Re: [Vo]:New German LENR Company
Eric---Bob here-- I agree with your assessment. However, it does imply fusion of D and in fact uses the term "fusion". The following is a copy (translated from German with some mistakes) of the paragraph 12 of the patent : "Particularly preferably, the cathode material has been found to palladium, which is a result of its comparison to the other in the given materials high electron work function of 5.6 eV particularly well. With corresponding cooling of the cathode can thus much more of a produced by the resulting at the cathode heat electron current through the plasma arc can be prevented, as this for the heat generation process contributes nothing or these rather hindered as to produce a desired direction cathode particle to trigger fusion of the not produced in the cathode or impeded. Similar to achieve with other materials, it is necessary because of the lower work function of a much higher expense of cooling in order to prevent the undesired electrode current from the cathode and to minimize." Reading the whole patent is interesting, especially noting the timing of controlling input energy pulses.

Re: [Vo]:New German LENR Company
Jones-- Why do you say the patent appears to be photoelectric? It seems to identify another way of loading a Pd or other metal with D or H or both at the surface of the metal and inducing solid state fusion of the loaded materials--probably D based on what the inventers say.

Re: [Vo]:New German LENR Company
I'm not sure its photoelectric. Looks more like the high voltage plasma arc through water system, and again very similar to the Graneau/Pappas system and featured on a good number of you tube videos, except that the last time I looked a number of these you tube videos had dissappeared, which I thought was a little odd. However, I have copies of a number of them if needed to demonstrate prior art.
