You mean to make it go bang. Martin Fleischmann and Edward Teller worried about that. I do not know anyone else. I think it may be a legit worry, as I point out in chapter 12 of my book. Despite that, I don't worry much. I am sure that cold fusion will have a profound effect on every aspect of conventional weapons, as I said in chapter 11. If Country A with cold fusion powered weapons attacks Country B without them, country A will win with overwhelming force, as quickly and easily as the British won the Opium Wars, and the U.S. won the Spanish American naval Battle of Manila Bay, with essentially no casualties on the U.S. side and the complete destruction of the Spanish fleet. Military people are not fools. They are aware of these things to some extent. That is why DARPA continues to support cold fusion despite tremendous opposition, albeit only to a microscopic extent. I have had discussions with the people who wrote the Defense Intelligence Agency report: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/BarnhartBtechnology.pdf > If this is true, you can bet that somewhere a black project is taking > place to enhance the potential of such a device. I doubt it. Those people are not so smart. They have no special insight. They never did have any. Read the inside story of WWII operations and you will see they made profound mistakes at every level, in every military, on both sides. There are stark limits to our abilities. - Jed
