Cold fusion is something akin to Star Trek in terms of how achievable it is. Theoretically, the technology could create energy at an unlimited rate for minuscule costs, win an incredibly low rate of waste production. However, even with decades of research and millions of dollars in grant money, no one has successfully created a cold fusion generator. However, an Italian researcher claims to have done precisely that.

Andrea Rossi claims to have developed a cold fusion reactor he calls an E-Cat, or Energy Catalyzer, which you can own for the low, low price of $1.5 million! He claims  this Catalyzer can produce energy at approximately $1 per MW, which is about 1% of the energy costs of coal. The process involves creating low-energy nuclear reactions while infusing hydrogen into nickel to create copper and a great amount of heat. So, easy stuff.

It’s worth noting that Rossi, a scientific researcher, has not published any papers or research for peer review, and intends to begin selling these generators next year at the above-stated price. Therefore, it’s important to remember that pipe dreams are so often built on something that is almost too good to be true. But if you’re in the market, Canopy has a bridge we’d like to sell you.

What Sparks Our Fire: Cold fusion is the technology of the future, but only if it actually works.

Do you trust  this generator works, or do you remain skeptical?
