Single circuits generate nuclear reactions

Well, fine theories.

Just do not forget that this effect is about micro-powder (crystallite) structure of graphite. As was noted, two things happen here: magnetic field amplification (due to short-living magnetic monopoles appearing inside the carbon rod) and free-field electron acceleration (which is more evident with static B-field than without). So, it's not exactly about fusion/fission, but of course it happens as a result of magnetic monopoles appearing.

You may try running the same device with other conducting substances that have micro-powder structure: a pack of carbon nanotube powder may do even a better job, but even a pack of fine metallic powder may work as well.

Just do not be closed to the alternative understanding through DC acoustic waves. (without these, kinetics in physics is some fantasy model that does not reveal a true mechanism of action-counteraction).

Another way to test if this type of device puts out beta would be to use another element for a test run.
Iron 56 to Manganese 56, here are the specs for Manganese 56.
# Spin: 3+
# Half life: 2.5785 H ( 0.0078 % )
# Mode of decay: Beta to Fe-56
    * Decay energy: 3.695 MeV

With a half life of  2.57 hours there would be no doubt of the beta if it remains radioactive for that long.

Manganese oxide is mentioned which may be worth trying: it should be noted that planar micro particles are likely to be better than spherical ones due to larger impact area, that's why graphite is naturally good for discharge pulsing.

this morning , in PARIS, there was an alerte (just like in the last second war)

for a moment I think some one in france was playing with this device ...

but it seems there is no reason for this alerte !!

I might add EE Commander 'Groundloop' thinks this is an EMF process.  He also suggests photo paper for definitive resolution. I guess we should all place our beta, I mean, our 'bets' now.     We can trade beers at the first International Overunity Conference.   

Feynman: low-energy beta process , K-capture
Abba: must be nuclear effect, beta process
Koen: Beta capture, Protelf
R: beta Scattering, K-capture
Groundloop: powerful magnetic pulse ("EMF")
Juan: Boron-12 Beta Decay
Naudin: Boron-12 Beta Decay catalyzed by X-rays and 'spark gap'
UncleFester: Beta, K-capture, but does not care what it is as long as it powers his house.
Jon: Rotating magnetic field
Frank: Beta

Dang!  Now that's gonna be a party!   I propose we hold the conference in Berlin.  (Stefan, can I sleep on your couch?)

As for the theoretical bets, since all the obvious ones are taken, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say its, "Current-induced beta emission in magnetically-biased bulk graphite arising from cooper-pair-bisoliton recombination at graphene nanocrystal boundaries" -- (or something like that....)
