This idea is somewhat similar to three related threads which were circulating here a decade ago – all the way back to 2002 actually.
One was Fred Sparber’s triad lepton called “electronium”, and another was the “heavy electron” of Widom and Larsen or the degenerate electron of Horace Hefner which was probably the same conception. The hypothetical lepton triad, electronium (*e-) consisted of two paired electrons bound to a positron. Any of these particles would be a fine catalyst for fusion, including hot fusion (like a muon) - if they were able to be produced on demand. With electronium, the charge was the same as the electron but the rest mass was three times higher. In the Andrianov paper, his paired electron would have twice the charge and would be less stable than electronium, as would the W&L version- since the positive charged core holds it together. From: Bob Cook The following link addresses this possibility: http://pdf.vestnik.susu.ac.ru/mpc/04/10p046_Andrianov.pdf This idea is presented in an item in the current Infinite Energy Issue of March/April 2014 by Andrianov. He thinks that the Chelyabinsk Meteor that exploded last year could have been a natural LENR reaction. The mechanism for pairing he explains is interesting. The paired electrons act to draw nuclei together. He seems to think there was gamma radiation associated with the meteor’s explosion. The pairing sounded like Cooper pairing. Any Vortexer have any comments on this theory? Bob
