I'll bet it trashes all mainstream theories of cold fusion, and much
else. I suppose the only thing it might support would be the Fisher
theory (tested by Oriani, see paper by), and Mills' hydrino theory.
I meant paper #1:
Rout, R.K., et al., Reproducible, anomalous emissions from palladium
deuteride/hydride. Fusion Technol., 1996. 30: p. 273.

The easiest way to learn about Fisher is to go to the main page,
http://lenr-canr.org/, and do a search in the Google Search box for
"Fisher" or "Fisher Oriani."
The work in #2 we discussed here earlier. I updated the "Experiments"
page text with more information about this:

"The plasma focus device used in this experiment generates low levels
of plasma fusion (hot fusion). However, as explained in Ref. 2,
according to conventional plasma fusion theory, this experiment
should have produced no more than 10^9 tritium atoms, whereas in this
experiment, when the titanium target was exposed to the plasma, it
produced 10^16 tritium atoms."
Srinivasan refers to this as "lukewarm fusion." He wrote to me as follows:
"You are also correct that the phenomenon that occurs in the actual
plasma focus region above the electrode is a sort of hot fusion.
But the plasma also injects hot ions into the surface of the
electrode which probably gets deuterated and where the Titanium metal
could have given rise to CMNS type reactions in the presence of the
complex electromagnetic fields caused by the Megaampe current flowing
through the Z-pinch channel into the rod.
Both types of phenomena, lukewarm fusion above the rod in the plasma
and CMNS type reactions within the Ti metal in the surface region. In
hind site after the report of transmutations seen by Karabut et al,
perhaps we should have looked for new elements. But by then many
years had elapsed and Rout had moved on to other research problems. . . ."
