COLD FUSION DEVICE, AND HEAT GENERATION DEVICE AND HEAT GENERATION METHOD USING COLD FUSION

摘要

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a novel cold fusion device, heat generation method, and heat generation device that can stably and continuously achieve a heat generation phenomenon using a hydrogen-storing metal. In this cold fusion device, a hydrogen-storing metal substrate and a flat plate-shaped counter electrode are provided in a reactor, said hydrogen-storing metal substrate comprising a metal that occludes deuterium, and said counter electrode being provided facing the hydrogen-storing metal substrate and being for controlling the surface potential of the hydrogen-storing metal substrate. Treating the hydrogen-storing metal substrate as a reference, when a positive voltage is applied to the counter electrode, hydrogen occlusion in which the deuterium moves into the hydrogen-storing metal substrate occurs, and when a negative voltage is applied to the counter electrode, cold fusion occurs due to the deuterium that has diffused from the interior of the hydrogen-storing metal substrate to the surface.
