Consider the following: 1) Iron absorbs Hydrogen, and thus so does steel (or at least some steels?) 2) The voltage regimen applied by Stanley Meyer somewhat resembled a superwave, and may have had the same effect (see his patents). 3) Though D-D was not likely the source of power in Meyer's device (D concentration too low in ordinary water), the H-D reaction might have been, if the energy was released in some form other than gamma rays (and even if it was released as gamma rays, this might still work, through absorption of the gammas by the water. Note that his initial experiments with large containers of water appeared to be more successful than his later attempts to use injectors.) The H-D reaction on average yields about 400 eV / water molecule, which is still hundreds of times what is needed for electrolysis. If Energetics Technologies LLC are getting about 25 times more energy out over energy in for the D-D reaction, then the H-D reaction should get about 5.49/23.8 x 25 = 5.7 times energy out over energy in, if the efficiencies of the two processes were comparable. I seem to remember Meyer claiming about 10 times (the theoretical maximum is about 135 times). Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html
