QuoteJust like Rothwell, he believes in the old guard cold fusion meme, Bob Greenyer who believes in electronuclear gravity and the neutrino catalyst, and Rossi who believes in the Zitterbewegung electron model. Without a common worldview, communication is difficult so let us just have fun and see who turns out to be correct in the long run if ever.
You're right but I gave such a common ground with my cold fusion model. The LENR occurs when multiple atoms collide along single line - think of nanopiston fusion attenuated by Astroblaster effect (unidimensional metal lattice Mossbauer effect).
Despite that this arrangement and explanation looks trivial, it explains aspects and insights of multiple cold fusion theories at the same moment, i.e. it explains, why these insights were brought into explanations of cold fusion:
- The low-dimensional arrangement of atoms explains affinity of LENR to nanocracks and domain dislocation, raised with Ed Storms and others, because motion of atoms gets constrained to a line there.
- Unidimensional collisions are actually required for to get electron shielding in work: at the moment of atom impact the electrons get shaken at the connection line of atom between atom nuclei - thus effectively shielding repulsive Coulomb force of positively charged atom nuclei with negative charge of electrons.
- During atom collisions the electron orbitals get massively entangled, they form orbital tube around place of collisionand energetically dense place at the connection line, which brings "heavy electrons" and environment for "slow neutrons" of Widom-Larsen theory.
- The neutrons are waveguided with electron orbital tubes along connection line of atoms, they get absorbed heavily so that they cannot escape into outside from there. The same applies for products of fusion, namely X-ray and gamma ray photons. Helium production is thermalized to He4 and output energy gets reabsorbed there, which explains three mysteries of cold fusion.
- The decay of electron orbital tube is followed with ejection of plasmoids - sorta vortex rings of electrons along connection line and their decay can be also followed with burst of collimated X-ray jets (Hagelstein and others)
- Electrons the motion of which is constrained to a narrow space exhibit quantum Zitterbewegung I don't think it's related to cold fusion, but to electron capture and/or overunity mechanism in which many seeming nuclear reactions may actually generate energy.
- The connection line is place where effects of Cassimir vacuum can take place, as we have ends of dense rods of matter here. This area effectively decreases the force constants of forces, thus making atom nuclei even easier to merge and/or exchange their neutrons. It's decay releases scalar waves and magnetic vortex rings of vacuum, which propagate like magnetic monopoles or anapoles (spiral tracks of cold fusion reactions).
