Paul, I have the same speculation as I have said and published many
times based on a comprehensive model. I have predicted that the e-Cat
does not make energy by the Ni+p=Cu reaction, but by formation of
deuterium. I have asked often for tests be made for this nuclear
product. So far, there has been no response.

Any speculation?
My speculation would be D????

Robin, you need to acknowledge what actually is observed rather than
what you think should happen. We are witnessing a novel process
that has several basic characteristics, which are:
1. Hydrogen isotopes can come together in a material to make a
fusion product without emitting the nuclear energy as energetic
particles.
2. When the isotopes are d, the nuclear product is 4He.
3. When the isotopes are a mixture of H and D, the nuclear product
is tritium.
4. When the isotopes are H, the nuclear product is still unknown.
5. When the conditions are suitable for these fusion reactions to
occur, the hydrogen isotope can add to a heavy nucleus to cause
transmutation without emission of energetic particles.
All of these reactions require a very unique condition that is able
to overcome the Coulomb barrier without application of energy and
release the nuclear energy in small units. This result is in direct
contrast to the hot fusion process.
You need to ask what process can cause these observed results. Of
course, NO process can be imagined that could not be rejected for
some reason. That is why the claims are not generally accepted.
Nevertheless, the behavior has now been well established as real and
needs to be explained. Present attempts either ignore most observed
behavior or use unsupported assumptions and reach conclusions that
can not be tested. Consequently, discussing these ideas is a waste
of time. Nevertheless, the process needs to be explained.
I have proposed a process that is consistent with ALL the observed
behavior. I know this because I have actually read most of the
published literature. In addition, I predict behavior that is
expected and can be tested. I can also describe exactly how the e-
Cat works based on the model and how it can be improved. I will
discuss this at ICCF-18. Nevertheless, I find very little interest
exists in discussing these ideas here and great difficultly even
getting them published in conventional journals. Consequently, I
have not shown all the evidence or the details of the process.
Instead, I have decided to use my time testing the ideas. If the
tests are successful, then we can talk again.

Hi,
[snip]
Eric, why do you ignore the obvious reaction of D-e-H = tritium?
This is
the ONLY reaction consistent with all observations.
The ONLY way this reaction will happen is if the electron first
combines with
one of the two nuclei to form either one or two neutrons which then
combine(s)
with the other nucleus to form T (WL IOW). A concurrent fusion of
all three
particles will lead to 3He not T, because the reaction to 3He is a
strong force
reaction, and happens "instantaneously", whereas the reaction to T
would be a
weak force reaction if it happened at all, which it doesn't because
the reverse
weak force reaction is what happens in nature (i.e. T decays the He3).
