Not a respirator maker but a low cost way to make personalized retainers for the ubiquitous surgical masks to help eliminate air leaks.
The company doesn’t charge you for using the app to create a face mask retainer, however the cost of 3d printing is going to be around $20-$30.

This reminds me of the principles of thermoacoustic engines - e.g. creating pressure oscillations to extract energy from the higher pressure portions of the sonic waves

An interesting paper that could provide additional insight into building a more comprehensive computational model.
We provide the first experimental confirmation of a three-way quantum coherence identity possessed by single pure-state photons. Our experimental results demonstrate that traditional wave-particle duality is specifically limited by this identity. As a consequence, we show that quantum duality itself can be amplified, attenuated, or turned completely off. In the Young double-slit context this quantum coherence identity is found to be directly relevant, and it supplies a rare quantitative backup for one of Bohr's philosophical pronouncements.
In looking at this question, I believe the assumptions that underlie existing codes will work against successful simulation of LENR effects. Additional physics probably needs to be included to be able to account for LENR effects because the objectives of the current codes are to create models that account for physics outside the LENR domain. Therefor simplifications of interactions that preclude LENR are already built into the assumptions and models being coded. What is needed is insight into the nature of LENR, that can be captured into an interactions models which can be reduced to code. As an example I believe the successful evolution of DFT into Nuclear DFT involved the incorporation of additional interactions, based on the theoretical work of Nikolay Bogolyubov. I would expect a similar effort to be required to successfully model LENR.
Came across an interesting read and thought it might help organize some group think.

SRI has a very good reputation and is hardly likely to issue "fake" reports. A reproducible LENR effect is bedrock for technological development - it would be very helpful toward expanding knowledge if a "lab kit" based on this would be developed.

I agree with Hank -having worked for both private industry and government your best protection is to get a basic recipe out there as soon as possible and as widely as possible.As long as only a few people know how to do this, governments can "declare" it controlled for national security, take all your notes and working copies, automatically making it a crime to discuss any details about your process. They have done it before and can do it again. Patents are no protection against this process because national security trumps the protection of intellectual property.
One of the biggest problems we face is a lack of standardization in the description of relationships, concepts, etc. In my brief Federal career I pushed for the development and use of Ontologies for science and engineering but -"deaf ears". However, the standarization of semantic meanings would go a long way toward identifying patterns of relations among data across experiments
me356,
I am retired so I really have no desire to start a commercial enterprise. Also my field is computational science not physics, I am MIT trained (class of 71) so I can learn quickly. I am more than willing to sign NDAs and non-competes if my skill would be of some use to you in putting a testable experiment together. Just let me know how I can help.

me356,
you are right to be careful although the details will eventually be discovered. What you have described could easily be converted into a diy thermonuclear weapon. Gunpowder was the last discovery that I can think of that created such a dramatic shift of destructive power from nation-states to individuals
In doing research for a metal additive manufacturing tool, I was very surprised to discover a robust use of household level magnetrons to build laboratory plasma torches for atomic spectrometry, here are some references:
Uhm, Han S., Yong C. Hong, and Dong H. Shin. "A microwave plasma torch and its applications." Plasma Sources Science and Technology 15.2 (2006): S26.
Green, Karyn M., et al. "Electronic excitation temperature profiles in an air microwave plasma torch." Plasma Science, IEEE Transactions on 29.2 (2001): 399-406.

Bilgic, A. M., et al. "Design and modelling of a modified 2.45 GHz coaxial plasma torch for atomic spectrometry." Spectrochimica Acta Part B: Atomic Spectroscopy 53.5 (1998): 773-777.
maybe use a microwave field to sustain the plasma (like a plasma torch) and run a variation of current pulses through it to form magnetic interactions??
perhaps an extended in-situ study using synchchroton radiation as in the following paper could be used to "guide the parameters" into a higher rate of production:
Saito, Hiroyuki, et al. "Syntheses of novel metal hydrides under high pressure and high pressure with aid of in-situ synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction measurement." (2014).
the following paper of first principles calculations found a small attraction between H atoms at hollow (100 plane) surface sites because of electron screening:
"For the HL ( 100 ) site, we find even a small attraction between the H atoms."

Another interesting paper indicating a shortening of hydrogen bonds based on electrons changing orbitals:
