[Vo]:Gas loaded nanoparticle cold fusion Jed Rothwell Wed, 10 Jun 2009 11:12:13 -0700 [I have been telling people they should try this experiment. I send them this document to explain the reasons why] Gas loaded nanoparticle cold fusion I recommend that researchers attempt to replicate an experiment with gas loaded nanoparticle cold fusion. With this method, deuterium gas is loaded into a fine powder made of pure palladium nanoparticles or palladium nanoparticles suspended in some other material. This method was developed by Arata and Zhang [1, 2], and replicated by Kitamura et al. [3] ...
