Does anyone know where George Miley's recent engine project is at? I
noticed a patent in the article which I had not seen before [1]:

In the LENR device describe in the original article (which may or may not
be related to this patent), the substrate ("fuel") is zirconium dioxide, a
high-k dielectric. What I like about dielectrics is that I suspect they
provide a good basis for arcing at the microscopic level. The same
consideration applies to zeolites.
