I asked how to extract Deuterium in a previous posting, and got a
response from a person at Perdue. They wanted me to pass it on the net:
Apparently, all you have to do is electrolysis. The heavy water stays
longer, so you stop when you have 1/1000 your initial volume (the concentration
of Deuterium in seawater). Assume you first have to distill all the salt,
biomass and pollution out first, if you can. They then electrolyze the heavy
water to collect the pure ionized Deuterium gas, add electrons and finis.
Seems reasonably simple, so that cold fusion is probably a false start,
because the fuel is easy to produce, the method is somewhat easy to use, and
it seems too good to be true. Time (and trial and error) will tell.
