A little background:

There have been arguments as to whether he is backpedalling in his blog post, or merely explaining himself in a manner that a brief video doesn’t allow. I think I will just let him speak for himself.
You can find a copy of Zawodny’s patent application here:

And here is his presentation from a recent NASA workshop on cold fusion:

Zawodny favors the Widom-Larsen hypothesis, according to which the phenomena associated with “cold fusion” are not really fusion, but a different type of nuclear process known as neutron capture. Those who favor the Widom-Larsen hypothesis also favor the term “LENR” (Low Energy Nuclear Reactions) over “cold fusion”; however, not all who use the term “LENR” are Widom-Larsen devotees.
