> So they are claiming that 192 HUGE lasers focused on a pellet the size of a pea is 'cold'??? Sounds delusional to me... The first thing that comes to mind is where is Frank Grimer when we need him. Has Frank's insight on "compreture" spread no further than a few souls on this forum? Geeze. The second thing is that mainstream physics is delusional when they cannot parse common English in the context of science well enough to understand that heat and pressure are interconnected in such a merged continuum (joined at the hip, as it were) that indeed it is both possible and likely that reactive elements (deuterium and tritium) in a pellet near absolute zero can fuse BEFORE they can attain any measureable "heat" at all. Heat and pressure are indeed linked at the hip (of the L function). High pressure is a substitute for high heat and vice-versa. ALWAYS !! In LENR, when isotopes that occupy a substantial "space" (i.e. cubic volume) at STP are encouraged to become adsorbed into what is essentially solid metal - then yes, they can be both "cold" technically, but so "effectively" pressurized in the confines of this environment that the Lawson criterion are met (rather a version of this criteria) in the terms of enhanced QM probablility. IOW Lawson needs to be revised in terms of QM. If you look at the graph here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawson_criterion You will discover that The deuterium-tritium "L function" minimizes near the temperature 25 keV (300 million kelvins) at normal conditions, but even that is false for laser ICF - since it is still possible to fuse at cryogenic temps. "Time" is the key, and essentially convergent laser beams offer too little "time" for real heat gain in reactants and they fuse at whatever was the starting temperature - even though the compreture has been massively increased. In fact, many of us are of the opinion that by using a version of the Lawson criterion which is tailored to bosonic condensed matter there will be a camel back hump - such that the easiest fusion (especially for pure deuterium) will be found near absolute zero. That is cold in anyone's book. IOW the "pellet guys" at LLNL who have burned through about 4 billion with nothing to show (essentially converting greenbacks into rabiit pellets) could probably have done this 10 years ago - with a tiny fraction of the laser power - had they first understood and used LENR principles ! and had fist adsorbed D2 into a bosonic matrix (i.e. C-60 bucky ball) before implosion. It is NOT too late to do the "mea culpa" over at LLNL, and to embrace LENR for what it is: the truth .... Jones
