LENR: Low Energy Nuclear Reactions

(Possible synthesis of ideas?)

aka:

• CANR: Chemically Assisted Nuclear Reactions
• LANR: Lattice Assisted Nuclear Reactions
• CMNS: Condensed Matter Nuclear Science
• Lattice Enabled Nuclear Reactions (alternate expansion of LENR)
• Muon Catalyzed Fusion (MCF?)
• Cold Fusion (shh, don't say that out loud)

Cold Fusion "real research"

I was pleased to see that some articles on Wikipedia take a serious / scientific look at the possibility of cold fusion.

I then made comments to the Talk page for each of the two articles that I had looked at, and both were reverted on the basis: WP:NOTFORUM by AndyTheGrump. I'll try to avoid making a comment about the reversion.

Here is a slight rewrite combining the two comments:

I note in the article on Cold Fusion that "palladium can absorb up to 900 times its own volume of hydrogen gas, storing it at several thousands of times the atmospheric pressure" and the implication (at least) that might help to reach a viable cold fusion implementation.

I note in the article on Muon-catalyzed fusion the idea that Muons can catalyze fusion reactions at lower temperatures, possibly as low as room temperature.

My thought from the peanut gallery (that is, with no particular expertise in the field, and certainly not enough to comment intelligently), is just to ask whether it's possible that some combination of the two effects might lead to another step in the right direction toward workable (that is, greater than break-even) cold fusion.

I don't expect any credit for that idea, I just hope that it occurs, or gets called to the attention of researchers in the field(s) who might investigate it "intelligently".

Note: I have thoughts of posting essentially (maybe exactly) the same thing on Quora -- I am disappointed that Wikipedia does not feel comments like this are acceptable on a Talk page.
