Actually I am far from convinced that the W&L theory is sound. Everything that I have seen thus far suggests that neutrons decay into protons, electrons and neutrinos but that the chance of a reversal is not very good unless you are within a nucleus.
All of the neutron generators that I am familiar with use fusion or fission reactions to generate them. Does anyone know of a proven design which operates according to the W&L theory? That is the main reason that I do not believe that the process you outline is valid. The W&L theory looks like a free lunch to me. I would love to be found wrong in my belief toward that theory as it would make life so much less complicated, but I just can not accept the many miracles. NASA please prove me wrong!

That path would not be useful in Rossi's evice. he capture alone yields over 6 MeV. The beta decay energy is tiny by omparison. Unless you are implying that the reaction is not useful because the i63 would remain radioactive for so long. However Ni63 could be a useful ortable/remote/no-moving-parts energy source. Initially about 32 W/kg, dropping ff to half that after 100 years. Think of the sort of applications that urrently use solar panels. egards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
