Damn! I was hoping that living in Northampton, Massachusetts, and having good relationships with the "alternative community" here, would improve my chances for success. I'll have to resort to incantations, writing nuclear reaction formulas in ink, dissolving the ink, and drinking it, before mixing the electrolyte, the homeopathic approach of sitting a helium balloon next to the cell, and other more probable methods of increasing fusion cross-section. That way, if I get no reaction, I can always blame my pronunciation, that I used black ink, when the jinn would have preferred blue, or that the balloon was too large, for any failures. Smaller balloon next time, or just a photo of a balloon might do.
