The case for Muon catalyzed fusion

The interrelated nuclear reactions that are occurring concurrently in a typical LENR reactor are multifold. For example, In the ECCO reactor, there is likely multiple nuclear active reactions going on at once. These reactions include nucleon decay that is producing sub atomic particles (muon and pions), muon/pion catalyzed fusion and fission.

But how can we tell the nature of these interrelated reactions. One way to determine if muons are producing nuclear reactions is to confine the reactor in a magnetic bottle to increase the population of muons that are confined to the nuclear active zone of the reactor. If muons are active, then there should be a marked increase in the level of transmutation that is occurring. There should also be a increase in the energy production of the reactor since the muons will decay inside the nuclear active zone. Also, muon catalyzed fusion should increase inside the reactor rather than wasted in the far field. If no difference in transmutation or energy production levels are seen then the PRIMARY LENR reaction is the sole source of the transmutation.

Low-energy nuclear reactions and the leptonic monopole

This experiment shows that U238 is fissioning at a faster rate than U235 since U235 was enriched.

The uranium was far removed in distance from the Primary LENR reaction source. Yet both U238 and U235 were found to fission. Muon induced fission is the likely cause of this fission reaction.

Quote from Shane D.

Sorry, but I am having a hard time reconciling the fact that the 3 authors providing their fuel ash, never proved their original claims. That is not how science works.

We are not doing science here. This is not a question of science. It is a reverse engineering process whereby existing systems are analyzed to determine how they operates. Even the builders of these systems do not understand how they work. These builders have stumbled onto these system by chance and are trying to perfect them using trial and error methods. The goal in the reverse engineering process is to find common mechanisms that might improves the operation of these systems in general. This exercise is also a method of documenting the operation principles of these systems that have been deduced so that they are not lost as usually happens in this area of LENR.

Quote from THHuxleynew

In the case of Rossi it is clear that the builder has no evidence (and has never had any evidence) that these devices work. That makes reverse engineering a process nearly certain to be futile. Although Rossi moves on to new devices it is notable:

(1) The old devices are left abandoned, seemingly of no value

The discarded systems are a learning experiences and they teach what must be accomplish in the new system to make the final SYSTEM usable. The old systems add tools to the inventors toolkit.

(2) Each new generation device has flakier calorimetry than the previous (and the original demos were obviously flaky).

Calorimetry is only a problem when the system produces a low COP. If the system produces 100KeV and needs 100 milliamps as input then calorimetry is not that important.
