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,
...uh... palladium, platinum and titanium are hydride forming metals.
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,
...again... palladium, platinum and titanium are hydride forming
metals.
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.
