Give me a hint Axil. The enhanced field suggests to me that the activity might approach hot fusion conditions. Please elaborate.

A optimally configured nanoantenna can amplify incoming EMF in the infrared range by a factor of 500,000,000. I am showing you the path. What will you do with it?

My mind wandered into thoughts about cold fusion within metals when It occurred to me that the hot fusion crowd was being very presumptuous to expect the same behavior during fusion reactions occurring within a metal matrix as is measured within a plasma. The environment is extremely different in these two cases and it seems to be out of line to extrapolate a system to this degree. For instance, the density of the reaction components is vastly different. The kinetic energy of these same nuclei could hardly be further apart either. And, it is well known that the hot fusion involves a plasma while cold fusion appears to work with normal atoms. Why would it not be a miracle if both types of behavior were similar? Who could have confidence that a fusion reaction taking place within the low temperature confines of a metal matrix would restrict the release of its nuclear energy to just the reacting particles and not include other very nearby atoms? This seems like a serious lack of imagination and insight. So, I have a question that seeks an answer. Is anyone aware of proof that hot fusion types of reactions have been observed within the confines of a metal matrix that is not subject to very massive energy inputs? For example, it would be too similar to a hot fusion environment to allow the reaction atoms to be accelerated by an electric field and rammed into a metal target. For this exercise I think we should restrict the processes to include cases where fusion is detected within the surface of the metal and without significant external energy inputs. Take the example of cold fusion that is initiated by muons. Have there been any situations where this has been observed while the hydrogen is contained within a metal? If so, what ash was observed and were gammas emitted by the process? Perhaps an interesting test would be to infiltrate a mixture of deuterium and tritium into a nickel or palladium matrix and allow muons to enter the fray. Someone may have already attempted this and it would be most informative for them to list the nuclear products that have been measured since this would simulate to a degree what we are expecting to observe with a typical cold fusion reaction. Would this test result in the generation of gammas? In what form would the energy be released? I realize that the addition of tritium might blur the results, particularly when the normal cold fusion processes do not contain it. For this reason, it might be interesting to only use regular hydrogen and deuterium at a lower expected reaction rate. I am most interested in determining whether or not the reaction energy is distributed among the local atoms or confined to the ones undergoing fusion as is seen in hot fusion. I would appreciate any responses from vortex members who have knowledge concerning these questions. Dave
