One idea I had was to mount a palladium rod in two bearings slightly misaligned and spinning it, which would result in alternating compression and expansion of the rod, but, alas, I didn't have the resources to try that.
I did try putting a 40KHz ultrasonic transducer in the D20, but all I could see was the bubbles got fewer and bigger, but I didn't have sufficient instrumentation to see any other effect ( I was really only after spectacular effects, nothing subtle ). Another experiment I did was to raise the entire apparatus to - 40 Kv and also + 40 Kv where some weird effects occurred that I've described here quite a while ago. The idea for that came directly from predictions arrived at from Dewey B. Larson's Reciprocal System of physics ( http://www.reciprocalsystem.com/ http://rstheory.org/ ): a strong negative voltage should allow more D loading, then a strong positive voltage should compress it. I've also tried strong rotating magnetic fields, and powerfully pulsed capacitor discharge magnetic fields and voltage discharges in the electrolyte, which were really quite spectacular ( 1000 volts, 100 uF thru SCR ), yielding very bright red spherical plasmas in the fluid and loud sounds which seemed as if they could have shattered the 1/4 inch thick pyrex vessel, but never did :-) .

What if the loaded palladium rod was subjected to ultra-sound frequencies. Could certain frequencies resulting in enhanced kinetic interaction (and compression) lead to enhanced fusion reactions? It would seem that such speculation would seem to lead squarely into the realms of sonofusion and Taleyarkhan's work. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
