The problem I have with this analysis is that in the Lugano reaction, whose fuel/ash analyses are the basis of the hypothesis, the Ni seemed to have been largely converted to 62Ni and the Li converted almost completely to 6Li; yet in the experiment, the excess heat showed no signs of abatement.

In thinking about the large iron oxide particles in the Lugano fuel and what role they may have played, it struck me that they could possibly have created a small thermite reaction (see Wikipedia). The thermite reaction is between the Fe2O3 particle and the liquid aluminum. In this thermite

The paper makes no mention of neutrons. There should be as many neutrons produced as protons (10^13), but there is no record of neutrons. And after all these years of research, Holmild is not dead yet. With 10^13 neutrons produced per shot, this guy should have died long ago, There is not mention

I would expect that the laser fusion method per the Leif Holmild reaction should produce nuclear radiation because of the 3 and 14MeV protons it produces. Holmild does not mention this in his paper. The Holmild reaction is much like what Joe Papp produced to drive his pistons. This type of

From the interview it sure sounds like the researchers did not see any significant gamma radiation. This seems unlikely given 14 MEV protons. Another direct question would be what neutron detection instrument they used. It seems given the technology associated with what the claim to have

If a lithium atom were to replace 1-3 electrons with hydrinohydrides as a stable molecule, this surely would show up in the SIMS of the fuel in the Lugano report. SIMS measures mass and you would see a spectrum of 6Li+(1,2,3) and 7Li+(1,2,3), or m/z=8,9,10 should show up and they don't. A
