What does Seth Putterman have to do with this: Vortex L Putterman

Snippet:

This patent doesn't show up on google searches of discussion boards.

I am curious how it fits into the various LENR categories, and also whether the approach works on nano-scales, and in which atmospheres, emulsions and for which crystal distributions.

Although the fusion is claimed to be initiated at low temperature, the USPTO did not reject it as a "cold fusion" claim- maybe because of the mention of particle beams?

One of the inventors, Seth Putterman, is also a sonofusion researcher.

Does anyone have any insights on the patent's value? Do the claims conflict with any pending patents? Does it overlap any current LENR approaches?

Thanks, Lou Pagnucco

I'm not all the familiar with Putterman, as I haven't followed sonofusion all that much (there are some good papers on it in the conference preceedings).

I'll have to look at your link and do some reading. I "may" have more time today to do that than usual, as we are in the middle of a winter storm, and I may not be able to get to work.
