If money was no object, I would be interested in two tests to be run on a successful dog bone reactor.
Test 1 Take a complete temperature based spectral analisys of the light an RF coming from the dog bone in successful operation including emission and absorption lines Test 2 After a successful run of one month in duration, develop a elemental fine grained migration and transmutation analysis of the ENTIRE structure of the dog bone reactor: say on a 10 micron granularity to see where the nuclear active sites are located and how elements move through the grain structure of the alumina..
