Just wanted to add one minor thought to the discussion. Could it be that the
breaking up of the D into pieces might actually take energy from the system
that is then added back by a relatively minor amount of more or less standard H
reaction with nickel? The implications of such a process are strange indeed,
but at least the energy output tracks with what Rossi has been producing.
I suppose that someone might point out that these guys favor using D instead of
H as reactant gases. Perhaps the test cells varied in efficiency and the D
cells won in this special case.
This whole concept makes me wonder about the ability of nano particle heavy
nickel to act as a catalyst to split apart D atoms. AFAIK, no one has reported
such behavior in previous experiments. Is there reason to consider this
particular experiment as being substantially different from previous ones where
nickel was exposed to D? In other words, why now?
I admit that I need the same break that Eric requests. Sometimes you must wait
on the sidelines a bit longer than others before you get the call to enter the
game.

One other exotic possibility comes to mind, thinking about Ni-64. This
nickel isotope appears to be unique in the periodic table, being the highest
ratio of excess neutrons in a stable isotope, compared to the most common
isotope of that element (36/30 = 12%) in nature. (hydrogen-deuterium does
not qualify since H has no neutron)
Not sure what that means, but when one finds an anomaly juxtaposed with a
singularity - the two are unlikely to be the result of coincidence. There is
not much of this isotope available ... OTOH there is more of it than there
is U235 in natural U.
_____________________________________________
Yes - even if plausible way exists in QM for converting
deuterium to hydrogen with gain, that gain obviously does not derive from
the mass of the deuterium, per se.
This leaves these main possibilities, and a few others
1) vacuum energy (ZPE)
2) nickel mass via spin coupling
3) Mills version of redundant ground states
It could be possible that all of these are entwined.
