In reply to Taylor J. Smith's message of Tue, 01 Jun 2010 21:08:30 +0000: Hi, [snip] >Note that if McKubre were trying to illegitimately prove >"24 MeV," he would have preferred his incorrect data! The >value he ultimately reported was over 100 MeV/He-4, which >is anomalously high, not closer to the magic number ... [snip] ...so 75% of the energy could have come from Deuterino shrinkage, and 25% from actual fusion. Since the fusion reactions yield about 1000 times more energy each than the shrinkage reactions we would be looking at roughly 2 in 3000 deuterinos undergoing fusion, which doesn't appear to be unreasonable, and would go along way toward explaining the overall lack of radiation.
