The model works fine. The model explains heavy element fusion as
well. It is p-p or p-e-p that does not occur with observable, but
not because the model does not work.
More comments below.
IOW a version of the proton fusion reaction - leading to
deuterium; BUT if it can fit, then it provides many clear
advantages to a
Rossi-type of device, and cannot be ruled-out simply because the
inventor
thinks otherwise.
As for expectations based on what has been reported: They seem to
match,
since some slight radioactivity (with a built-in time delay) would be
expected - due to eventual deuterium fusion, once enough deuterium
shows up
... and to Rothwell's delight (and Krivit's embarrassment), since
in the end
the Rossi effect could still be hydrogen fusion followed by a delayed
deuterium fusion reaction. If some radioactivity is seen, most of
it could
be from tritium - but it might take weeks for it to show. This
seems to
explain reported results.
To put this into a Universal perspective - you must appreciate that
the most
common reaction in the universe is the fusion of two protons into
deuterium,
releasing a positron and a neutrino as one proton changes into a
neutron.
Life on earth is absolutely dependent on this reaction.
H + H → D + e+(positron) + neutrino + .42 MeV
The reaction is extremely slow, even in the gravity well of a solar-
sized
mass - because the protons must tunnel through an 'unmasked' Coulomb
barrier, which presumably would be absent - in the deflated model of a
trapped electron.
IOW the Coulomb barrier would be attenuated by the deflation,
allowing a
greatly enhanced rate.

An immediate response is this: if that if two deflated protons can get
together in such a way as in the second reaction - then why would
they not
simply emerge as deuterium most of the time? i.e. a deflated
version of
P-e-P ?
Weak reactions take much longer then strong reactions. THe key to
deflation fusion, when it comes to weak reactions, is the strong
reaction occurs first, giving the weak reaction time to occur if
there is an energy deficit, by trapping the electron. I say this in
my paper.
Proton pairs don't bind by the strong force, so this eliminates the
prospect for the follow-on weak reaction, at least at readily
observable levels. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_helium
"Helium-2 is a hypothetical isotope of helium which according to
theoretical calculations would have existed if the strong force had
been 2% greater. This atom would have two protons without any neutrons."
"A diproton (or helium-2, symbol 2He) is a hypothetical type of
helium nucleus consisting of two protons and no neutrons. Diprotons
are not stable; this is due to spin-spin interactions in the nuclear
force, and the Pauli exclusion principle, which forces the two
protons to have anti-aligned spins and gives the diproton a negative
binding energy.[7]"
I also explain why the deflated state does not form with measurable
probability in plasma.
