Cold Fusion with heavy water

not really, you could split the column up into more manageable chunks and just pump to top stream from the previous column into the bottom stream of the next.

 

but its still going to be impractical. you would need hundreds of columns and all just for one feed. and your product stream is going to be just a trickle compared to the torrent thats going into feed. not to mention distillation columns are expensive, expensive to build and expensive to run. especially when the relative volatilities are so close.

 

EDIT: whoops, mean to say, bottom stream of the previous into the next column.

ok i think you people are nerds and not true geeks (no offense intended thats autistic / aspergers sarcasim for you)

you will genrally get more electrical energy output then you will input. You can expect the container to make a lot of noise and move about while current passes through the heavy water. The water bath will help keep things cool.
