Maybe so. So let's see if a large B field can dig a tunnel for us to use! Hydrogen in the atomic form might be far more susceptible to the field than molecular hydrogen. My bet is that the DGT device generates plenty of ionic hydrogen that falls upon the metal. The protons can be directed by a B field and I believe that monotonic hydrogen is magnetic as well.

I would like to find that thermal or sound alone is enough to lead to LENR, but it just does not seem to be energetic enough. At the energies we're talking about (<< 20 keV), it seems like Coulomb penetration is effectively zero. The only hope we have at these temperatures is tunneling. My naive understanding is that there's Coloumb penetration -- jumping over the wall -- in which case the height of the wall is important; and there's tunneling -- teleporting through the wall -- in which case the width of the wall is important. I think the latter phenomenon is where our hopes are best placed at these energies. Eric
