Joshua, Essen's paper suggests a novel way to use magnetic pinching and electron screening to effect conventional D+D fusion.
Aside from the fact that both he and W-L use the "Darwin Hamiltonian" to calculate magnetic forces, their approaches are totally different. -- Lou Pagnucco Joshua Cude wrote: >I have not seen any critical remarks from Essen on Rossi, or any evidence >that he "had it in for cold fusion". > >However, in 2006, he published a paper (arXiv:physics/0607138v1 >[physics.plasm-ph] 14 Jul 2006) on a cold fusion related theory, entitled >"Catalyzing Fusion with Relativistic Electrons", so it seems he has a >history of some sympathy for the field.
