As I have posted before, it’s the shape of the crystal(AKA Rydberg matter, Clusters) that is important, not what the crystal is made of.
In this regard, a nanowire can be made of carbon (Mint Candy – negative charge concentration), water (LeClair - positive charge concentration), alkali metals (Rossi, DGT - positive charge concentration), or cracks or voids (Storms - negative charge concentration). These crystals serve to concentrate charge of either polarity which lowers the coulomb barrier. As I have said before, the LeClair effect cannot be neutron based (aka-hot fusion) because he is still alive after exposure to his process. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-process The R process is what LeClair says is going on in his reaction. LeClair has no clue to what he is talking about. The *r-process* is a nucleosynthesis<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleosynthesis>process, occurring in core-collapse supernovae <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernova> (see also supernova nucleosynthesis <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernova_nucleosynthesis>) and in nuclear weapon <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon>explosions, which is responsible for the creation of approximately half of the neutron <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron>-rich atomic nuclei<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_nucleus>that are heavier than iron <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metals>. The process entails a succession of *rapid* neutron captures<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_capture>(hence the name *r-process*) on seed nuclei <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_nucleus>, typically Ni-56. The other predominant mechanism for the production of heavy elements is the s-process <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-process>, which is nucleosynthesis by means of *slow* neutron captures, primarily occurring in AGB stars<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_giant_branch>, and together these two processes account for a majority of galactic chemical evolution <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleosynthesis> of elements heavier than iron. The LeClair process is a proton fusion process just like all the other ones mentioned above base on charge accumulation. I have no idea what catalyst mint Candy is using for a catalyst but I hope he posts his patent when he gets one. The Rossi catalyst concentrates positive charge by using heat. This is very hard to control. Direct negative charge accumulation from a spark plug is very controllable.
