There is no deuterium in the LeClair’s cavatation. He uses only water and aluminum from Home Depot.
Molten fluoride salts are transparent like water and the cavatation methods that LeClair uses will work with molten salts, IMHO; but molten salts are far hotter of course. Sonofusion might also perform with molten salts. Dear pagnucco you suffer from the same Deuterium fixation that many other cold fusion veterans suffer from. This is based on the fantasy that Deuterium is required to support a version of hot fusion. This is what Peter Gluck has been railing about when he tries to draw a distinction between LENR and LENR+. Cavatation is a LENR + reaction and is fundamentally the same as the Rossi reaction where no deuterium is used. All LeClair needs at a minimum is water to support his reaction.
