I doubt there was no connection. I would guess the work at SPAWAR became a black project. LENR clearly has potential for ship propulsion and other high energy density fuel needs in the Navy. Bob, Yes - that is my feeling as well (no proof whatsoever, other than "coincidence") and deconstruction based on depth or interest (no pun intended). In fact the seeds of a putative black project could go back to before P&F. That was why I brought up that particular patent, but it could have been based on something else which was found in Naval R&D as a consequence of say- torpedoes powered by hydrogen. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jones Beene" > http://www.google/patents/US4489049 > > In 1982 - several years before P&F made the big splash, scientists working > under US Navy contracts filed for what became US 4489049 for "Solid state > hydrogen pumping and storage material." > > Abstract: A solid-state hydrogen storage system.
