In reply to Horace Heffner's message of Fri, 9 Oct 2009 10:55:10 -0800: Hi Horace,
I'm afraid I can't make any sense of this at all. Perhaps a specific example with calculations would make it clearer? [snip] >I forgot to note another very strong indication that the ability of >the electron to radiate photonic energy is not the primary reason for >the change in branching ratios, but rather the deflated energy of the >initial result of the wavefunction collapse. In other words there is >another indication there is a vacuum exchange of energy upon fusion >resulting in an apparent reduced Q of the cold fusion reactions. That >indication is the nearly complete lack of evidence of any excess heat >or particle emissions from the heavy nucleus fusions, despite large >nuclear mass changes. There is plenty of evidence of lattice element >transmutation, but little evidence of excess heat. The reason this >is so is that hydrogen fusion adds one positive charge to the >nucleus, increasing the bonding of the electron by a factor of two, >one unit of which is offset by the electron's kinetic energy, and >other unit of which is lost energy due to the added proton. In the >case of fusion of deflated hydrogen with an A proton nucleus, fusion >adds A positive charges to the nucleus, increasing the bonding of the >electron by a factor of A+1, one unit of which is offset by the >electron's kinetic energy, and the other A units of which is lost >energy due to the added protons. The lack of appropriate net energy >emerging from the new nucleus can not be due to the photon radiation >of the trapped electron.

This is not a large leap of intuition when you consider the >fact that much of the mass of hadrons is not really there, but >results from vacuum transactions in which particle pairs, including >strange quarks, pop in and out of existence within Heisenberg limits. >The nucleus is a hotbed of vacuum transactions, so it requires no >stretch of the imagination to expect an internuclear electron to be >involved in such transactions. > >Best regards, > >Horace Heffner >http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/ > > > Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html
