Hi Axil et al, This makes me wonder (as many of you probably also have) about some new particular ways to approach manufacturing the reactor from scratch. It seems certain that structure, especially micro- and nano-structure, of the fuel especially is just as important as the material itself. 'Additive manufacturing' is all the rage nowaday, especially with metals and exotic materials, like graphene for example. Recently I saw where XJET in Israel is coming out with a metal nanoparticle inkjet 3D printer. "nanomanufacturing". It might be nice, then, if some enterprising group could try to build reactors almost atom by atom and then test those under various conditions. For example, I'm thinking of the kind of manufactured Casimir cavities in the recent patent app of Charles Hillel Rosendorf, 2014, ("Methods and equipment for quantum vacuum energy extraction" US 201400092521). I myself really wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a Casimir cavity and a bear cave, but it seems from you and others' conversations that whistling H or D thru them sets off some interesting cascades. Anyway, it would also be very nice if the Energy Dept, for one,would get on the stick and put some real money and effort into the whole arena. It would be more than interesting to see some of the grant applications from new - and old- blood if that happened. cheers, ken
