One more facet of the DDL connection is that chemically bound DDL molecules are entirely possible - such as D^D and D^D^. Meulenberg proposes that these "pico-molecules" will fuse in "10s of picoseconds". The problem with this hypothesis is simple. Mizuno presented the most robust experiment in the history of LENR – a full 600% more gain than the next best experiment (Roulette/Pons) and guess what – no sign of fusion. No mass-4. No gammas. But plenty of excess heat. If there was a route to fusion via DDDL - then it should have shown up in the thirty days of the Mizuno experiment. Since there was no evidence of fusion in the most important experiment since 1989, it is fair to say that we should focus elsewhere. Why invent a fusion pathway when you do not need one to show gain? Going to the DDL is sufficient to explain thermal gain. If we stop there, then we do not need Storm’s brain-dead explanation for lack of gammas. The best explanation for lack of gammas – the only explanation needed – is lack of fusion. Jones
