I recently recalled that a few years ago I was tipped off that Defkalion had Piantelli as a consultant (I don't know if directly or indirectly through Nichenergy). After pondering a bit about this, one could say that their theories do look similar, although obviously they're worded differently. In turn, both theories also somehow have elements similar to Leif Holmlid's. Could it be they're all looking at the exactly same phenomenon under different angles?
I've written a Google Document summarizing how the reaction is supposed to work in all cases. Can you spot the similarities as well? A common theme seems to be exciting hydrogen atoms dissociated from hydrogen molecules.
