    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for generating thermal energy from a cold nuclear fusion reaction by having at least a first hydrogen-absorbing material (3) placed either under a high hydrogen content atmosphere or in contact with a hydrogen-releasing material. The method comprises an initial step of heating to a predetermined reaction-initiating temperature, and a second or concurrent step of applying a predetermined sequence of current pulses to the first material. By adjustment of the pulse strength or frequency, the excess thermal energy produced by the reaction can be adjusted.
