Hi Fred, I had been missing your posts! I don't know about the other effects, but regarding your suggestion that the 200 muons m^-2 s^-1 "cosmic muon rain" might explain CF in D2O electrolysis cells, the wikipedia article you mentioned http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muon-catalyzed_fusion says:
"each muon catalyzing d-d muon-catalyzed fusion reactions in pure deuterium is only able to catalyze about one-tenth of the number of d-t muon-catalyzed fusion reactions that each muon is able to catalyze in a mixture of equal amounts of deuterium and tritium" and further down: "More recent measurements seem to point to more encouraging values for the ?-sticking probability, finding the ?-sticking probability to be about 0.5% (or perhaps even about 0.4% or 0.3%), which could mean as many as about 200 (or perhaps even about 250 or about 333) muon-catalyzed d-t fusions per muon" from which we can infer that each muon can catalyze at most 33 D-D fusions, so the energy release per second (power) at ~20MeV (= ~4pJ) per D-D fusion would be only 200*33*4e-12 =~ 26e-9 W/m^2 if I am not mistaken, which would be quite undetectable. If CF exists there must be another explanation (such as DIESECF ;-) Michel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frederick Sparber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 03, 2007 7:27 AM Subject: [Vo]:Re: Cold Fusion or Cosmic Ray Muon Catalyzed Fusion? > Wikipedia has a lucid article on Muon Catalyzed Fusion and > www.cosmicrays.org > shows how to build a detector and claims "200 Muons per square meter strike > the earth every second". > > The negatively charged Muon (with a charge the same as that of an electron) > but with a > mass 207 times that of an electron might explain CF in electrolysis cells, > Mills' "fractional orbit hydrino", > the Correas Pulsed Abnormal Glow Discharge" PAGD, and Ed Storms' recent > "anomalous particle beam" results using > D2 (and H2?) in a glow discharge. > > Fred >
