It may possibly help understanding if I amplify my previous 
remarks with the following explanation of proton-electron 
interaction outside and inside palladium.

 Fig.1 Bernoulli pressure drop between P and e 
        relative to the external environment


Fig.1 shows the difference in pressure brought about 
by the electric and magnetic flow and counter flow 
(vortex tube) between the proton and the electron 
when the hydrogen atom is outside the palladium and 
subjected to full external Beta-atmosphere pressure. 
The concentration of dots represents the magnitude 
of the pressure. Because of the Bernoulli pressure 
drop between the proton and the electron they are 
pushed together by the external beta atmosphere 
pressure.

 Fig.2 No Bernoulli pressure drop between P and e 
         relative to the internal environment


Figure 2 show the situation inside the palladium. 
The Beta-atmosphere pressure surrounding the proton
-electron complex is reduced to the point that the 
Bernoulli pressure drop disappears. The electron is 
no longer pushed towards the proton and is free to 
wander about in an analogous way, and for the same 
reason that ions are free to wander about in aqueous 
solutions.

Obviously, I have represented a boundary case, but 
this in essence is what is going on inside the 
palladium.

Cheers,

Frank Grimer
