--- Robin I think you may have negated your original argument wrt the Arrata experiment. Fast in this case is 23.8 MeV each (assuming 4 x D - 2 Alpha), about as fast as it gets. I will grant that I should have said very few gammas rather than no gammas With alphas at that energy, there will

Good question, Steven. If this method is as good as claimed, it is the best and only method I believe that can result in a commercial device. Earlier use of palladium black by Arata showed similar behavior. Using this material, McKubre (SRI) replicated the claimed heat production and produced
