Peter,
Can you cite a Piantelli paper where deuterium was absent, but where the transmutation products were well-correlated with excess energy? I think not. This is the same problem that Krivit finds with the lame correlation of helium to excess energy in Pd-D. I'm not saying that Krivit is correct on that, but he does make valid points about both the deficiency and sloppiness of reputed evidence. QM by itself - should provide measureable transmutation products, especially if there is deuterium tunneling or Oppenheimer stripping. Helium is ubiquitous to the extent it should always be seen. No one doubts some of both is there almost every time it is looked for. Problem is, the occurrence is miniscule, or either not well measured in proportionality, and in isotope mix, or is thousands of times too low to account for the thermal heat. Finding transmutation means nothing by itself, but measuring the mass of these products, and isotope ratio, mean everything. Bottom line - because of quantum mechanics alone the experimenter should find measurable transmutation and helium almost every time that hydrogen has been exposed to electric fields over time - but QM alone is responsible for them and in tiny amounts statistically - and thus the thermal gain which is seen in the run is most likely unrelated. From: Peter Gluck Dreaded or not dreaded, the process is nuclear. Just take a look to Piantelli's opuses or to the paradigm changing presentation of John Hadjichristos today at NI Week. Fortunately it is mildly and intelligently nuclear.

Or perhaps because "LENR" is not a very good acronym and contains the dreaded N-word. Cheers, S.A. -- Dr. Peter Gluck Cluj, Romania http://egooutpeters.blogspot.com
