Why exactly: ” reactions suggested here don’t work”? References provided by Francisl indicate they’ve been studied.

I must say, that after reading a bit on the DPF devices I’m truely puzzled why “wariations” of the reactor haven’t been studied. Quite recent publications from LPP indicate that they are fighting some minute metal/oxide impurities, thile the overall structure of the device does not change:
1. they don’t exorcise D2+B10 outcome
2. they don’t change the geometry (like bend the cathodes, so the form a cone instead of a cylinder).
3. there is no info in the influence of anode pyrex insulator length.
… just to mention the most prominent variations.

… while on their 2007 google-talks presentation they stated, that their density-time parameters is just 65 times to low …. e.g. less then two orders of magnitude! I’d expect that in such circumstance one tries every possible (or impossible) variation of his/her device to cross-over. And their recent papers suggest, they only look for minute fine-tuning of the process. that’s strange.

BTW: is there a “beginners guide” which explains what exactly happens within the umbrella shaped current sheath? Because “my everyday experience” with plasma (like thunderbolts) suggest, that current goes through plasma along lines, not surfaces (like spokes between cathode electrode surface and anode). Still, the sheath seem to originate from thin “air” between cathodes? how come?
