Axil, your description does not fit what is observed or even what is generally accepted. I'm trying to get you to understand the basic difference between cold fusion and hot fusion. It would help if you read papers that describe what is observed rather than speculate based on imagination.

No, I did not know that. Bayard protested the injustice by posing as a drowned man and photographing himself. This helped him to recover from the treacherous treatment and he continued to practice photography and it sounds like he was well known while he was alive.

You offer an excellent explanation as to where the problems arise in ICE development. The 6 stroke engines represent a good application of invention. I do worry about the complications and possibly extra weight that would be required to make these practical. With a little luck we will see

Eric, there seems to be confusion about how energy is measured and how it is applied. Let's say that the electron identified as a k shell is removed by adding 20 keV. The source of this energy is not important. I assumed it resulted from electron bombardment and you assume it comes from
