I found this drawing on a site which happened to be extremely critical of P&F's research. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OpDKkgdQKrgP29Nxa0N_biIsLz0qeY8UGDGpFJCFSy0/edit?usp=sharing What I like about the drawing is that it shows the three d-d fusion pathways all passing​ through the same intermediate stage of high energy helium 4. I modified the drawing to show the reaction going in both directions before the excited intermediate stage has a chance to decay. I think that the lattice facilitates the initiation of fusion but it also tends to inhibits the completion the fusion process. The question of course is of what relevancy is this scenario if it does not produce energy? If it can form an epicatalytic process then it is very relevant. Harry
