Mark Goldes believes that Meyer himself did >not understand the electronics, and had them built by others, and ..yes, his brother (David?), who to the best of my knowledge is still around. I wonder if this sort of setup could ionize atoms in the same way that microwaves do (a la Mills)? If so then he may have been creating O++ in situ with the obvious (to Vorts) consequences. Another possibility is that hydrino molecular ions masquerading as deuterium nuclei in the water get liberated by the shock waves created by the pulses, and get reduced to neutral hydrino molecules, which could then "wander" into other atoms, and occasionally fuse with their nuclei. The net result would be a form of radiolysis. However this doesn't appear to explain why the cell is cold, unless for some reason the radiolysis/photolysis process were extremely efficient, and no recombination occurred. Or perhaps there was so much hydrino molecular ion in the water that it accounted for nearly all of the gas, and very little real radiolysis/photolysis was needed (this doesn't seem likely).
