I would be surprised if no one has done extensive research into these transmutations. By now, they must have some idea as to how this happens or they lack curiosity. If this has been swept under the table over the years it makes one wonder how many other important discoveries are hidden.

Dozens! And in every single tube! Roy Hammack and others have done this. It is mundane. Since we can say with certainty that QM transmutation due to tunneling is ubiquitous in electrical arcs over time - the problem shifts to one of correlating transmutation to excess energy. That is most difficult. AS we know triodes are inherently lossy, so transmutation alone guarantees nothing. This is an important question -- are the transmutations just a peripheral effect, or can they be correlated with anomalous heat? My sense is that the jury is still out, and that the researchers haven't been paying close attention to this until more recently. (I do not see correlation of 4He with heat in Pd/D systems as a counter-argument, since it is possible that this is due to alpha decay, or that there is agglomeration of the kind that Terry hinted at.) It's actually pretty cool that transmutations are a well-known result of electric arc discharges, if this is true. Perhaps this has been LENR all along, staring back at us, but we wanted to build Tokamaks. Eric
