Haven't heard anything, I'm sure they're trying.
Starwood (above me) has no imagination.

I'm going to agree with the others here. Cold Fusion is still experimentally unverified. I'm not saying it isn't possible, but improbable.
Fusion itself requires vast amounts of directed energy. Fusion ignition itself is very difficult to obtain.
Fusion itself is possible (we wouldn't have the stars and thus life itself), but scientists are still trying to break the engineering to harness more energy than we put in here on earth.
If correctly obtained in a self sustaining fusion process, we can kiss our dependence on oil goodbye. Fusion unlike Fission leaves no radiation products and we have a limitless source of fuel (deuterium extracted from the water).
The fact we are working so hard on "regular" fusion makes the odds of "cold" fusion very improbable.
The heat (thermal energy) created during fusion, or trying to trigger fusion would mean that any attempt to do fusion without heat would be quite futile.

No. Fusion requires extreme pressure & temperature. Noone has succeded in making a controlled sustainable fusion rxn at any conditions on Earth.

Cold fusion is a myth. Very simple calculations can prove that.

cold fusion in a mason jar, so far it hasnt really worked and you cant seriously mean every car to be turned into a fusion reactor?

There are many other ways to experiment on for simple propulsion of a car other than cold fusion.
Scientists have looked into electricity and hydrogen power cells.

no progress has been made in cold fusion, its an urban myth among scientists (so far)

Yes, I think alot of that , We can learn alot from thee Angel Drangon, Thy body,s energy source was that, like when thee burped with acid indigestion of cold fussion , thee would grit teeth that had small pieces of lime stone sulfur and flint stone mixed together ,so when thee had acid burn ,thee would scoop upsome lime stone with bits of flint ,he would grit teeth when burping and cause sparks that would, start the energy

Liquid oxygen or liquid air would work better to fuel cars. or not.
