Jed,
Yes - it is wonderful pioneering work that Putterman patented, with patent number 5,659,173 but it looks like the patent is still in force and will be for some time. Not to cause any arguments - but he did call for sonic Fusion using D+T as "fuels" whereby Purdue's addition of acetone is purely inconsequential. Exactly what is wrong with Putterman's objections to unauthorized use of his work and patent even if theory turns out to be completely in error but the principle works as patented? It is my understanding that can't patent a theory anyway, that is what copyright is for.
