The reference patent states: "The development of fusion power has been an area of massive investment of time and money for many years. This investment has been largely centred on developing a large scale fusion reactor, at great cost. However, there are other theories that predict much simpler and cheaper mechanisms for creating fusion. Of interest here is the umbrella concept "inertial confinement fusion", which uses mechanical forces (such as shock waves) to concentrate and focus energy into very small areas."
This is not a LENR reaction, it is an attempt at "inertial confinement fusion", a hot fusion technology. As such, I doubt that this technology will be successful.
