The '''CETI Patterson Power Cell''' is  a patented invention of the U.S. physicist  James Patterson to generate heat on the basis of 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 it. This has not occurred.

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 the 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]].

The reactor that should contain the alleged fusion processes is a non-conductive housing filled with thousands of small plastic beads coated with thin film layers of nickel and palladium. The great number of plastic beads should increase the reacting surface. The beads are surrounded by solution of a conductive salt in water through which an electric current is run. A fusion of hydrogen and deuterium nuclei is said to happen. But no fusion products or ionizing radiation could be proven.

With an input of 1.4 Watts electrical energy the cell should yield a hundred or a thousand times that energy in output in the form of heat. According to the inventor Patterson radioactive uranium isotopes which are present in the cell should be [[Transmutation|transmuted]] in an unknown way to non-radioactive Isotopes.
