Anne, Very true post here. I would like to add to Bill and Richard's posts. I will start by saying that I know a little about his work that he refers to in the Nevada mining facility. As much as it tears a hole in me to say it, I still have to .... Bill is right that the stuff in Joe's website would only fool a person who has no idea about nuclear physics. If you take the portion where he talks about : <<Pb204 + Ni58 + Cl35 > N15 + Si28 + Cu63 + Ir191 [+0.000931 mev] Pb206 + Ni60 + Cl35 > Li6 + S33 + Zn68 + Pt194 [+0.001863 mev] Pb206 + Ni60 + Cl35 >+ 2(O16) + As75 + Pt194 [+0.000931 mev] Pb206 + Ni60 + Cl35 > O18 + S34 + Cr52 + Au197 [+0.001863 mev]>> This is nothing more than a shell game with numbers. The numbers in this case are atomic weights of different elements. Let me tell you in case you are not already aware but an elemenet is defined by the number of protons contained within it's nucleus. If you combine 3 elements together if they join together at all they will combine on the electron level and form a compound. In order to create an entirely new element you must combine these elements at the nucleus level. This requires a tremendous amount of energy which has been pointed out already. I am only familiar with fusion experiments involving dueterium, tridium and lithium. These are all VERY light elements involving 1 or 3 protons in their nucleus. The repulsion force that must be over come is very minute in comparison to what JC is proposing. He goes way beyond adding a neutron or proton to a nucleus, he is proposing combining HUGE nuclei together to form an entirely different element altogether. Yes, it is possible. Yes it can be done. No we will never see the technology in our's or our children's lifetime.
