Fred,
Hot fusion initiates the neutron producing path, cold fusion does not.
This is the basic difference based an observation. The glow discharge
does not produce neutrons. In addition, the voltages are too low to
produce a hot fusion reaction. As for heat production, the glow
discharge technique is designed and being used to understand the
mechanism. Once the basic information is obtained, development of a
practical device will be easy. At this point, speculation based on
conventional ideas serves no purpose. In fact, the mechanism is very
unconventional.

To me this experiment suggests a vital relationship between loading the
Pd cathode with
Deuterium for Cold Fusion, and bombarding it with Deuterons to get Hot
Fusion energy multiplication.
Doping the Pd cathode with Lithium and/or Boron by Sputtering and/or Ion
Implantation might
enhance the Hot Fusion yield. Otherwise you're stuck with good science
and low-grade heat.
