There are fusion techs in development that do not rely on heat engines. They develop current from the reaction directly. One is IEC fusion (above) and also focus fusion.

BTS: I hope, i hope. Cold fusion is one of those things like room-temperature superconductivity with high current density or space elevators which is theoretically possible, but still require some luck in terms of what solid state physics allow.
which is why its important to fund the serious attempts to solve these problems, and not turn it into a dog-and-pony show like mr. Rossi seem to be doing.

We already have relatively high temperature superconductivity (no need to go absolute 0 can use liquid nitrogen coolant rather than helium) based on the properties of ceramic materials developed at MIT in the 1980s. KEPCO S. Korea is putting together a demonstration project for a superconducting grid using US superconducting wiring. 10x-100x the current carrying capacity of copper (per conductor cross section) a fraction of the power losses (no voltage drop), and the cabling itself is fault current self limiting (it inherently stops transmission if fault current situation exists).
BTW the example above (EMC2 Corp) is funded by US Navy.

existing superconducting materials can do that very well allready, just ask them at CERN :-D.

Heheh.

BTS, yes there are other fusion techs, but that's changing the subject. I am referring only to the cold fusion device described in the OP.

Palladium core for sale, good condition, some cosmetic damage, original owner, best offer takes it...
