This section from the patent gives the uninitiated reader an idea of the possible uses of the invention:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The embodiment of the invention relate generally to the field of electrochemistry. Generated particles may be captured by other nuclei to create new elements, to remediate nuclear waste, to treat cancerous tumors, or to create strategic materials. Previous efforts to create a reproducible and corresponding system to generate particles during electrolysis of palladium in heavy water have been unsuccessful. Therefore, a need currently exists for a reproducible method and corresponding system that can generate particles. Harry
