*Both hot and cold fusions are a result of pent up nuclear energy. Both are explosions.*
As a first principle, LENR is caused by the lowering of the coulomb barrier. How does energy and momentum conservation play into energy produced by coulomb barrier lowering? The conservation laws apply to the system as a whole and not to any individual part of the system. The energy increase of the cold fusion of a nucleus with a proton for example somehow results in an energy transfer between the components in that system. How can this energy transfer work? To start out with, Nuclei are made up of protons and neutron, but the mass of a nucleus is always less than the sum of the individual masses of the protons and neutrons which constitute it. The difference is a measure of the nuclear binding energy which holds the nucleus together. The binding energy steals energy from the nucleons to keep the nucleus together, that energy is transferred to the gluons. As the coulomb barrier of the nucleus is screened, the protons lose their repulsive charge in the nucleus so the gluons have less work to do; they become less energy intensive. Where does this energy go? It could go back into reformulating the mass of the protons and neutrons. But without radioactive decay, the nucleus must remain stable and there are no gamma rays to transfer the energy out of the nucleus. The difference in the binding energy’s between the original nucleus and the new nucleus must go somewhere as the nucleus returns to normal to conserve energy as the screening gradually abates and the gluons regain their energy. The only other component in the LENR system is the screening electrons. Somehow the screening electrons must take the excess energy away with them bit by bit as the screening of the nucleus gradually decreases.
