This is probably a step above hoax - more likely a case of severely
underpaid scientists in Russia, etc. who are desperate to move West where
the average pay for their skill set is four times higher. 

They may have even discovered a slight anomaly and cloaked it in a guise
that will not become apparent until funds have changed hands.

This kind of disinformation-for-dollars ploy surfaced during the "monopole"
false-alarm of a few years ago. Top Russian scientists, published in
reputable journals, were essentially caught fabricating data in an attempt
to get a ticket out of there. It worked for a few of them.

I can't say that I'm completely unsympathetic in a way - if there is
anything of lasting value that can come out of it. Sadly, usually there is
nothing other than whatever these guys can accomplish in their new life in
the West. 

Other than the EVO connection Robin mentions, this one looks incredulous and
over the line - towards scam. IF any such direct conversion reactor produces
more electricity than it uses, then why not close the loop and leave no
doubt? Doh.

But even if the thing is not based on good data - something may come out of
the emphasis on zirconia - as it does seem to have LENR properties that are
useful.

If it's based on EV fusion, then you can expect fusion of all sorts of nuclei
with one another because it's essentially an accelerator based process. It's
just an extremely compact and efficient type of accelerator. The reactions may
be fusion/fission reactions, where multiple atoms are flung together into a
large super atom that then fissions into multiple pieces in such way that there
is a net energy release. (Some of the pieces would be heavier than the original
atoms, and some lighter.)

From reading the patent, this sounds a lot like fusion resulting from Ken
Shoulders "EV". (very high current density sparks). (Nano second pulses would
allow for very high current density for a short period of time.)

As Spock would say: "Fascinating."

This would tend to lend credence to speculation that what has been
described as the "lenr-canr" process, as revealed/implied by Rossi,
Mills, and now Bolotov, involves a brand new branch of physics that is
going to eventually lead to several billion-trillion dollar global
industries.

Assuming Bolotov's entry turns out to be validated, it suggests to me
that what we currently call "transmutation" is really not an exception
to Mother Nature's rules. "Transmutation" may turn out to be be very
common natural process under proper environmental conditions. Once we
acquire a better understanding of the fundamental principals that
govern how "transmutation" occurs I get the impression that we may
eventually be able to forge just about any element we wish - perhaps
ECONOMICALLY too! ...possibly including the specific species of
isotope as well.

Also of importance: Perhaps radioactive elements can eventually be
