The method of applying high electron fugacity to deuterium loaded
cathodes has the objective of creating an energy focusing effect,
forcing co-centered wavefunction collapse, resulting in electron
catalyzed fusion:
D + e- + D -> He + e- + gamma
The objective is to create simultaneously a high deuteron fugacity
and electron fugacity. Fugacity of a particle type in a given
environment is similar to pressure in that it is a measure of the
energy required to add one more such particles to the environment.
It is of interest that as electron density increases, the fugacity of
a given amount of loaded deuterium decreases. Increasing electron
fugacity increases the loading feasible with a given amount of
electrolysis energy, though adding one particle of each increases the
fugacity of both.
The application of extreme fields to the back side of a loaded
cathode is one way to increase electron fugacity. That is to say a
cathode can be loaded catalytically from one side, the electrolyte
side, and yet be a charged to millions of volts at the surface
presented to the vacuum on the opposing side. Accomplishing this
practically requires application of a surface layer on the cathode-
vacuum interface which reduces the rate of hydrogen evolution into
the vacuum. Such a layer could be an insulating oxide layer thin
enough to support electron tunneling, but not deuterium tunneling.
A high density of electrons at the vacuum surface and just under the
cathode-vacuum surface increases both the deuterium final density and
diffusion rate, it also increases the probability of wavefunction
collapse due to Stark effect orbital stressing due to high electric
field conditions at the surface and immediate subsurface.
Application of a powerful magnetic field parallel to the vacuum
surface additively stresses the deuteron orbitals there via the
Paschen-Back effect and the formation of non-quantum like Rydberg
orbitals, which, in addition to destabilizing electron waveforms and
reducing normal quantum effects, also increases the probability of
electrons existing in the nucleus or experiencing simultaneous
wavefunction collapsing with and within it. A strong laser beam
nearly parallel to but striking the vacuum-cathode surface increases
the above combined field effects dramatically.
