No, but I have another question for anyone who can answer it.
On the front page to D2Fusion,
http://www.d2fusion.com/
I noticed that they say of cold fusion that it was:
First discovered in the 1930s then re-discovered and announced in
1989,
Furthermore, in a paper Jed posted a few days back,
http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/ArataYdevelopmenb.pdf
there was a reference to a "thermonuclear fusion experiment" in Japan in
1933 which apparently wasn't pursued because they couldn't buy
deuterium. Jed said he had no idea what this was in reference to; could
it have been connected in some way to whatever the D2Fusion page is
referring to?
What, exactly, happened with fusion research, cold or hot, in the
1930's? As far as I knew, fusion research didn't start until much later
than that, but these two references seem to suggest that the groundwork
for cold fusion was laid at that time. (Has this been discussed on
Vortex before? I did a quick lookup on Google for fusion and 1933
without turning up anything interesting, and scanned back over the last
couple years of Vortex looking for subjects containing d2fusion and
didn't find anything more.)
Fission reactor work started in the 1930's, of course, and the Nazis
started working on a nuclear bomb some time in the late 1930's or early
1940's, but aside from the references in that paper and website, I've
never heard anything about any kind of actual fusion experiments in the
1930's.
