The Rossi reactor- scientific breakthrough or fraud?
<p>I am often asked to comment on various technologies and inventions that receive quite a bit of publicity, but have not yet been universally recognized and/or applied.</p>
<p>One of the devices I have been asked to talk about is the Andrea Rossi Cold Fusion Reactor. Let’s find out what it is.</p>
<h1>What is cold fusion?</h1>
<p>Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which nuclei of lighter elements are combined and turned into nuclei of heavier elements. For example, hydrogen → helium. A large amount of energy is released in the process.</p>

<p>Usually such reactions take place in plasma at enormous temperatures. In nature, such reactions occur in the interior of stars. Such reactions are called fusion reactions.</p>
<p>There is a hypothesis that, under certain conditions, these reactions can go on at much lower temperatures. And it is precisely such reactions that are called cold fusion reactions.</p>
