I must be confused about the process. Daniel, are you suggesting that the pressure of 10 million bars is going to cause the hydrogen within the tube to fuse? I was thinking more of the case where the fusion was with a nickel atom. Perhaps it is hydrogen fusing with hydrogen within the CNT. I am still clinging to the original idea that nickel is converted to copper which may be wrong.

Compress, as an extremely strong anvil, a pressure of 10 million bar. Such pressure is only possible in planets with higher masses than Neptune. It really doesn't matter if it is continuous or not. For the purpose of the collapse, which should be measured in attoseconds, the current is continuous. 2012/7/18 David Roberson <[email protected]> Interesting idea. Are you thinking of the protons being ejected from the CNT like toothpaste as the outer surface is compressed? I assume you are referring to the large current as being a large time changing current instead of a DC one. Dave
