do eskimos practice cold fusion?

To be annoyingly pedantic, there are no fusion reactors yet.  They still have not achieved breakeven point of input energy=output energy.  The lasers you refer to are one area of research to achieve this.  \n\nTo answer your question, it is an evolving field, not just laser technology; but now the design of the fuel pellet is now a subject of interest.\n\n"Nova Laser System\n\nNova is the name given to the second generation laser fusion device at Lawrence Livermore Laboratories. It employs lasers ten times more powerful than the Shiva laser fusion device and will attempt to reach the breakeven point for fusion. Nova makes use of ten lasers which are focused on a 1 mm diameter target area, dumping 100,000 joules of energy into the target in a nanosecond.\n\nAs of 1994, Nova has reached the Lawson criterion, but at a temperature too low for fusion ignition."\n\nHowever, by designing the laser to make multiple passes through the laser material using lenses; and by designing the fuel pellet to these criteria, the LNL's 192 nova lasers  have competition.  a Few (<10 I believe) of these new lasers and redesigned fuel pellets achieved close to the aame results as the 192 nova lasers.

Probably about the same distance we are from a perpetual motion machine. If cold fusion were an easily achievable phenomenon, we should find it all over the universe in environments other than the stellar furnaces of the stars.\n\nSadly, we don't.

Cold fusion theory holds that nuclear fusion is possible at room temperature and normal pressure.  If possible, unbelievable amounts of energy could be made available for use without the dangers associated with traditional nuclear fusion.\n\nAs far as I know, no mainstream scientist considers cold fusion to possible.

We know that the tempature is thousands of degrees farenheit, we also know they are 99% hydrogeyn gas.  They use nuclear fission or fussion to make energy.  All sorts of stuff.

1) Raise the temperature from -20°C to 0°C:\nMass of ice * specific heat of ice * temperature rise\n10.0g * 2.1 J/g K * 20° = 420 J\n2) Melt the ice:\nMass of ice * Heat of Fusion\n10g * 333J/g = 3330 J\n3) Raise the temperature from 0°C to 100°C:\nMass of water * specific heat of water * temperature rise\n10.0g * 4.2 J/g K * 100° = 4200 J\n4) Evaporate the water:\nMass of water * Heat of Vaporization\n10.0g * 2260J/g = 22600 J\n5) Raise the temperature from 100°C to 120°C:\nMass of steam * specific heat of steam * temperature rise\n10.0g * 2.0 J/g K * 20° = 400 J\n\n6) Addition: 420 + 3330 + 4200 + 22600 + 400 = 30950 J

the fusion of light atoms to make energy at near room temperatures. There was alot of hype about this several years back when a physicist claimed to have achieved cold fusion, but his results weren't reproducible and he was discredited. \n\nPersonally I don't see how it's possible even in theory how cold fusion could work, the energy just isn't available to sustain any sort of reaction at room temperatures.

It is lyophillic sol.\nHydrogen bomb is based on fusion. but to start the fusion the temp required is in millions. So to acquire that temp the fusion is triggered by atom bomb(fission)

Wow.  Three responders came up with the same smat*** joke.\n\nCold fusion has been performed in laboratory settings, in a reactor.  So yes, it has been made.  There are no large-scale operations.  That are public.

Well, first you learn how to use "spell check" on your computer, and you can look up these cultural issues on Yahoo or Google.  This was a practice many years ago, not on icebergs per se, but in old camps they would leave, or on the trails to new camps,and only by certain Alaskan Eskimo tribes.  Other tribes in other countries also have, and do, still practice a form of this, what they consider humane "euthanasia", often chosen by the elderly themselves.  I think a native Alaskan would provide more insight to this question as well.

asking if cold fusion works you must first ask if fusion works, as of yet the technology to meld two atoms together does not exist, however, it is expected that in the near future fusion will exist and possibly be a perfect, safe, and efficient from of energy. At presant the only type of nuclear energy avliable is fision, splitting two atoms apart

Not with current freezing techniques. Too much cell damage. In the future I think that a process will be possible. Will it be ethical or moral in a rapidly overpopulating world will be the ultimate question.

the Eskimo belong to the Mongoloid Arctic race. They are characterized by low stature, a stocky build, a relatively dark skin, a high cranium, stiff dark hair and a characteristic eye fold. The nose and the face with its high cheekbones are relatively narrow. There is very little hair growing on the face. Colour-blindness is almost unknown. \nEskimos have darker skin than would be expected if the vitamin D theory of lighter skin is the only explanation. I suggest the Eskimos may be an example of a "position-locked" group that produces more testosterone. The increased\ntestosterone in this group may be why they have darker skin than would be expected.

No, they'd be extremely too cold.  Unless Mars had a microwave...

The short answer is no. \n\nIn science, it is important that results be repeatable. This is especially true when dealing with some phenomenon like cold fusion which appears to violate all the principles that we understand. \n\nPons and Fleishman and others tried to reproduce the observations, and were unable to do so reliably. A recent review by the Department of Energy of 15 years of research and efforts in the field reached the conclusion that this phenomenon does not exist, or at least cannot be verified.

If the water is already frozen and you remove more heat, all you will get is colder ice.  Otherwise, we need to know at what point is it at in the latent heat of fusion.

I know someone in this research area. Info can be found at...\n\nhttp://www.fusionpower.org/\n\nI'd like to say that within 100 years some kind of clean(er) energy will be produced at the atomic level.\n\nBut the hurdles associated with Fusion, really do seem insurmountable at this time.
