I suggest to read the discussion in the Chemistry Forum:
http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=17140.0

where the nuclear chemist Mitch Andre Garcia tried to prove that cold fusion is theoretically impossible.
He raised a question, that he supposed to be unanswered.

However his question can be answered from a new model of neutron.

THE DISCUSSION:

Mitch said:
“This makes sense, since neutrons are heavier (contain more mass) than protons. The question then is, where will this additional mass come from? From the references cited in your post, I see no explanation accounting for the excess mass of the neutron. ”

Let’s respond to Mitch question.

A free electron moves through the helical trajectory (zitterbewegung), as Schrodinger pointed out after an analysis of the Dirac’s equation of the electron.

Then let’s see what happens when a proton captures an electron and they form a neutron, as happens in the experiments of Borghi, Conte-Pieralice, and Taleyarkhan.

A free electron is moving with helical trajectory, with speed v< It has two sort of energy:

1- Kinetic energy EK due to its speed v.
2- Energy EZ due to its zitterbewegung.

When the proton capturates the electron and they form the neutron, the electron loses the zitterbewegung. So, the energy EZ is conveted to kinetic energy, and the total energy of the electron passes to be ET = EK+EZ, and therefore its speed increases, and it stays gyrating about the proton with speed V>>v.

The electron’s speed within the neutron’s structure n=p+e one can get from the Kurie’s graphic on the neutron’s decay, and in the paper Anomalous Mass of the Nêutron it is calculated that this speed is 92% of the light speed, after the instant when the electron is captured by the proton and starts go gyrate about it.
This relativistic velocity V=0,92c increases the electron’s mass.
By this way, within the neutron, the electron’s mass increases from its repose mass 0,511MeV to 1,291MeV (calculated in the paper).

The mass of proton is 939,3MeV.

Therefore n=p+e has a mass: 938,3+1,291 = 939,6 (which is the mass of neutron obtained from experiments).

The spin 1/2 of the electron is a result of the combination of its intrinsic spin with its zitterbewegung.
Schrodinger was the first to consider such hypothesis.
See Wikipedia:
Zitterbewegung (English: "jitter") is a theoretical helical or circular motion of elementary particles, in particular electrons, which is responsible for producing their spin and magnetic moment. The existence of such motion was first proposed by Erwin Schrödinger in 1930 as a result of his analysis of the wave packet solutions of the Dirac equation for relativistic electrons in free space
http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:CZEiPQAcf0cJ:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Then, when the electron is captured by the proton, it loses its zitterbewegung, and so it loses its spin 1/2. Within the neutron the electron becomes a boson, and so the neutron is formed by a fermion (proton) and a boson (the electron that lost the spin).

So, before to understand cold fusion, we neeed to have a complete understanding of the nuclear phenomena. However we dont have it.

In the Introduction of my book QUANTUM RING THEORY, it is written in the page 4:
....................................................
“Perhaps one would like to say that the foundations for cold fusion are the same of that proposed in Quantum Mechanics. Indeed, in Jan-2004 the cold fusion researcher Dr. Dimitriy Afonichev sent me an e-mail where he said the following:
‘I think that occurrence of cold fusion can be explained on the basis of the existing theories’.
Truthfully his words transmit not merely a personal opinion, because actually several theorists those try to explain the cold fusion occurrence share his viewpoint. However such opinion is very intriguing, since the own academic community is agreeing that the existing theories in the branch of Nuclear Physics are unable to explain even the ordinary nuclear properties, as confessed by Eisberg and Resnick in their book Quantum Physics, where they say in the first page of the Chapter 15:
‘Though we dispose nowadays of a sufficient complete assembly of information about the nuclear forces, we realize that they are too much complexes, not having been possible up to now to use this acknowledge for building an extensive theory of the nuclei. In other words, we cannot explain the whole properties of nuclei in function of the properties of the nuclear forces that actuate on their protons and neutrons’.
So, as the existing theories are unable to explain the nuclear properties responsible for the hot fusion occurrence (which occurs according to the principles of Quantum Mechanics), it's hard to believe that such existing theories could explain nuclear properties that would be responsible for the occurrence of some so much complex as it is the cold fusion (which occurs by infringing the principles of QM). “
....................................................

