Terry - the helium would presumably come from alpha decay, not fusion. It should be noted that the "WendtIrion" paper cited - also assumed alpha decay; but tungsten is much heavier than nickel. Ni is not known to have an alpha channel where this paper suggests that W does:
http://arxiv.org/abs/nucl-ex/0408006 Perhaps a rare but natural alpha decay indicates that this kind of transmutation can be stimulated by massive electrical discharge- so that He4 is observed in fact. Even so, that has no relevance to Ni-H. J. -----Original Message----- From: Terry Blanton > That does not mean it's not there, though. > It should be checked for. The fact that I have not searched for invisible pink unicorns does not mean they are not there. However, I have no reason to look for them. No theory I have seen indicates that you can fuse H and get He. They require D unless the neutron lives with the pink invisible unicorn. T
