OT: nuclear fusion in the palm of your hand

Let's see... how long was it before "cold fusion" was found to be due to sloppy research and wishful thinking? Any bets as to when this one meets the same fate?

"Cold fusion" claims by Dr. Pons were not able to be reproduced by other scientists who were attempting to validate his theory. They also stretched (some say violated) some known laws of physics. For these reasons the idea was rejected.

This method of fusion is reproducable and relies on well known mechanics. Because of these reasons, I doubt that this method of fusion will have any trouble being accepted as real. Being able to produce usable power safely, cheaply, etc... that has yet to be shown.
