Terry, It looks like the uncompressed hydride TiD2 has a density of 3.9 g/cm3
The pure Ti metal has a density of 4.5 g/cm3 The normal hydride which has not been compressed contains 4% hydrogen but as a result is reduced in density by 13% Adding hydrogen as a hydride would normally be counterproductive when the goal of facilitating fusion is to increase particle density, unless the hydrogen (deuterium) were absorbed deeply into the Titanium atom orbital. If the deuterium is completely absorbed, then the density of the hydride would be no more than 4.6 g/cm3 or hardly noticeable but the end result would be deuterons which are much closer together and presumably easier to fuse due to proximity. The Lawson criteria would be vastly enhanced with absorbed deuterons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawson_criterion From: Terry Blanton Interesting characteristics: • Density 3.9 G/cm3 • Composition Ti - 95.95, H - 4.05
