Oops, that should have been: 1615 eV / water molecule (divided where I should have multiplied :] The theoretical maximum is then also 545 times (assuming one can get every D to react). >Consider the following: > >1) Iron absorbs Hydrogen, and thus so does steel (or at least some steels?) >2) The voltage regimen applied by Stanley Meyer somewhat resembled a superwave, >and may have had the same effect (see his patents). >3) Though D-D was not likely the source of power in Meyer's device (D >concentration too low in ordinary water), the H-D reaction might have been, if >the energy was released in some form other than gamma rays (and even if it was >released as gamma rays, this might still work, through absorption of the gammas >by the water.

I seem to remember Meyer claiming about 10 times >(the >theoretical maximum is about 135 times). >Regards, > >Robin van Spaandonk > >http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html
