Pieso-nuclear fusion uses a specially designed cathode immersed in a deuterium enriched water bath. When an electric current is run through the water bath, the water is chemically split into hydrogen/deuterium and oxygen. The deuterium, gathers on and around the cathode where it is compressed into fusing.
This Cold fusion process (the device rarely exceeds 50°C and produces little or no radiation) then produces power from the excess heat by means of a thermocouple in a similar manner to a Radioisotope thermoelectric generator.
There is no bottom limit to the size of this device. It is light weight, since it does not need heavy shielding. It is not dangerous, it can run off of water without much prelimiary fuss.
The limitation of the technology is the ability to construct the cathode for prime fusion generation and it's longevity.
