Of course, the hot fusion process can be accelerated by changing the
conditions. For example, bombarding a solid with D+ results in hot
fusion, but at a higher rate than theory based on a plasma would
expect. This does not mean cold fusion is involved.
This applies to the Kasagi experiments, right? Do you think they have
no bearing on cold fusion?
It just means that the theory describing hot fusion is incomplete,
at least when a solid is involved.
If the theory governing hot fusion in the presence of solids is
incomplete, can you rule out the possibility that it has some
connection to cold fusion?
Elsewhere, Storms wrote: "In fact, the mechanism is very unconventional."
I assume this means it involves shrinking hydrogen, something like
the Mills hypothesis. Perhaps plasma fusion in the Kasagi experiments
also involves shrinking hydrogen. If so, that would tie the two
together, in the sense that I have in mind, which is admittedly vague.
