Jones, please do not confuse hot fusion with cold fusion. The
difference is in the products. Cold fusion does not produce neutrons
and energetic radiation. Hot fusion produce neutrons and radiation
because the conditions require the nuclear product to fragment. This
fragmentation does not take place during cold fusion. In addition,
cold fusion takes places only in a lattice without any additional
energy being applied. Hot fusion occurs in plasma where high energy is
available, as is the case with the Farnsworth Fusor.
The Farnsworth Fusor produces hot fusion, but at a low level. It
works at an apparently low energy because the process is efficient and
the real energy of the deutrons is not properly calculated. There is
no threshold level. The rate is simply roughly related to the log of
the energy and becomes undetectable at low energy.
Causing hot fusion is trivial. Anyone can do this with high voltage
and some D2 gas. The challenge is to produce more energy than is
applied. This has not been done using hot fusion using any of the
methods. In contrast, cold fusion has accomplished this on many
occasions, although with difficulty and at low level. These are facts
and not a matter of opinion. Please try to understand the difference
between these two phenomenon. Your opinion is important and needs to
be correct.

A Wyoming high school student builds a nuclear reactor in his dad's
garage -
and then is disqualified from the International Science and
Engineering Fair
on a technicality. The beginning of a conspiracy theory? LENR
suppression?
His problem could have been: impersonating Philo - :-)
Anyway the Farnsworth Fusor is a fusion reactor that many high
school level
students have built, including Conrad.
It involves adding electrical energy in order to achieve LENR
reactions.
Sound familiar, Joshua? The "mainstream" wants to call it "hot"
fusion but
it is not. The gainful reactions are fusion but technically not hot
or cold,
and yes they are definitely low energy - warm not hot.
The published threshold level for D+D fusion is variously listed at
around
1.4 MeV up to 2.2 MeV and yet the Fusor average plasma energy level
is less
than 1 eV - so it truly is LENR on the input side. It is definitely
NOT in
any way hot fusion. Since it is orders of magnitude lower input.
Since there are neutrons emitted, no one doubts the reaction is
nuclear.
Plasma LENR reaction produce neutrons but the same does not happen in
condensed matter LENR.
BTW Conrad is also a YT! Jockey. His channel is replete with his
experiments
