Good thinking. The IBM trick is to cut an atom sized hole in a fixed matrix ~ at the atomic level. That is a really really really neat trick ~ which does mean that we are at the level of control of matter that it is feasible to consider custom built non-molecule ~ molecules.

My candidate for the anode is one of those iron hydride anodes in current use in high energy (or long life) rechargeable batteries.

Almost needless to say my wife has said NO to any table-top experiments with rigging them up to any sort of hydrogen gas feed.

She said "You are not allowed to blow us up"

Which is why I find the tech so interesting. It will allow access to "structures" smaller than photolithography can generate, if the "critical dimensions" to make whatever sort of "quantum cage" is causing the LANR effect to happen need to be in such a size range.

Science (and technology) is SUCH fun! That it is also useful for improving our lives is "just gravy". I suspect that our prehistoric technological forebears felt the same joy while figuring out how to chip flint and "make fire"___________"Wow....look at THAT, woudlya!"!"
