I think it covered the hot cats. The cold cat is way too weird. Generally cold fusion happens with high temperatures, at least microscopically. For example, the working function of a metal is 4eV. So, when you do electrolysis, you have at at least at tiny places the equivalent of 40,000 K. Though, that thermacore result is something that is really amazing. Did thermacore have any patent? Thermacore was issued a 1992 patent US 5273635 on an Electrolytic device. They did not pursue a patent on the “runaway” device. Abstract - A heater which uses the electrolysis of a liquid to produce heat from electricity and transfers the heat from the electrolyte by means of a heat exchanger. One embodiment includes electrodes of nickel and platinum and an electrolyte of potassium carbonate with a heat exchanger immersed in and transferring heat from the electrolyte.
