Ed Storms is stuck on fusion in his thinking about radiation coming from hydrogen concerning its nuclear effects on a cracked metal lattice.
This unsupported preconception is undercutting an objective examination of what nuclear transmutation processes are happening in the lattice. The hydrogen cross section for hydrogen fusion is impossibly low. The ability for the fusion of hydrogen to build up elements as heavy as iron is literally impossible. The transmutation products seen in the experiment as follows: C - 55 wt. % O - 16 wt. % Si - 10 wt. % Al - 9 wt. % K- 5 wt. % Fe - 3 wt. % Mg, Ti, Na - < 1 wt. % The new elements seen in the crack experiment is caused by fission of nickel and/or copper. The atomic numbers of the fission products add up. Si(14) = C(6) + O(8) Al(13) = Si(14) – proton K(19) = Cu(29) - Ne(10) Si(14) = Ni(28) – Si(14) Mg(12) = Ni(28) – C(6) – O(8) Al(13) = Cu(29) – C(6) – O(8) Fe(28) = Ni(28) – He(2) Ti(22) = Ni(28) – C(6) Lowering the coulomb barrier will increase both alpha, beta and gamma nuclear decay rates and in direct proportion to the barriers lowered level. In sum, the lowering of the coulomb barrier accounts for both the transmutation pattern that Ed sees in the experiment and the increased nuclear decay rate of K(40).
