I think Bob is hoping that energy can be taken away in smaller chunks and that is what I would want to see as well….Has anyone identified exactly where the large MeV energy from a D x D fusion is stored? It remains in place for a short duration until released. Perhaps it can be taken in many portions instead of one dangerous gamma. Dave, Once again, the relevant question is not whether energy can be released piecemeal, in many small undetectable portions. We can assume that it can. The relevant question is this: can a new and previously unknown mechanism accomplish this incredible feat 100% of the time, to the complete exclusion of the known mechanism? Clearly – that is most unlikely. The 23 MeV would need to come out in packets of no more than about 6 keV each. Anything above this level would show up on the kind of meters which have been used for many years, and which have already proved that strong radiation above background level is seldom seen. Think about it. That lack of any radiation signature in most experiments of this kind means the large amount of energy (from the formative alpha particle) comes out in at least 4,000 individual packets, none of which can ever be larger than what is detectable. And furthermore, never ever do we see the “known release mechanism” of standard physics. If true, this proposition is moving towards an “intelligent” release of radiation, in which packets must be monitored and rejected if they are too energetic. That kind of control is absurd, of course, but it highlights the larger absurdity of suggesting that this reaction must involve the fusion of deuterons to helium with no gamma signature. There are better alternatives. Jones
