Cold fusion works at below 0 C temperatures

If you go to one of the Cold Fusion Gelato stores on the East coast.

Another version of cold fusion seems to work okay when you remove the space and download, install, and pay a license fee to Adobe corporation.

If you were puzzled by this lead in, you were either not around in 1989 or don't give a hoot - or both. So, do yourself a favor, go to Wikipedia and read up on cold fusion.

Ever since the discredited 1989 Cold Rush, we have ignored the world of cold fusion outside of gelato. The Adobe (r) thing is kind of cool but takes a lot of energy to keep it going, although there are numerous advocates who assure us it has propelled thousands of web sites forward.

The University of Berkeley, California, is using the original cold fusion experiment and papers on its website "Understanding science - how science really works". Goes to show that science and humor go well together.

Seriously, it's Twitter's fault again.

We stumbled on a tweet about an upcoming conference on cold fusion in India and got a little side tracked, especially once we discovered the mysterious energy catalyzer (Wikipedia) and its even more mysterious Italian E-Cat machine.

The K-Landnews wouldn't be the awkwardly eccentric publication it is without a dose of an increasingly rare element: Patience.

Patience, as chemical engineers know, has no atomic number, no mass and no elementary particles. In German speaking countries, Patience is observed in highly significant correlation in the presence of non-diary quark.

So, it is an abundance of patience that makes us address cold fusion months after this article in WIRED told us the race is heating up.

Will it be all hot air again like last time?

We don't know, and we got even more confused when we saw this German kinetic power plant, which is like a bunch of small submarines on a vertical chain. Air goes in at the bottom, makes it pop up, water is let in, makes it go down.

Once you get over the looks and the mental perpetual motion alert, you will see they say it stops working when you switch off the air supply. That's kind of nice. On their download page, they offer a data sheet and a calculation of return on investment.

Even nicer, they tell you on their E-Cat page that they stopped working with the Italian E-Cat maker.

Our take on the kinetic machine is simple: it runs with water, not beer, so we modify a well known marketing slogan: Stay Curious.
