Well, IIRC, there is no way this works UNLESS there is something going on at the quantum level. I’m wondering if the atmospheric static field has soemthing to impact the nuclear level of this reaction. There are some really strange things that happen around tornadoes, like large metal objects getting picked up and set partially over a fence, without breaking the fence, or 2 x 4s jammed through a tree, or an empty tincan halfway through a cinderblock without being collapsed. These and many more anomolous things have been observed from tornado scenes.
Folks don’t want to give any credence to the ‘Hutchison effect’, but they cannot explain how a wooden ladle can be embedded in an aluminium block without burning the wooden part. We have dedicated ridiculers who see the name Hutchison and go ape with their ridicule routines.
Perhaps it functions better during CME? I wondered if there was a local effect that made Pons and Fleishman happen...perhaps their experiment was located near a radiation source, a uranium deposit, or magnetic variations in the earth’s magnetic field?
Vortex flow theory might explain some of it.
