Hi Michel. The role of the Muon and the energy it can produce cited by Wikipedia applies to those experimental conditions.
Mills' "catalysts" (Potassium, Argon Etc?), Correa PAGD, Electrolysis Etc, depend on how a Muon might catalyze reactions indefinitely Storms Electrolysis: Storms Anomalous Emissions in D2 Etc. http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/StormsEanomalousha.pdf http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/StormsEradiationp.pdf Fred On Dec 3, 2007 12:58 AM, Michel Jullian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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.
