Cold fusion experiment at Department of Nuclear Engineering,National Tsing-Hua University

We have repeated the so-called cold fusion experiment by electrolyzing heavy water, with 0.1M LiOD, with palladium rod as the cathode and platinum wire as the anode. The purpose of our experiment is to dectect the neutrons that are produced from the fusion process of deuterium if fusion does occur. We use one³He detector and one BF₃ detector to detect the thermal neutrons coming out of the water bath that surrounds the heavy water cell. Possible neutron bursts are detected by the³He detector during a period of about 7 h after electrolyzing for 11 days.
