[0057] So far, though LENR cells are already existing
known, but they work with the risk of exotherm unstable effects, loss or
harmful explosions or harmful radiation
can lead developments. Are also pulsed systems
conceivable, although not self-sustaining, so do not
are self-sufficient. A pulse of energy is used to heat
