Helium-3 Generation from the Interaction of Deuterium Plasma
inside a Hydrogenated Lattice: Red Fusion

Ions from a deuterium plasma are allowed to collide with a hydrogen loaded crystal. The authors claim that this interaction produces Helium-3.

Their conclusions are:

It was to demonstrated that Helium-3 could be produced using Deuterium-Ions interacting with Hydrogen-Ions already inside our Hydrogenated Lattice or “Red”, according to Julian Schwinger’s Hypothesis. The results obtained with the Quadrupole Mass Analyzer show masses of three (3) in the mass spectra. Because the average kinetic energy of the plasma was over 10 eV, which is larger than the bonding energy of the molecule of H-D (4.6 eV), H-D molecules are dissociated in the Deuterium Plasma. The Optical Spectra show the distinct peaks that are the visual fingerprint of Helium-3. Therefore, the Atomic Mass three (3) corresponds to Helium-3, as Schwinger predicted.

Yes, Figures 3, 4, and 5 show clear peaks at Mass / Charge = 3 (aka m/Z).This certainly could mean a signal from He-3. There is also a much higher peak at m/Z = 4 that could correspond to He-4.

Let us assume that those two peaks represent background helium. If that were the case the signal from He-3 would be invisible since, as they say, “the percentage of abundance is only 0.000137 in a naturally occurring mixture of Helium isotopes”. So this m/Z = 3 peak cannot be background He-3.

Then what is it? Here is an example of a mass spectrum:http://www.fusionvic.org/LastR…ore-Quality_Rec_Text2.gif

Note that H2+ gives a peak at around 2, which is expected since it has two nucleons and one electron’s worth of positive charge. Now, let us replace one H with a D, getting HD+ and shoot it through our mass spectrometer. It would end up in bin 3 together with our He-3, wouldn’t it?

The authors also present an optical spectrum in Figure 6. “He-3 peaks are clearly identified.”, they say. Are they really?

He-3 should emit the same spectrum as H-4 since they have identical electron systems. Moreover, the spectrum indicates presence of HD with unique peaks at 430, 480 and 890 Nm and this gives support to my “He-3” = HD+ conjecture.

The above explanation seems too simplistic. Please help me out geniuses, where did I think crazy?
