I don't see what is crazy about this statement. > Let's be fair. I don't think anyone says it's "easy" or that anyone can put together a cold fusion cell. If they do, it doesn't make sense. And whether or not you can reproduce it at home depends on what starting materials you are given. Sure, one can make a kit that would allow someone to test a purported cold fusion device at home because it's small and requires modest power in. That's in contrast to say, a Tokomak or a large laser installation. That would tax a home lab a lot more, LOL. But even the cold fusion cell shouldn't be tested in homes -- if it worked, it could pack a powerful punch and a mistake could cause a sizable explosion. One needs to have respect for large amounts of power provided into small, confined spaces.
