Jed, I am really curious how you envision a cold fusion on a consumer level to work?
Obviously it would need an initial power source to start the reaction, the reaction would generate heat which would need to be converted to electricity with some realistic efficiency level. Then the chemistry of the cell and the electrodes need to be kept healthy, I question how trouble free this would be. Plus if Palladium is used a rare and going to become rarer metal would be used which would impact prices. Does any cold fusion cell yet tried seem to have the plate & electrolytic endurance to keep working in anything like a home user would need? How often would someone want to get their cell serviced if it is to be cheaper than regular power? Maybe once a year tops and only if the service isn't too pricey. Additionally explosive events have occurred with blocks, obviously rare, but once there are millions of them even rare events are problematic. Some of these concerns do not apply to Rossi's version of LENR or whatever the actual source of the anomalous energy is (IMO aetheric engineering), but many still would. What kind of LENR device do you think could work for homes, cars, etc...
