In reply to Teslaalset's message of Fri, 30 Nov 2012 10:27:19 +0100: Hi, [snip] >http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/description?CC=US&NR=8303865B1&KC=B1&FT=D&ND=&date=20121106&DB=&locale=en_EP [snip] Note that he primarily talks abut D (though tries to keep the patent as broad as possible by including the other Hydrogen isotopes). The implication is that new alpha particles are being created from the D, and it is these that are being measured. It would be interesting to measure the energy of the individual alpha particles before and after addition of D. That would distinguish between new alphas and an actual acceleration of the decay rate.
I suspect that the radioactive material is actually enhancing the CF reaction (by mass producing f/H) rather than the D enhancing the decay rate of the radioactive material. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
