This is interesting and it took a while to figure out what could be going on. You have to read between the lines (and even then, we need lots of clarification).
In the context of the Hot-Cat - a “hydrogen-like atom” or ion is a heavier nucleus with one electron, and thus is isoelectronic with hydrogen (in terms of the emission line, especially the Balmer alpha line). The prime example of a hydrogen-like ion for the Hot-Cat, which in fact is the only one which is feasible for LENR is lithium – which is the Li2+ ion. Because this hydrogen-like ion is a two-particle system with an interaction depending on the distance between the two particles, the (non-relativistic) Schrödinger equation can be solved in analytic form, as can the (relativistic) Dirac equation with a spiral orbit and slight continuous IR emission. Here is specific info on the emission: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-alpha In short, because of a the calculated mathematics of this ions orbital, the electron could be a continuous emitter of IR radiation during the time the atom is ionized (which means it is inherently gainful if the ionization is protracted). The calculated cyclic frequency of the electron around the nucleus at the famous 656 nm alpha line is off by a slight amount, due to the extra charge of the nucleus which could imply that this emission line is being “resupplied” or pumped with energy from the zero point field on a continuous basis. This is my interpretation and obviously, I am reading a lot into the paper which isn’t there, so hopefully the author will explain it better (or else Puthoff will). If my interpretation is correct, the extra energy will be seen in the infrared with a strong signature. Jack Cole wrote: Dear Peter, He claimed this in an email to me regarding the paper.
