This is certainly a wonderful [possible] explanation for Piantelli's observations and great piece of work, but there is this nagging question that Piantelli has mentioned that adding Deuterium kills/poisons the reaction as far as heat and particle production. Perhaps just a slight increase in Deuterium Concentration is beneficial.
Unfortunately we have little more to go on from Piantelli concerning this point. (AFAIK) I believe that MFMP has at least 2 experiments lined up to answer differences in hypothesis/theories: inclusion of LAD (Lithium Aluminum Deuteride) and an O-18 Tracer Experiment. These have been the works for some time.
