A number of experiments that feature violent activity in water share the same characteristics that LeClair observed in his LENR experiments. I see the referenced experiment listed above demonstrating the production of Protonated Water Clusters in the plasma when a laser beam ionizes gold Nano particles in an aqueous solution of uranium salts. LeClair can also produce his reaction using a laser beam. The referenced experiment is less energetic than the LeClair experiment because no sacrificial attractive material is present. But in both experiments, collapsing cavatation bubbles are formed and Protonated Water Clusters are generated which catalyze proton based cold fusion reactions. What the other commenter miss in this type of reaction is that cavatation can provide a continuum of energy levels from weak to extreme. It is adjustable. LeClair has mentioned that he can adjust the energy level in his reaction to produce only heat without radiation to a full range of element transmutation which is accompanied by heavy radiation. Until the other evaluators of this reaction understand its true dynamics, they will continual to misunderstand what underlying processes are going on in the LeClair effect. To wit, if there is no attractive shock wave produced to provide added kinetic energy, then transmutation is gentle and well behaved. Yes the shock wave is optional with the addition of an attractive sacrificial metal within six bubble diameters of bubble formation. At its root, the LeClair effect is cold fusion.
