The hype and excitement over cold fusion have been raised again by two Italian researchers. They claim to have fused atomic nuclei at room temperature. I measured my room, and it seems that number can be arrived at by applying this formula: 75-4/1
Cold fusion ? Well, lets just say it has been the holy grail of physics geeks across the globe for decades. Skeptics will say that you just cannot get more out then you put in without converting matter to energy. I say, my fireplace does it every day! Of course, this is due to Speedcat's "Hot" fusion theory. Go ahead and try it yourself. Now, if cold fusion in Bologna could be achieved, it would be an economical, possibly clean, and limitless energy source. Rumor has it that this NEW cold fusion creates copper. I cannot vouch for this, but Andrea Rossi and Sergio Focardi could be more specific. Neither one would take my calls, as it seems they are too popular for blog interviews. Shocking, very shocking. Anyhoo, back to the copper, maybe we could all get new pipes, for plastic prices. Good for plumbers that are out of work? You betcha ... (( winks )).

I think you have it backwards. Cold fusion doesn't create copper, but copper is used in the process of creating cold fusion.You need a copper pipe and an aluminum can. A clean soup can with the cover removed will do.The copper pipe needs to be two inches longer than the height of the can. Cap the one end of the pipe. Fill the pipe with water two inches short of the top.Stick the pipe in the can. Fill the area around the can with ice. About an inch of crushed ice. Sprinkle salt over top of the ice. Add another layer of crushed ice and sprinkle salt over it. Repeat until the can is full.Now, turn the copper pipe around slowly in the ice-salt mixture. After some time has passed, you'll find that the water in the pipe has frozen and is fused in it pretty good.Presto! Cold fusion!
