Actually, as far as the high voltage - Claytor did employ that with success some time ago, if I'm not mistaken. Not sure if he ever saw this kind of reliability (repeatability). We all hope that this work will not be ignored, as his was. But one important thing here which pops out to me is indeed the importance of the magnetic field - and the likelihood from that variable - that this added constraint (on deuteron mobility) reinforces the notion (quasi BEC hypothesis) mentioned many times on vortex years ago (perhaps first by Frank Z or maybe it was by Horace Heffner)... ... that LENR happens in a loaded matrix because the loading and the near-field of the metal can creates a loss of freedom of movement in the trapped molecular boson, and consequently bears a similarity to a *pre-BEC state,* which can exist at high temperature (unlike the traditional BEC which is cryogenic); and consequently there could be a transitory swing into temporal phases of coherency (nanosecond time frame) leading to QM fusion. This transitory-BEC hypothesis is probably in need of refinement and expansion, given these results - and developments in the new field of excitonics. Jones
