Akira - Thanks for the link to Santilli's patent application. A more readable pdf-format version is at - http://images3.freshpatents.com/pdf/US20120033775A1.pdf
Santilli is making very specific claims of observed transmutations, and at measurable levels - e.g., Deuterium + Carbon --> Nitrogen. He also predicts the byproducts for various reactions. To defend the patent, I assume he is confident he can replicate this. His method involves morphing atomic electron orbitals with very strong magnetic fields ( > 10^10 Gauss) in intense current arcs in gases during dielectric breakdown which permit nuclei to be forced near enough for fusion. LENRs have been reported in other arcing and electron beam experiments. Has anyone looked at his approach and have any opinions? -- Lou Pagnucco Akira Shirakawa wrote on Thu, 18 Oct 2012 01:59:10 -0700 > >On 2012-10-18 10:42, Mint Candy wrote: > [...] >A more convenient link to the patent: >http://www.google.com/patents/US20120033775
