'''Cold Fusion''' is a fusion technology variant that operates at low temperatures and low energy output — distinct from the high-output "hot" fusion used in standard [[Micro Fusion Fuel Cells]] and the [[Fusion Engine Suit]]'s combat modes.

== Hot vs. Cold ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Feature !! Hot Fusion !! Cold Fusion
|-
| Temperature || Millions of degrees (plasma) || Near-ambient (low-energy reactions)
|-
| Output || High power || Low continuous power
|-
| Use || Combat, propulsion, high-demand systems || Idle, standby, stealth, sustained low-draw
|-
| Environmental Impact || May heat environment; requires containment || Minimal thermal signature
|-
| Stability || Requires active containment || Inherently stable
|}

== Applications ==
* '''[[Fusion Engine Suit]] idle mode''' — the suit sustains itself through Cold Fusion when not in combat, keeping all systems warm and ready
* '''[[Fusion Wings]] standby''' — wings cool but maintain nominal energy level for capacitance preservation via Cold Fusion
* '''Stealth operations''' — Cold Fusion's minimal thermal signature makes it ideal for covert missions
* '''Extended duration operations''' — low-output sustainable power for long missions

== Variants ==
Some [[Fusion Engine Suit]] versions run exclusively on Hot Fusion, others on Cold Fusion, and many alternate between the two. Hot versions may:
* Heat up the environment
* Use plasma-heat containment techniques
* Employ heat management systems
* Harvest heat directly as additional power (like regenerative braking in electric vehicles)

Cold versions sacrifice peak output for silence, stealth, and indefinite duration.

== Psionic Cold Fusion ==
[[Psi Tech|Psionic technology]] can supplement Cold Fusion systems in several ways:
* '''Psionic containment fields''' — replacing physical containment with psionic fields that maintain fusion conditions at lower temperatures
* '''Neural-guided reaction control''' — [[PsiSys]] can fine-tune reaction parameters at a level beyond mechanical sensors
* '''Quantum-state manipulation''' — psionic influence on quantum tunneling probability, increasing fusion cross-sections at lower energies
* '''Entanglement-assisted fuel cycling''' — psionic resonance can synchronize fuel particle states for more efficient reactions

* [[Micro Fusion Fuel Cells]] — primary hot fusion cells
* [[Fusion Engine Suit]] — uses Cold Fusion for idle mode
* [[Fusion Wings]] — maintain standby via Cold Fusion
