Thanks for the input, Ed I am agnostic on the underlying physics, but am interested in whether this approach make any type of fusion viable.
If you have the time, or interest, in some of this author's patent applications, here are a few: "Method of and apparatus for generating recoilless nonthermal nuclear fusion" http://www.google.com/patents/US20090052603 "Method Of Controlling Temperature Of Nonthermal Nuclear Fusion Fuel In Nonthermal Nuclear Fusion" http://www.google.com/patents/US20080107224 "Chemonuclear Fusion Reaction Generating Method and Chemonuclear Fusion Energy Generating Apparatus" http://www.google.com/patents/US20080112528 -- Lou Pagnucco Edmund Storms wrote: > This paper and many others like it describe how HOT fusion is enhanced > when it occurs in a chemical lattice.
