How can I build a cold-fusion drive for my rocket ???

You're late! You should be on your way already.

Besides, hyperspace route H-95 to Metis has a minimum speed limit of 32*C^2, and cold fusion just isn't going to cut it.

He's going to need luke-warm fusion, at least. Tepid fusion, to be safe.

best way is to convert one of the new Estes Hydrogen powered rockets. instead of using their electrolysis set-up, substitute your platinum electrode and use the power generated to crack the water and charge the batteries - kinda like a co-gen CNG/petro set up.

This isn't cold fusion, but it may be worth a shot:

FYI-This clown is trolling all over usenet, including rec.pyro and sci.physics.fusion. Some people really have nothing better to do with their lives.

just wait till he stumbles upon some "crazy loon" who says he can do it, they get together and create a whole new type of propulsion technology

then we'll see who the clown is ;)

(P.S. Willing to test the CF drive rocket myself, for free)

Sorry. Republic credits are no good here.

Then I'll take two regular cold fusion drives with a supersized side of tritium, cut the deuterium. Send them to my secret lab under the neon "SECRET LABORATORY" sign in an isolated street corner of Michigan and Lakeshore dr in downtown Chicago.

You idiot! Michigan ave and LSD both run N-S!

Ah knows that! That's how the secret lab stays secret despite the neon sign!

Perfect place for cold fusion, wouldn't you agree?

Ah would agree with that, especially in January and February!

Any red-blooded rocketeer will also like the brewery downstairs built by the Chinese Nuke fabrication Co!

You GOT to have your priorities.

True enough but not everyone has room for a full on brewery. And for those peoples my answer is located less than 6' from the shop.....a kegerator!

For now it only houses a 8, but I'll survive :)

[smiles inwardly and shakes head in amusement] I think the group missed out on the genius of your reply.

Chicago in winter is purrrfect 4 cold fusion....froze mytuchis off waiting 4 hotel truck 2 pik me up

Then I can assume you can then run a direct intravenous injection of beer to allow you to continue working on rockets without having to stop ever so often to take a long healthy swig?
