Actually, as far as the high voltage - Claytor did employ that with
success some time ago, if I'm not mistaken.
Good point. I guess the co-dep cathode is more likely to work than
Claytor's cathode in the first place, so the high voltage is more
likely to trigger something.
Other examples of good results with high-voltage include Ohmori &
Mizuno's glow discharge -- similar to Claytor; and Swartz's high
impedance electrolyte (Ed Storms pointed out the resemblance to me).
I think I recall Cravens tried high voltage, as well as lasers.

"Electrolysis using higher than normal voltage is used to increase
the rate of various nuclear reactions that generate neutrons." (Storms summary)
But one important thing here which pops out to me is indeed the
importance of the magnetic field - and the likelihood from that variable . . .
Recent experiments have been with the voltage field only, not the
magnet. I think the voltage approach works better.
... 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 . . .
Is this applicable to the voltage field as well? I know so little of
theory I cannot judge.
