There are two forces at work in the nucleus. The strong and the electromagnetic. In ordinary hot fusion only the static electrostatic repulsion and the static strong nuclear attraction are considered.
There are other induced forces the electromagnetic and the dynamic strong nuclear spin orbit "magnetic". These are never considered and may be mutable. An increase in the magnitude of the spin orbit would tend to flip nucleons and lead to beta decay. Magnetism is not conserved and is mutable. I am at work however nothing yet. Its not easy. I don't like Aherns patent application, he tries to patent everything from grain size to ultrasonic stimulation. What about the people who have pioneered and have been working with these techniques years ago? He needs to make an original contribution and patent that.

It would be the "killer app" of the century. Please get to work. :) > Who is spinning a turbine with LENR? MY, You are comments are snide, cantankerous and counter-productive. Its no wonder you're hiding behind a pseudonym. He didn't say people are spinning a turbine, he said they are generating heat _to_ spin a turbine. (future tense.) - Brad
