Notice how they go out of their way to say it is NOT cold fusion.

How about we get the fusion reactors working here on Earth, then we’ll worry about spacecraft engines.

“...lattice confinement fusion...”

This is not a new idea. This approach has been talked about for years.

“ says that when she would handle samples after an experiment, they were very warm.”

So, it’s lukewarm fusion on your desk in a lab.

Notice how they go out of their way to say it is NOT cold fusion.

They come right up to the edge of saying it but don’t.

“Lattice confinement fusion initially has lower temperatures and pressures” than something like a tokamak, says Benyo. But “where the actual deuteron-deuteron fusion takes place is in these very hot, energetic locations.”

Yup. cramming deuterium into platinum by electrochemistry is totally different from using pressure to cram deuterium into erbium and titanium!

I maintained back in the day that the deuterium in the platinum effectively lost its electrons in the sea on electrons that make up the structure of conductive metals like platinum.

That's pretty much what the article says for the erbium and titanium.

Maybe they will get a small example working, but when they build a full sized one ... Kaboom!
