Oh mah gawd a persecuted Israeli, who ever heard of such a thing. Well, good job anyhow. |

I thought they were accounting for the mass as well. Nuclear fusion and coal do not produce excess anything, they change energy forms. |

Er... |

I don't know much about the cold fusion experiment, but like I said, I thought it was energy unaccountable by the mass reduction. I thought it had something to do with the the mysterious excess energy they would need to overcome the repulsion of the nuclei without a catalyst. |

Well with cold fusion I haven't heard of any peer-reviewed evidence from a reputable source for it actually occurring, much less any mechanism that would lower the activation energy for the reaction, unlike Muon-catalysed fusion. |

"you need a certain temperature to overcome the activation energy required to overcome the electrostatic repulsion of the nuclei" |

Your off topic (although this topic is off topic lol). The experiments in question when someone says "Cold Fusion" do not use such catalysts. Also, muons do not "rearrange" the electromagnetic force, they bring the nuclei closer together by replacing electrons in atoms. |
|
"Rearrange" might not be the best word, but catalysts do change the required activation energy, which is my point. Also, you don't necessarily need a traditional catalyst. For example, a well-designed particle accelerator could achieve net gain fusion without needing a high ambient temperature in any non-negligible space*. |
