Jed several days ago listed the link to the Japanese CF Society Conference papers. Its 235 pages of interesting experimental and theoretical content.
http://www.jcfrs.org/file/jcf14-proceedings.pdf Some of the theory claims to explain much of the CF phenomena. There seems to be reported a good deal of energy reactions in the order of 100’s of ev per reaction. Vortexers should be aware of this information. I suspect that the Swedish professors have called in the experts to help resolve the theory associated with the N-H reaction and make the science as sound as can be to support the acceptance by the money sources. It did not come through to my regular email account. One needs to access Jed’s item via the Vortex-l page.

For a moment let's consider an "empty" Fullerene. A lot is known about them http://web.mit.edu/anish/www/Carbon-JBH-2004.pdf Of course, the sphere itself, if large enough, could be a Casimir cavity which would then perhaps have a zone of energy alteration inside the sphere. The carbon walls, however, are too strong to compress, so there is no internal "force" per se. Would a zone of energy depletion then tend to draw in mass from another dimension? That is this premise. No fusion, simply a gateway for something like "quantum foam" (Wheeler conception). My understanding is that the maximum value of the Casimir force is found at 2nm wall separation. Is that your understanding? This corresponds to a diameter of which is larger than the interior space of the C60 sphere. See the images above - and the conclusion that the diameter of the C60 is about 7 angstrom. This is actually smaller than the Bohr diameter (twice the Bohr radius). Since even hydrogen is not encouraged to enter - there should be an ultra vacuum inside C60. Anyway - the point is that if the FD is also a Casimir cavity, albeit too small and too strong to allow the contents to be pressurized by the Casimir force, and not the most robust cavity size for gain; yet - this cavity could still serve as a "wormhole" to the Dirac Sea since its interior is "beyond a vacuum" in also excluding radiation and atoms. ___________________________________________ Imagine... a Fullerene... which is of course 60 atoms of carbon arranged in the famous tightly bound sphere, and known to be superconductor in certain conditions -- but now we fully hydrogenate these carbon atoms with deuterium to produce C60D60. I can think of no reason that this cannot be done. A brief google turns up nothing for this exact species, but did turn up an indication that the hydrogen version, C60H60 has been made in the Lab... If C60 will hydrogenate at all, then it should be possible to use only deuterium to arrive at C60D60. The reason: well, consider that FD or Fullerene Deuteride - C60D60 - would have interesting nuclear properties - as a massive stable boson in a dense unit. Eat your heart out, Higgs :-) Carbon is all three boson types: a nuclear boson, an atomic boson and a molecular boson. Ditto for deuterium. Ditto for FD but, wow... FD has an atomic weight of 840 amu. That's almost 7 times more massive than the Higgs, and extremely stable. It is probably superconductive as well, but that is a guess. Thus, FD would be a massive boson in a perfect sphere containing nuclear active isotopes and possibly superconductive, and one more feature - in the size range of many excitons. Of course, there are larger Fullerenes (in amu) but carbon alone has high nuclear stability so having lots of deuterium present could make this hyper-boson most interesting for fusion ... say as a target for ICF... or even for implosion by SPP. Who knows? FD-CF or FD-ICF ... take your pick. You heard it first on Vortex... :-)
