I wrote: "So, in the absence of a continuous catalytic process of
some kind, one which provides energy from some source other than
dropping to the fractional state (e.g. from ZPE expansion of the
orbital), the two processes should be readily sorted out by energy
production alone, without the use of mass spectrometry."
To clarify, "continuous catalytic process" above means one which
continuously recycles the hydrogen.
I also wrote: "This does admittedly require the assumption that the
full measure of 23.9 MeV per He atom created is obtained. This
measure of energy production is not guaranteed at all under various
theories, including deflation fusion, which predicts the energy
obtained in a given reaction to be sampled from a random distribution
with 23.9 MeV to be a maximal and therefore improbable amount, the
mean being much lower."
The above is meant to address studies which showed a close
approximation of heat/reaction = 23.9 MeV/He atom and in which mass
spec. was performed. I don't mean to imply that all studies result
in a 23.9 MeV per reaction number.
