Only looked at the first patent so far but the concept of milling/high speed mixing a colloid of nano suspended catalyst would certainly seem to trump the Griggs idea using just water. Fran

Why ? Well this patent combines nanoparticles and cavitation in a way that would not be obvious if you are assuming that this work was only about sonoluminescence and not about hybrid energy techniques. If we can assume that there are trade secrets; and that LeClair is basically an honest man; then this work is extremely important. There is a wealth of information on the acceleration of catalysis during cavitation in the field of sonochemistry. One way to look at this would be as a process that uses cavitation and sonochemistry and nano-technology - to produces either pycnodeuterium and/or fractional hydrogen and/or LENR (perhaps step-wise) using a hybrid approach, some of which is NOT being disclosed by the inventor, so far. If there is any way that Mark LeClair is for real - then this hybrid approach could be extremely important as it shows how to go from nanoparticles, let's say something like the Arata nanopowder alloy, and to apply mechanical energy to a colloid of that powder in such a way that nuclear reactions are massively accelerated. Given that Arata claims helium, and after what is essentially zero power input (after triggering) - think of the implications of increasing the rate of helium production by a factor of 10e6, which not an uncommon ratio for such known increases in sonochemistry. Twenty years ago, the question was cynically asked by skeptics about the whereabouts of the "dead graduate assistant" and now we could be seeing a partial answer to the reality of that assumed risk. If Mark LeClair is genuinely honest. Jones
