Terry,
How do you differentiate this CF cell from P&F - ENECO??

Here's some more of the text. You really need to look at yourself.
Did F&P ever use titanium?=>
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser.
No. 08/439,712, filed on May 12, 1995, entitled LOW TEMPERATURE NUCLEAR
FUSION (parent application). The parent application is incorporated
herein by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] This invention concerns the production of energy through
electrochemical charging of a cathode made from a metal selected from
the group consisting of nonhydride forming metals, such as palladium,
platinum and titanium, with deuterium or heavy hydrogen being formed by
an electrolysis process.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] It has been reported by Fleischmann, Pons and Hawkins that
prolonged electrochemical charging of a palladium cathode with
deuterium formed by electrolysis of a D.sub.2O solution containing LiOD
leads to the evolution of neutrons and tritium together with heat on a
scale not reconciled with any known chemical reaction. Difficulties
have been experienced in confirming the results of these investigators.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] The present invention can be used to reproducibly produce heat
energy. The invention is based on the observation that significant
amounts of energy in the form of heat and the production of a
radioactive material, i.e., tritium, is obtained in a reliable manner
through electrolysis using an electrolyte comprising D.sub.2O and an
ionizable acid, such as sulfuric acid. With a current passed through
the electrolyte employing an inert anode, such as a platinum anode, and
a cathode made from a metal selected from the group consisting of
nonhydride forming metals, such as palladium, platinum and titanium,
deuterium and hydrogen atoms are formed at the cathode. It is
postulated that these react in an unknown nuclear reaction in the
cathode to yield tritium and energy.
[0005] The invention further contemplates performing the process of the
invention in an environment wherein gases produced by the electrolysis
recombine under the action of a catalyst in a region disposed above the
region where the electrolyte is contained. With hydrogen and deuterium
formed at the cathode and oxygen formed at the anode, these recombine
in the presence of a catalyst, such as platinum-black, to form water
and heavy water. The recombining of these gases in this fashion
constitutes an important safety feature. The gases may also be
collected for industrial uses, in which case, the catalyst is not
needed.
[0006] These and other objects and advantages are attained by the
invention, which is described hereinbelow in conjunction with the
accompanying FIGS. 1-4.
