DJ Cravens, Here is another variable mass theory for LENR -
"Theories of variable mass particles and low energy nuclear phenomena" http://www.scribd.com/doc/139182265/Theories-of-variable-mass-particles-and-low-energy-nuclear-phenomena I am not sure if it is related to Williams' approach. -- Lou Pagnucco DJ Cravens wrote: > You might notice that Pharis' theory that the patent was based on uses the > neo-coulombic potential.
