Eric, Did you calculate the actual number of Ds impacting the target metal to generate a reasonable amount of energy? My quick estimate suggests that the number of energetic protons generated was far below enough to replace the beam energy. The effect might be larger than expected from current physics theory, but still too small to be practical.

Could you offer a link that I might follow? The thread was here [1]. Defkalion mention Rydberg hydrogen. An interesting thing that I recently read was that you can infer when hydrogen within a solid is ionic by its mobility under a voltage. Presumably ionic hydrogen will migrate readily whereas monoatomic hydrogen will not, because of the shielding from the electron. I wonder whether Defkalion are really dealing with Rydberg hydrogen.
