I was hoping you try to model this scenario -- it was a request! ;) If you can show that a flux of alphas produced by several watts of d+d reactions (dumping the energy to kinetic energy of the alphas) will be sure to cause EMF that will escape from a reactor housing, that will allay concerns on my part that this idea has been too hastily adopted as an assumption. By contrast, if you were to model the situation and determine that any secondary radiation (apart from neutrons) is unlikely to escape, or that the question is difficult to determine, that will egg me on in thinking that a basic assumption in some of the cold fusion reasoning has been flawed. I am thinking of trying to model the system myself, but it looks complex. Eric
