Do You Know about Cold Nuclear Fusion?

We all know about nuclear fission and fusion reactions. Also we know that fusion reaction has no practical application and is observed in giant Nuclear sources like stars. These stars undergo nuclear fusion reactions which undergo at a very high temperature (About 10 Million Degrees) which yields a very high amount of heat and light energies.

But....

Long ago a scientist duo proposed a theory which showed that the nuclear Fusion reaction can be done

CAN BE MADE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE!!!! 

They have successfully shown the results too!!!

Don't Believe it ? then here it goes....

Theory:

The Theory of Cold Fusion was proposed to explain the results of  a laboratory experiment conducted which yielded a high amount of energy.
The theory was proposed by Stanley Pons and
Martin Fleischmann in 1989.

 
They made an experiment which yielded a high energy, which was equivalent to that of a nuclear process. 


They also observed the evolution of byproducts like neutrons and tritium. They were conducting the experiment of electrolysis of water in the presence of Palladium (Pd),when all these were observed.

 



The the experiment raised very much expectation among the people since these can produce a Clean and "No Waste" producing nuclear energy. 




 
But Soon The Proposal Failed:

Many scientists repeated the experiment made by the inventors,
but they didn't find any such reliable results.

Also many flaws were found in the reaction and finally the hopes ended by the discovery that there were no such by products formed.

Because of such inconsistent and unreliable results on replication, their theory soon was disapproved.


But still there are many researches going on this phenomenon, and these reactions were called "Tabletop Nuclear Reactions".

If this theory comes into reality, then the world will not worry about the problems of Nuclear Reactions like Nuclear Wastes, Side Effects, damage due to overloads etc....

Hope such a day comes where the world can have plenty of clean and safe energy.
