Blaze and Tim, Excellent references - both the paper and the patent.
I also wonder whether the Branly Effect occurs in nanoparticle colloids or in macro-sized metal wires with a complex fractal crystalline structure, or other nano-sized domain structure. If so, LENR energy peaks could correlate with transient current/resistance fluctuations. It could explain the extreme sensitivity of LENR to material preparation. -- Lou Pagnucco Blaze and Tim wrote: > the guys at yale are trying to give the hot fusion guys a nudge with: > > "The results reported in this paper predict that Dþ tunneling through MeV > Coulombic barriers could be induced by > *sequences of low-energy electron impact ionization pulses*" > > Look, yale is doing LENR! :D > > http://www.chem.yale.edu/~batista/molphys.pdf > > > On Tue, Dec 31, 2013 at 12:24 AM, Blaze Spinnaker > <[email protected]>wrote: > >> http://www.google.com/patents/WO2013076378A2?cl=en >> >> [0033] Regarding the penetration of the Coulomb barrier around the atom >> nucleus, resonance of a wave function of a particle in a quantum well >> [...]
