I can't recall the date of my first mention of the concept, but here are the particulars of a later message in which I refer to the earlier one:- "To: [email protected] Subject: Picked up from SCQM list From: [email protected] Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2008 11:19:20 +1100" The line in question is:- "Astute Vorts may recognize my suggestion from years ago, that Hy- might act as a replacement for the muon, allowing other nuclei to fuse. :)" > >If the H(-1) entity acts like a muon it would not react. That was my >hypothesis. It would only act like a muon, in as much as it is both heavy and negatively charged. However it wouldn't react like a muon where the nuclear force is concerned. IOW where a real muon is not affected by the nuclear force, a proton at the heart of a negative ion would be. > >I assume from your comment that you do not believe the H(-1) entity would >act like a muon. I appreciate this comment. It both would, and wouldn't. It could bring other nuclei together, but may also take part in the reaction itself. Unlike a muon, the outer electron that gives it its negative charge is only weakly bound (by nuclear energy standards), so it's not likely to survive a nuclear reaction as a negative particle. OTOH, if it's a Hydrino, then it can readily reacquire that second electron from it's environment, if it escapes the initial reaction.
