Why use gas when you can use a lightbulb 😉
Interesting news indeed:
Cold Fusion Nuclear Reactions Inside Compact Fluorescent Bulbs?http://atom-ecology.russgeorge.net/2014/12/04/compact-fluorescent-fusion/
Unique Hg Stable Isotope Signatures of Compact Fluorescent Lamp-Sourced Hghttp://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/es303940p
I believe the e-cat could also be reduced in size – in fact, it could well be seen as an IR lightbulb…
What is needed now are better ways of collecting the em radiation (IR – visible – UV) by such devices. Perhaps a graphene sleeve ? :

Such a sleeve could then be used to generate electricity, reducing the need for heat input to just system startup. With a much smaller amount of gas needed, a canister-based methane and/or hydrogen starter could be used – and if it is “just” electricity that is required, then a simple power switch would be all that would be needed to source the electricity from whatever source was to-hand, with preference given to power tapped from the graphene sleeve.”
What is really important, however, is that what is happening to the isotopic ratios of Mercury inside “normal” compact fluorescent lightbulbs used in hundreds of millions of homes across the world is undeniably transmutation. So, for transmutation-based systems – and that means slow neutron transfer systems – it is now safe to say “the cat is very much out of the bag” [ pun intended 🙂 ]. We are literally surrounded by LENR in our own homes…
With so many inexpensive fluorescent light bulbs around (probably billions by now), it should not be too expensive or hard to test…
As to there being no cold fusion, it all depends on how tight your definition is. There is certainly no cold version of classical hot fusion going on (how could there be, no Deuterium / Tritium) and, indeed, it looks like there is a large increase in the relative abundance of 196Hg at the expense of the other isotopes, showing a loss of neutrons (more “fission” than “fusion”, loss than gain), so it is a wonder where those neutrons wen t. Now, either these fluorescent light bulbs are beaming out “neutron death rays”, or slow neutrons are being released that are relatively benign (that is, don’t kill the cat as it sits under the fluorescent light bulb, or neutrons are being broken down in some way – now, there’s a thought.
What this research does suggest, however, is that university labs around the world need to get busy re-assessing the safety of these fluorescent light bulbs, in particular looking for any telltale signs of fast neutrons and gamma radiation, then slow neutrons, and finally some other form of em radiation that may be emanating from the light bulb (perhaps the bulbs are brighter than they should be, for example, or maybe that is part of how they are generating their light and why they st art to fade?)
