Experimentation that has been done by Ken Shoulders shows transmutation in the wake of the contact of an EV with a metal surface. No hydrogen was used in this experimentation.
It is a wacky proposition that these EVs can produce transmutation via a “hot” fusion mechanism. Apparently, the deuterium meme is strong in Jed. * * On Sun, Sep 29, 2013 at 8:16 PM, Jed Rothwell <[email protected]> wrote: > Axil Axil <[email protected]> wrote: > >> There are a number of LENR experimental systems in which hydrogen is not >> present.
