Cold Fusion
|
|||
|
|
Abstract
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Cold fusion was first discovered in 1988 two weeks before easter.
|
|||
|
|
Fusion is the combination of two atoms. The sun fuses hydrogen and helium.
|
|||
|
|
For many years mankind has been experimenting in the field of fusion in
|
|||
|
|
order to harness its energy efficie ntly. Cold fusion is made in a test
|
|||
|
|
tube at room temperature according to Dr. B. Stanley Pons and Dr. Martin
|
|||
|
|
Fleischman, the inventors. As of today, there is no hard evidence of cold
|
|||
|
|
fusion at room temperature. When this was first discovered, Pons and
|
|||
|
|
Fleischman pointed out that a power source the size of a cigarette lighter
|
|||
|
|
could power the entire city and the top 10 feet of Lake Michigan could
|
|||
|
|
power the entire world for the next 15,000 years. There still is hope
|
|||
|
|
thought that they could crea te cold fusion and room temperature and Pons
|
|||
|
|
and Fleischman are researching it today.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Detailed Description of Chemical Process
|
|||
|
|
The theory to how this fusion works is the Muon Theory. The muon
|
|||
|
|
theory is as follows: Speeding muons knock electrons out of their orbits
|
|||
|
|
around deuterium and tritium atoms. Muons replace the electrons and form a
|
|||
|
|
smaller atom. This "muo-atom" the n captures another nucleus. The muon
|
|||
|
|
orbits more tightly around the two captive nuclei leading them to overcome
|
|||
|
|
their natural repulsion of each other and fuse. This reaction produces a
|
|||
|
|
larger nucleus that almost immediately shatters, releasing ener gy. It
|
|||
|
|
also frees the muon, which can then repeat the cycle, causing several
|
|||
|
|
hundred more such fusions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The fact that the muon is 207 times heavier than an electron gives
|
|||
|
|
support for this theory. A nuclei is orbited by an electron making a
|
|||
|
|
mini-solar system. If a muon is shot at the nuclei, it will bump the
|
|||
|
|
electrons into a smaller orbit and replace their orbit with muons. This
|
|||
|
|
then closes tightly around the atom, crushing the atom and nuclei together
|
|||
|
|
close enough to fuse. This creates energy and frees the muon thus starting
|
|||
|
|
this sequence all over again until the muon decays, which is about 2
|
|||
|
|
millionths of a second, or sticks to another particle that is ejected by
|
|||
|
|
fusion. Pons and Fleischman have been the only one to record this
|
|||
|
|
phenomenon. They have also been rejected by many because of this rare
|
|||
|
|
phenomenon that only they have experienced. Whether or not they did or did
|
|||
|
|
not, future experimentation may provide answe rs to the energy crisis of
|
|||
|
|
today.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Detailed description of application of process
|
|||
|
|
The impact of such an efficient source of energy would be enormous to
|
|||
|
|
say the least. Large, unsafe nuclear powerplants such as the one Smud is
|
|||
|
|
operating could be replaced by cold fusion at a small fraction of the cost
|
|||
|
|
it is today. A "Puff"(Pons/Uta h/Fleischman/ Fusion) engine was supposed
|
|||
|
|
to be operating today if they were successful although they have run across
|
|||
|
|
many problems. Had a Puff engine been created, it would have to release a
|
|||
|
|
minimal amount of radiation for widespread use of it. Wh en they first
|
|||
|
|
reported their results, they predicted that Puff automobiles would already
|
|||
|
|
be made public, Puff aircrafts would already be flying overhead, and Puff
|
|||
|
|
heating plants would already be installed in homes. They also predicted a
|
|||
|
|
Puff powerpl ant with more than 100M Watts capacity by 1994 and a space
|
|||
|
|
rocket by 1995.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Impact of application of process on Society
|
|||
|
|
The greatest impact of this Puff era would be the money which would be
|
|||
|
|
saved. People were predicted to flock towards this new invention, had it
|
|||
|
|
been working. It may still work in the future yet there is little hope in
|
|||
|
|
the eyes other scientists. Th e greatest solution something like this
|
|||
|
|
could provide would be its help to the environment. Every day the earth is
|
|||
|
|
losing more and more of it's natural, irrevocable recourses.
