Robert I think you make good points, not sure what the inner cylinder is made of and I guess that if it is metal it has to be thin in order to not show up on the weight. There is also the possiblity that eddi current's heat the cyllinder at high temps but then can we keep the wires cold. Also, this is speculative, but we really don't know the inner process if this thing works, can there be a local magnetic field due to the reaction, the thing is the only way I can figure out that the nuclear process is happening without radiation is that the there is a deallocated electron squeezed between the reactants in the nuclear process that mediates the energy and momentum to the outer metal in the reaction in stead of releasing radiation, so there is a movement in the electron, if this is somewhat synchronized locally we might get some magnetics to show up. This is only speculating, but I think that we should be careful whith what we don't know, you seam to find good arguments against inductive heating, and this might leave us with resistive heating and a good evidence that the core is hot due to the reaction and not because of resistive heating.
