Very provocative point about effective charge in the alpha
which has captured two heavy electrons, and it leads to much
more...

Fred, I'm surprised nobody picked up on this, since there
is, in the reported literatue, so much strange transmutation
results showing up in CF experiments, some from competent
experimenters. Few have dared an explanation for these
oddball isotopes.
Now, for the first time we have not only an explanation but
anelegant explanation that covers so much more than just
transmutation.
How do you get heavier elements than Pd, such as silver,
gold, iridium, mercury, etc... without somethting like what
Fred has suggested here? I hope that Fred and I have not
gotten so far afield here with this theory that others think
this (*e-) is not a serious pursuit, nor valid model.
Think about it. You know that some of these transmutation
results are solid - so how else can you get some of these
isotopes without Pd in the cathodes taking on alphas (and
quite a few at that)? Or... what other plausible mechanism
is out there ? or which explains how alphas, normally so
stable, can react with Pd?
> Helium burning in CF, possible ?
Yes. There are so many odd combinations of isotopes showing
up in CF cathodes that there must be some very strange
nucleonics going on at a *low* level, building up from the
bottom rather than down from the top i.e. a reactant way
below palladium in terms of Z. There are really only three
choices deuterium, oxygen and helium. Usually the D2 is
assumed. But nobody thought much of the possibility of
alphas reacting, because this fact has been drummed into our
collective heads from the educational system - that alphas
are extraordinarily stable. Which is true, normally. But
alphas may also have a big "appetite" for electronium, and
after a two course dinner, then they are a pushover to fuse
with almost anything in the neighborhood. And compared with
D2 they are four time more greedy and will always snatch the
heavy electron away.
Very interesting with regard to Carbon showing up when there
shouldn't be any there, being the result of 3 alphas
combining... or even more provocative would be the many
anecdotal reports of Carbon turning to Fe, etc. such as this
report from G. Mallove some time ago (which I first read it,
I thought the guy had finally gone bonkers... carbon to
iron... no way, right?)
WAY!! But a non-obvious way that depends on the existence of
the heavy electron electronium (*e-) which is a triad of
Ps+e- with fully a third of its pre-formation mass tied up
as binding energy.
You start pumping a lot of amps into carbon, then what
happens? we suggest that it will start accumulating
electronium. At a certain point there will be so much
electronium "wanting" to get into low but forbidden orbits
in that C nucleus that it becomes very unstable. It will
tend to oscillate within the strong force limits (morph into
"probability wave-forms") between either 3 alphas and/or the
Carbon 12. You get enough of these wannabe alphas pulsating
in Carbon which has too much electronium, and who knows...?
The role of high current: Rather than forcing the nucleus
into an excited state which low voltage, high amperage
electrical stimulation, which it could scarcely do anyway,
an imposed high current serves only to push all the
electronium into the closest possible "orbital" of certain
elements - which orbital has an ionization energy of about
244.8 eV or less, where the radius of the heavy electron has
been reduced to below e-12 meters, giving the inner orbital
a sphere-smear which is about 3000 times smaller than that
of a normal hydrogen atom (for comparison). Somehow... the
extent of the strong force is periodically expanded out
nearer to this radius. The strong force has a normal range
of about e-15 meters BUT don't forget that it is normally
137 times greater in magnitude than electrostatic repulsion,
so it doesn't have to go all the way out to the close
electronium orbital.
At this close range, the probability of catalyzing any
oddball LENR reactions with have been increased by many
orders of magnitude, and we can let QM tunneling. or some
correlate take over from there, but is this modality a pure
invention?
In truth, even I am far from convinced that the
rationalization is not much closer to science fiction. It is
compelling NOT because of any real proof but only because it
provides so very many elegant answers to so very many vexing
problems. And the same was said of Jules Verne's wild
guesses in his day - he was going with his inner logic - so
let me just end this by saying that on the off-chance that
this all this anecdotal evidence continues to persist with
stronger experimentation, then the electronium modality
above is the best (probably the only) plausible way to
account for this improbability (the fusion of higher Z
elements)... and, in the history of science, more improbable
things have proven true.
....but not many...
Here is Mallove's account:
"The second source of a carbon arc in air experiment is
from ICCF6: Kenjin Sasaki from Tokyo, an agronomy consultant
from Tokyo distributed a very interesting protocol which is
like METHOD #3. He gave me photos of the process and the
results, which would seem possible for any high-school group
to verify. I will be publishing these photos and protocols
in Infinite Energy #10, asking readers to try it. In the
inimitable "Japanese English" - only slightly fixed,
Sasaki's instructions:
**************
1. Ready for Job
2. Graphite crucible (four nines purity)
Carbon rod
Copper plate (for cooling)
Tray for water cooling
Electric welder (100 V, 10 A) or Auto Battery
3. MaterialsCarbon powder (high purity) Cooling water
4. Order of Experiment
A Put 2 to 3 grams of carbon powder in graphite
crucible
B Strike electric discharge arc with the electrode,
about 1 minute, done about 3 to 4 times only
(i.e. no more than four times) -- [implies pausing
between 1-minute arcs]
5. Inspection
A. Spread remaining carbon powder on paper
B. Slide magnet under that paper. You can see locus of the
magnet -- it shows
the iron bits [!!!! - my comment, EFM]
C. Take these [magnetically separated] materials and examine
with a magnifying glass. You will find [among them] a
brilliant alloy [!!!!, yes, I have photos of this alloy! -
my comment, EFM]
6. Reappearance
This experiment is very easy for young student, literary
person, bank man,
woman, etc.

**********************************
If I have the time in the next few weeks and wherewithal, I
would like to try
this myself, but I will likely not have the time. I am told
by Chris Akbar in
Boston (with the Kushi Foundation) that she has tried the
experiment and it
worked for her. She said it is important to keep the
amperage between 8 and 10 amps. She used an automobile
battery charger.
I do not think it is really necessary to have a static tray
of cooling water
under a graphite plate or crucible. I imagine that doing the
experiment on a
thick graphite plate would work as well.
Best wishes,
