All of this is consistent with:
- An appropriate catalytic surface being accidentally produced by electrolysis and Pd-D saturation;
- This process being more or less a matter of time and luck using just Pd;
- The catalytic process being enhanced with heat and caused by the flux of hydrogen through the catalytic surfaces produced;
- Too much heat destroying the catalytic surfaces and thus subsequent excess heat generation;
So, why not start experimenting with proper catalysts?
