This is an interesting patent that I hope is important to LENR power production. Has the existence of heavy electrons that can interact with protons and generate neutrons been proven at this juncture? Have actual gamma rays been shown to be absorbed by these systems to the degree that is necessary if we are to see all of them in every direction eliminated?
I suspect that a lot of this push toward heavy electron involvement is based upon much speculation. Perhaps it is true and we can all go celibate at the nearest pub soon, but too many loose ends keep nagging me. Can we assume that now that NASA has become interested in LENR that progress will rapidly begin? If they do put forth far more effort than before I hope that they do not become disillusioned when this pet theory is proven incorrect. It would be in the best interest of everyone for them and other researchers to continue on as many possible fronts as arise since no one really can be sure that this particular mechanism is the best and only one operating. The recent paper by Dr. Storms is a fine example of another possible mechanism that needs to be fleshed out.
