Jones, Yes, good memory on the potassium and iron oxide. Specifically, I used KOH, aluminum, nickel, Fe2O3, and LAH. There were a few experiments with quick thermal accelerations followed by melting wires. My instrumentation at the time was not good enough to determine if it was a power spike or if it was likely internally generated. I would have to try again with my better instrumentation. I might as well set up the cell phone muon detector app while I'm at it. Good find for Blaze.
Thanks for the ideas.
