Electrochemical factors in cold fusion experiments
The electrochemical processes occurring in cold fusion cells with palladium cathodes are explained. Topics covered include power deposition distributions, deuterium activity/overvoltage relationships, uniformity of current density and symmetry of cell design, and the possible role of poisons.

Summary: | The electrochemical processes occurring in cold fusion cells with palladium cathodes are explained. Topics covered include power deposition distributions, deuterium activity/overvoltage relationships, uniformity of current density and symmetry of cell design, and the possible role of poisons. A proposed modeling scheme is consistent with the performance of operating cells in terms of voltages and power generation. Examination of a 3-mm cathode after extensive electrolysis has revealed no evidence of fusion to date. |
