Those are indeed wonderful results from the, er, space war
people,
but I don't understand how an external DC electric field can
have
any effect inside the electrolytic cell. The resistance of the
container walls is so much greater than that of the electrolyte
that all of the voltage drop, i.e., the electric field, would be
across the walls, and none across the electrolyte and its
contents.
Hi Mark,
Yes, that does seem to be part of the amazement, and relates to
Steve's comment about the difference with Claytor's et al. work.
This is a fundamentally different situation than a HV discharge or
Mizuno glow.
Perhaps it is relates to "something" being excluded ... isn't that
the most logical thing ... which "something" makes a slight
difference in the dimensions of interstices, or other internal
physical properties (polarity, charge, coulomb barrier, etc).
Just thinking out loud, the short list of excludable (alterable)
properties which a high external electric field might arguably
influence - include:
1) gravity
2) aether
3) the epo flux (the QM "foam" of virtual electron/positron
formation, to the extent that this is not a part of the aether
4) CMB (too weak to matter, probably)
5) ZPE in the sense of whatever it is which causes Casimir
pressure.
6) the beta decay rate.
As for the last, it has been theorized with some proof to back it
up that deuterium does undergo beta decay with such a long half
life that it is undetectable (swamped by cosmic rays etc).
Did I miss anything ... err ... other than... well the thing which
is most likely of all of these <g>
That being:
7) an alteration in "time" itself such that a normal QM
probability distributions and determinations become highly skewed.

Certainly nobody on Vo is thinking "Philadelphia experiment" <g>
alleged time-alteration via HV, but most likely apocryphal:
