Hi Bob, I have a different interpretation of what happens. Maybe this will be useful for you:
The idea is simple. What is the easiest way to make small clusters of atoms? Use the analogy with water vapor. Heat, say, Ni or Pd. Very small clusters have its shape determined by the boundary, just like a liquid. So, you heat the metal until it melts. Then, depending on the vapor pressure of nickel it will condense a cloud. I don't have a book with details, but it would be nice to use something that could help the vapor condense. Lithium would be a nice choice, since it is a like Na, but it is less electro positive and reactive, which would be too reducing at that temperature. Then, you apply some discharges, which will pinch some of the clusters. Or, maybe the Li it self will cause the discharge, by acting through its charge on the clusters. It will compress the hydrogen to extremely high pressures, yielding solid metastable hydrogen. If you have, say 4 atoms together, you will obtain a TSC, from akito. Heat after death is when a lot of solid metastable hydrogen. As it evaporates, parts with 4 atoms will be left, which will cold fuse. My theory about cold fusion is slightly different from Akito's, though. It's the same until 1fm of distance between H. But then, HUP kicks in, and won't let a closer approach. Then, a femto solution is found. It is very different from others, though. The first level is 3.7KeV, and this is found by simply solving the Hidrogen atom for another "negative solutions", what allows its existance, though (since what is actually obtained is masse energy of the electron - 3.7KeV), its is that the boundary is no 2pi, but 2pi*137, that is, the electron gives a lot of turns to go back to the starting point. Note that this is only the enegy de broglie wavelength, actually, what you get is a beating, that is a modulated frequency between the actual, very spread location of the electron, which works as the envelope of the de broglie wavelength. Then, the end part is similar to Akito's, though there are stages before that happen. Section 4 of the second paper of the file (The CN paper is not representative of my idea, it's just the figure!) http://www.roxit.ax/CN.pdf The nuclei are squeezed closer and closer, as the system is more stable with higher energy electrons in lower levels, due a new "pseudo nuclei".
