TL 10 Battledress w/ Cold Fusion

[Tellon]

Now I know some people still snicker, and looks at the cold siders like conspiracy theorists ... or crazy people that need an asylum

BUT ... I wil post pertinent links and even a 2007 successful US Navy test of cold fusion below ...

So now for my main question :

Has anybody made a TL 10 Battledress using cold fusion instead of batteries which take up too much space, or TL 7 Fuel Cells which work .. but for the gearhead in me, I like my stuff with the latest & greatest .. which would be Cold fusion for the TL 9/10/11 areas.

as for the links to CF:

Here is the US Navy test in 2007 for CF

Here is the Wikipedia article .. and please notice the pic of the CF cell used by the US Navy (see above link for test by US Navy)

Here's a US Navy technical report of CF .. and notice it talks about 10 years of work .. the report was in 2002 .. which means the Navy has worked on it since 92 ...

Some developments, especially talking to the devlopers who have continued to work on CF for the last 15+ years ...

I thought this was neat .. somebody put a CF experiment online @ You Tube .. and it looks pretty cool ...

As you're probably aware, TL 11-TL 12 battle dress, IIRC, was powered by fusion+ technology (cold fusion) in Traveller 4. It makes sense, especially when dealing with contragrav units and integrated laser point defence.

Fusion+ was a TL 12 revolution that came out of the Sylean-based proto imperium, and the breakthrough was so important that it formed the seed of the Third Imperium. Cleon Zhunatsu (sp?), whose company invented it, became the first emperor. Moreover... Sylea was the only TL 12 world to develop fusion+. It's an anomalous technological development that can be sidestepped completely as one marches up the TL ladder.

ok, cool ... since my little pocket empire is TL 8,9,A then using Cold Fusion would be realistic for Battledress (TL A) ... and nobody would laugh if I had it with my low-tech campaign ..
