BTW as for the concept of laser induced nuclear reactions, consider the following: Most of the thermal energy in a Rossi reactor will be random. Even if some of it is made coherent by nano-particles, that is still likely to only be a small portion. Of that small proportion of coherent infra red, only a small proportion will accelerate charged particles. Of those accelerated charged particles, only a small fraction (1 in 10000?) will actually trigger nuclear reactions. Therefore I think it very unlikely that sufficient energy would be released by those reactions to produce the original amount of laser energy that was required to start the process. IOW I doubt this approach would be energy positive overall. However, I could be wrong...;) BTW, the most likely nuclear reaction (IMO) would be:- p (fast) + (A,Z) => (A+1,Z+1) which usually produces gamma rays, which are not in evidence.
