You should never have given up on those fractional hydrogen gas-discharge tubes, Ron :) Seriously, folks - space heating (yawn) is probably the number one most useful application for either LENR or f/H. It's not fancy, and maybe that's the problem; and you may only need it for 5 months a year, so palladium is out, but still ... where's the beef? Lest we not forget our history - eighteen years ago, Thermacore, Inc. now a subsidiary of Modine International, ran an nickel light-water electrolytic cell for over one year continuously for DARPA - and produced more "free energy" in the form of low grade heat than the entire US "hot fusion boondoggle" has given us (probably $20 billion down the drain in that same time frame)... You cannot ever convince me that at tenth of the US investment in tokamaks - if shifted to that program in the early 1990s, would not have resulted in the availability of a simple space heater for wintertime use.
