(alt.fusion cull, apparently true) (This is a rumor that's making the rounds in the Netnews alt.fusion discussion; I refer Netnews readers there for more information.) There's a rumor that a Swedish chemist, back in 1926, submitted a patent application for a technique of using palladium to turn hydrogen into helium (essentially, the same setup that's behind the recent "fusion in a jar" excitement). There's another rumor that he gave up, because the technique generated too much heat! -- Paul S. R. Chisholm, AT&T Bell Laboratories
