmth we get from the Sun is due to this reaction being maintained by a chain process over millions of years.

To achieve a controlled fusion reactor for energy purposes is no easy task. The advantage of fusion over fission is that there are no toxic radioactive wastes to worry about. The main difficulty is that to trigger the process the threshold energy needed is quite enormous.

There have been a few attempts at a laboratory fusion attempt. The method used is electrochemical wherein the hydrogen produced in situ by splitting of water is fused by the high temperature and pressure built-up within collapsing micro-bubbles. These experiments are generally referred to as 'Cold Fusion'. It does not mean the threshold energy is reduced. It simply means the high energy needed is achieved in a small way within collapsing micro-bubbles.

There have been attempts at achieving fusion explosives such as was attempted with 'Hydrogen Bomb' experiments. There have been other fusion explosives that have been experimented with such as neutron bomb and cobalt bomb. Whereas neutron bomb has no radioactive fallouts, Co60 is less attractive because of radioactive fallouts.

The splitting of water by electrochemical method is the most promising of current day technologies for achieving cold fusion.
