According to the Double Ball Drop Phenomenon a hydrogen atom (~ 1.0% created by H2 on hot W) can undergo successive collisions of the Double Ball Drop type and achieve enormous velocities in a low pressure mix of H2 and Argon or such.  No over unity heat involved though, unless it forms "Hydrin

Hi I wonder if the Ramsauer effect has been investigated as causing the particles to mix with other particles to get them so close as to cause nuclear reaction. David

Mr. Beene, It is possible multiple reactions occur; however, the requirement for >90% loading of the xtal lattice is established. W&L's proposal is for a surface effect, no? BTW, the term 'hohlraum' preceeds the Shiva flashbulb. My interest relates to the usage by Stan Ulam. -Origin

Hi Hohlraum, You raise some interesting points related to bound electrons. I have wished for some time that Ken Shoulders would focus more on LENR effects, and on prototype energy conversion devices. OTOH, I'm not sure the two ideas (Ken's and this Widom paper) are as far apart as you are mak

I did not source my statements in that message. Sorry. These are my impressions from reading and talking to epidemiologists. I said the mortality rate cut off is "roughly 5% or 10%" but I could be wrong and I do not recall where I read that. There were exceptions in 1918 such as isolated Inuit

The "Slingshot Effect" obtained by salting the "Billion Degree" plasma with a heavy atom (U238 or Zenon?) as well as using (Lithium Borohydride + PentaBorane (LiBH4 + BH5) might get a better ROI. This is similar to the effect of dropping a marble and golf ball (held together) onto the sidewalk
