I'm perplexed that Google wouldn't provide funding after observing some of the experiments.
Were they either (a) unconvinced, (b) already allied with others, (c) directed not to engage with Brillouin, (d) reluctant for other reason? If I recall correctly, Godes claims the absence of tritium is due to its conversion to the very short-lived H-4, which quickly converts to He. My interpretation of one of Godes' brief comments is that he attributes lack of energetic decay products to the slow compressive nature of the collisions - instead of usual crashing, bare particle collider collisions. I think a couple of other people have speculated this could be the case - possibly due to slow "resonant tunneling." Just my quick take on this. -- Lou Pagnucco Axil^2 wrote: > The reason for this interview is that Brillouin needs some money for > development of their gas phase reactor. > > Brillouin is proposing that their reaction is a variant of the > Widom-Larsen > theory, where a fast electron combines with a proton to become a neutron > (reverse beta decay).
