Has 10,000 times the energy density of gas.

HOUSTON, Texas (PNN) - May 21, 2013 - Against all probability, a device that purports to use cold fusion to generate vast amounts of power has been verified by a panel of independent scientists.

The research paper, which hasn’t yet undergone peer review, seems to confirm both the existence of cold fusion and its potency: The cold fusion device being tested has roughly 10,000 times the energy density and 1,000 times the power density of gasoline. Even allowing for a massively conservative margin of error, the scientists say that the cold fusion device they tested is 10 times more powerful than gasoline - which is currently the best fuel readily available to mankind.

A new weapon has been developed for use by terrorist outlaw pig thug cops against innocent Amerikan citizens. It is a gun that shoots DNA markers, which can then be used to identify the target as having been present at a particular place at a particular time. Perhaps we need to develop our own weapons to use against the terrorist pig thug cops.
