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&rsquo;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 &rarr; helium. A large amount of energy is released in the process.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:405/1*lwsAtpKXyktnlSwipqHukA.jpeg" style="height:270px; width:405px" /></p> <p>Source: wired.co.uk</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> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@deep.space/the-rossi-reactor-scientific-breakthrough-or-fraud-c657b1422ddb"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
