Jones, did some back of the napkin calculations. Assuming a fusion event releases 18 MeV (I don't know exactly how much energy a p + p fusion event would release but I think 18 MeV is a good number to use.) The energy anomaly would be equal to 0.000000000002883919194 J. Meaning, there has to be 346750353505 fusion events to occur in one second to equate to 1 watt of energy.
I don't believe this much fusion events will likely happen in an s Arc discharge creation of CNTs. There is just too much variables in that process to create uniform CNTs to allow this to happen. CNTs have to be created in a mat, vertically aligned with their tops chopped off and H2 allowed to diffuse into them and sparks of low power need to be applied to prevent the CNT from "exploding" open before they can confine the H+ ions long enough to fuse.

Carbon Nanostructures are King From: Jojo Jaro Imagine a mat of Carbon nanohorns enveloped by high pressure molecular H2 gas. A considerable amount of H2 molecules will enter the nanohorn pipe and would almost be trapped there . Jojo - One practical approach you might consider is to contact any or all of the various Labs that have been experimenting with carbon nanotubes for hydrogen storage. Over the recent years there have quite a number of PR articles like this: http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/News/2011/January/26011103.asp Many hits on google. Of course these Labs were NOT looking for energy anomalies, per se, but if there were any strong anomalies, could they have been overlooked? The initial response is sure - anyone could overlook a little extra heating, if they were not looking for it. They could overlook a small amount, but not a lot of thermal gain since part of the process to release the hydrogen on demand involves adding heat. Of course extra heat is what we want to see, but is a factor which would screw up their goals. Using this practical approach, the inquiry will eventually gets narrowed down to what - in addition to nanotubes and high pressure hydrogen, will convert a storage device into an energy device? i.e. another ingredient. I would think that it is probably worth your time to email a number of these researchers and ask them if anything which was suspicious has been noticed in thermal heating with various formulations.
