The so called Erosion phenomenon was discovered in a series of electrolytic experiments marked by unexplained changes in a pool of cooling water outside of the catalytic cell. After 40 minutes of electrolytic cell operation, water on the tungsten anode side of the cooling vessel started losing its transparency.
Water on the stainless steel cathode of the pool of cooling water remained transparent, at the same 40 C temperature. A sample of bubbly water, removed from the anode side, was tested for induced gamma radioactivity. No such radioactivity was found in it; the sample became transparent after 24 hours. Attempts to reproduce the long-term loss of cooling water transparency with other electrolytes, and under different electrical discharge conditions, were not successful. But the effect was highly reproducible when experimenting with the tungsten-anode electrolytic cell and the 7 M KF electrolyte containing 50% of heavy water. [image: 341fig1.jpg] That cooling water on the outside of the electrolytic cell's glass reactor shell at the right side (see Figure 1) is close to the anode while cooling water on the left side is close to the cathode. The disappearance of bubbles, after the electrolysis, was very slow (half-life of about 10 hrs). Attempts to explain the phenomenon in terms of cavitation, and other ultrasonic effects, were not successful. The only satisfactory explanation was possible within the framework of the erzion model. Authors believe that bubbles are produced through the action of neutral Erzions.

Urutskoev in this study of the nature of the LENR reaction is that transmutation occurs at a distance and at a latter time from the source of the LENR reaction. Conclusions The key experimental results presented in this paper can be summarized as follows. 1) The electric explosion of a titanium foil in an uranyl salt entailed a marked distortion of the initial U isotope distribution in the solution. The “lower” sample ( ~ 2-3 cm3) shows depletion in 235U (Rlw = 0.94 0.01), while the “upper” sample ( ~ 10 cm3) shows a more pronounced enrichment (Rup = 1.18 0.07). 2) The processes initiated by the electric explosion result in a decrease in the specific concentrations of both U isotopes but the 238U concentration decreases to a larger extent, giving rise to “enrichment effect”. 3) At the instant of electric explosion, no induced uranium fission is observed and no fission neutrons are detected. 4) Within 1-3 ms after the end of current pulse, gas counters filled with 3He detected some signals having, in all probability, electromagnetic origin. 5) At the instant of electric explosion, the 234Th secular equilibrium in the uranyl solution was disturbed. The most pronounced disturbance of the secular equilibrium was observed in “lower” samples, and subsequently the equilibrium was restored with the period T = 24.5 days. In the “upper” samples, the 234Th equilibrium was disturbed to a much lesser extent and the time variation was almost missing. 6) In some experiments, -measurements of the “upper” samples revealed disturbance of the equilibrium between the 234Th 92.5 keV doublet and the 1001 keV -line of its daughter product, 234mPa, i.e. within the proper thorium decay chain. As posited by Holmlid, LENR produces muons. This particles are highly penetrating and will induce nuclear reactions at a distance and delayed in time from the point of their creation. The bubbles in the Erzion phenomenon are likely helium bubbles produced by muon catalyzed fusion. Erzions are really muons that produce delayed nuclear reactions at a distance from their point of creation. The lack of gamma radiation might be explained through the entangled connection between the muons and the source of their creation. Energy produced by the muon induced nuclear reaction is transported back to the source of the LENR reaction. The Erzion experiment can be used to experimentally analyze the nature of the LENR reaction in great detail by placing various types of shielding between the LENR reaction and the bubble formation. The role of distance between the muon source might be determined and muon detectors might be used in the experiments.
