IF you can confine a few thousand electrons in a small enough volume, then the coulomb barrier in that small volume would be reduced enough for fusion tunneling to occur.
There are a number of ways to confine a group of electrons for the required time interval. One way is to use electron/phonon coupling. http://www.physorg.com/news/2012-04-quantum-motion.html *Quantum information motion control is now improved.* *In strong electron-phonon coupling regimes, multi-phonon excitations can thus enhance the electron transport.* *As the electron-phonon coupling becomes even stronger, the phenomenon of phonon scattering represses electron transport and confines the electrons. The fluctuations of electron current could therefore be controlled by tuning the electron-phonon coupling,* Using a Q-pulse, what Brillouin Energy is doing is setting up a phonon wave pattern to confine electrons in a standing phonon wave pattern when the frequency of the phonon wave pattern is just right to confine a group of electrons in a small volume. If you remember in the Brillouin Energy theory video, as Q-pulse frequency is increased, the reaction would lessen and increase in a repeating pattern as the frequency ascends higher and higher. This indicates a beat wave phenomenon is in play. Rossi is trying to do the same thing using his frequency generator. Rydberg crystals will also concentrate charge in a small volume. The beat waves of dual lasers will also stimulate a phonon wave pattern in a lattice. If this beat wave pattern formed by the two lasers are fortunate enough to confine a group of electrons in a standing wave form, fusion will occur. Confinement of enough electrons for enough time in a small enough volume is what cold fusion is all about.
