Pons and Fleischmann initially thought that they were creating a system in which incredible pressure was being exerted upon the deuterium by the palladium lattice. I think the consensus now is that the effective pressure on deuterium and hydrogen loaded in a crystal like that is not actually all that much, and that the mechanism must be due to something other than the interstitial spacing of hydrogen between metal atoms. I actually like the idea of high pressure driving the reaction, but the pressure would not arise from loading. Eric
