* think? I did Google skeletal Pd and it does exist in different forms, Since the Pd lattice is one of the best membranes for disassociating H2 it would make an interesting skeletal catalyst -combining the best properties of strong catalytic action with a ready source of monatomic hydrogen to take advantage of it. I corresponded with several people last year about the need to get monatomic hydrogen into intimate contact with the cavity, we discussed using thin Pd foils in stacks separated by nanopowders to provide the cavities- the intimate contact is the difficulty as nature will reform the h2 almost instantly - One interesting concept we turned up was melting the material and "wicking" it into the space between the foils but combining the membrane and the cavities into one alloy foil sounds better. I still would want to stack the foils so you force the fractional states to do full transitions between each layer. * That is the other possibility that this is another manefestation of * Relativistic Cavities--they are accelerating the fusions that happen all the * time anyway!!! Yes, I have made this same suggestion. Regards Fran
