Re: What's the story with light water CF, anyway?

[Horace Heffner]

The key to anode fusion lies beyond merely creating the oxide film of  
a passivated anode, as described by Bockris. [J. O’M Bockris and  
A.K.N. Reddy, Modern Electrochemistry, Plenum Press, p.1319 ff.]  The  
process of conditioning the anode must proceed to the point where an  
insulating barrier is created that permits an electrostatic field  
intensity sufficient to ionize an OH molecule.  In other words, the  
surface barrier of the oxide film must be thick enough that electron  
tunneling to the anode only occurs at a voltage beyond the ionizing  
voltage of the OH molecule.  When an electron is stripped from the  
neutral OH molecule (or possibly water for that mater) the proton of  
the OH molecule is freed, set lose within the high intensity  
electrostatic field required to create the electron catalyzed fusion  
generating cascade within the electrolyte.
