In response to a few statements made on this subject:

Sifting through other other newsgroups, mainly sci.physics, sci.research
and sci.chem provides a wealth of additional information on this subject.
Anyone *really* interested in this (like me) should temporarily subscribe
to these groups (and any others you find).  Here the answers to a few
questions brought up in this newsgroup.

The little gizmo has (reputedly) put out 4W for 1W put into it for
>100 hours.

The reason for the disclosure to the (inaccurate) public press is that
someone leaked it.  The two original guys had planned to keep it under
wraps until the April or May edition of Nature (yes, they submitted it
and it was accepted).

A recent posting in sci.chem described the gizmo in detail.  I don't
know what the info source was but you should check it out if you're
following this.

:-) I can just see me in my old age:  "Grandpa, what was the world like
before we had energy from fusion?" :-)
