Could you explain how the effect of D/H ratio proves that this is the mechanism?
Regards,
Robin, the amount of tritium produced is sensitive to the D/H ratio,
increasing to a maximum rate as the ratio approaches 1. The maximum
rate does not occur when the ratio is exactly unity in the gas because
the reaction is controlled by the ratio in the NAE. The ratio in the
NAE is

Hi,
We were picking up an ongoing thread concerning whether fast particles are
being generated in any quantity in an Ni/H cold fusion reaction. (We've
been debating it for several months now, I think.) We were proceeding on
the assumption that Ni/H is real. Then I inadvertently mixed in Pd/D.
Eric, when you speculate, you need to apply some basic science. For
example, a reaction involving three nuclei, one of which has a very
low concentration has a probability of occurring that is near zero,
based on the random chance that all three can get together at the same
time at the
For misunderstanding the context, my apologies. The Rossi stuff has the
potential for generating frustration too.

Most of the theories discussed here are localized theories. They depend on
the the reaction whatever it is, to happen in or very near the NAE.
But what if it can be shown that the reaction inside the NAE can affect
atoms at a some distance from the NAE. Can that be possible in any theory
