Fusion Through Weak Force Interactions

[DetlefK]

11. Several counter-arguments

1. Nickel-59 has a half-life period of 76,000 years, which means that the energy-output will be drawn out over at least this time.

2. As I see it, there are two ways to fabricate the Nickel-Hydrogenid-crystal:
a) Shoot protons into a Nickel-sample. This is elaborate and shooting enough hydrogen into it to create a macroscopic crystal of approximately 1cm in size will take (with the typical flux achievable in today's ion-guns) approximately 1 year of non-stop-bombardment, which is outrageous in terms of cost and extremely difficult in terms of technical feasibility.
b) Grow your lattice from scratch by condensing hydrogen and Nickel on an initial Nickel-crystal. This method is in a reasonable price- and time-range, but only for crystals up to millimeter-size.

3. You need a source for Terahertz-radiation to keep the cold fusion going, including a power-source for your Terahertz-source.
