The '''CETI Patterson Power Cell''' is  a patented invention of the U.S. physicist  James Patterson to generate heat based on an assumed [[Cold Fusion|cold fusion]]. The invention was met with occasional media interest in the United States, in talk shows from ABC, Nightlife and "Good Morning America." A reception by the scientific physics is not apparent and independent replications of the alleged effect of Patterson are not known. The manufacturer CETI announced in 1997 that Patterson-cells would go into mass production within 4 years to supply the general public with them. This has not occurred and so the concept is now just of historical interest as one of the few patented processes in the field of "cold fusion".

The patent of the invention is one of few granted patents that was not denied because of the idea of "cold fusion". But for the United States patent office the feasibility of a described effect plays just a minor role. (see [http://www.totallyabsurd.com/archive.htm List of absurd patents])

Manufacturer of the Patterson cell is the company "Clean Energy Technologies, Inc." (CETI) from Dallas, Texas.<ref>Clean Energies Technology, Inc. (CETI), WWW: http://www.cleanenergy.com/ceti, Phone: (214) 983-8340, Lincoln Center One, 5400 LBJ Freeway, Suite 950, Dallas, TX 75240</ref> The company earns its money through sales of a so called "Rifex kits", experimental cells for interested people. Buyers receive a temporary permit from CETI to participate in conferences of the company and will receive newsletters. A similar kind of marketing was also implemented by the failed Irish company [[Steorn]].
