Is there any record of Gene's experiment? The reason I ask is that there are reasons to believe, that IF Ying actually accomplished the results he said were accomplished - then he may have inadvertently stumbled on it. FWIW he is apparently a very successful businessman, and that may or may not indicate honesty. A cynic might say dishonesty more than honesty- the Barony notwithstanding. However, it is more likely that his other business involvements are indicative of the real reason why he did not pursue the venture - knowing that "radiation would not sell" at least not back when oil was at $12 per barrel. IOW the wavelength of the gamma radiation may be critical to success, rather than Ying's contention - which is rather lame-sounding - that any form of gamma radiation alters the QM probability for D+D fusion. If Gene had employed radiation from a dental x-ray machine, for example, then that wavelength may not have been the wavelength which will work to enhance fusion, according to a more exact understanding of the dynamics. And since IE was only going-on Ying's assertion that any gamma radiation would work, then they would have no reason to try any source that had a different wavelength, or different setting on the x-ray machine used.
