Just a thought: has anyone ever tried aiming neutrons from a Farnsworth
Fusor at a loaded sample of nickel/H or palladium/D? I assume a Fusor could
be tuned to emit neutrons of any kinetic energy one chose?
Fusion is regarded as so difficult because the temperature needed to
overcome the Coulomb barrier is millions of degrees but in terms of electron
volts it is no problem at all. It is trivial to achieve fusion in a Fusor. I
just wondered if a guaranteed easy source of fusion neutrons may set off the
LENR reaction.
Another thought: how about forming a nanoscale "sponge" out of ceramic
piezolectric/triboelectric material, plating it with P or Ni, loading it up
with D or H and then zapping the piezoelectric material with high
frequency/high amplitude electric voltage. See what happens.