For a layman to understand easily that said in the Introduction of my book, take for instance the interaction between two neutrons.
Two neutrons have no repulsion. But in a short distance, they are attracted by the strong force. So, after interacting within a nucleus, two neutrons would have to form the 0n2, and would never separate anymore.
But 0n2 does not exist in nature. Heisenberg tried to explain it with the introduciton of the concept of Isospin. Unfortunatelly the isospin is an abstract mathematical concept.
Two neutrons tied strongly by the strong force cannot be separated by an abstract concept, because an abstract concept cannot produce a FORCE capable to win the force of attraction by the strong force.
Only a FORCE of repulsion can win the force of attraction.
A NEW NUCLEAR MODEL (that shows what is the force of repulsion between two neutrons in short distances) is proposed in my book Quantum Ring theory.

In 2002 the Infinite Energy magazine has published my paper “What is Missing in Les Case’s Catalytc Fusion” , in which I have proposed some improvements to be addopted, in order to avoid the missing of replicability.

In 2003 in the ICCF-10 Lets and Cravens exhibited their experiment, in which they have adopted the suggestions of mine in my paper published in 2002 by IE.

In my book I propose an explanation for Lets-Cravens experiment, showed in paper entitled “Lets-Cravens Experiment and the Accordion-Effect”

The Accordion-Effect is a nuclear property unknown by nuclear theorists, and it is responsible for the resonance that takes place between a nucleus (for instance Pd) and the oscillation of deuterons due to zero-point energy.

After reading some of my papers, the late Dr. Eugene Mallove said in 2004: "Guglinski has interesting and intriguing ideas".
That's why he suggested to put my papers on a book form, and to publish it.

However, Dr. Mallove did not read my papers concerning the new nuclear model.

WHY COLD FUSION IS NEGLECTED BY ACADEMICIANS
The stronger reason why the scientific community neglects cold fusion is because its occurrence requires a neutron model n=p+e formed by proton and electron. However such theoretical model violates the Fermi-Diract statistics.

But a model of neutron n=p+e that does not violate Fermi-Diract statistics is proposed in the book QUANTUM RING THEORY (QRT), as I alredy explained in the begginning of this comment.

Two papers on the neutron new model n=p+e of QRT are available in the Internet.
They are:

1) ANOMALOUS MASS OF THE NEUTRON
2) NEW MODEL OF NEUTRON

Before to post here the two links, I would like to give some enlightenment on the paper NEW MODEL OF NEUTRON, as follows:

1) When we analyze the mass of pions according to the current Standard Model, we arrive to contradictory conclusions about the mass M(d) of the quark down and the mass M(u) of the quark up.
In the paper NEW MODEL OF NEUTRON it is shown that we arrive to the following two conclusions:

CONCLUSION 1: M(d) > M(u)
CONCLUSION 2: M(u) > M(d)

2) Look at the chemical reaction Na+Cl->NaCl
QUESTION: what is the matematical formalism underlying such a chemical reaction?
ANSWER: No one. The chemical reactions have not been established through the mathematical formalism.

The chemical reactions have been established based on the LOGIC, and such a procedure was viable because the chemists had the help of a property of the chemical reactions: the mass of the reagent elements does not change after the reactions. For instance, the mass of Na is the same in the two sides of the equation Na+Cl->NaCl.

In the case of the high energy nuclear reactions the discovery of the equations became very complicated, for two reasons:

1) Either particles can desintegrate by discharging energy, or particles can be created, by the transformation of energy to matter.

2) In the model adopted by the theorists, the addition of spins is applied to all the reactons.
However in the beta decay the addtion of spins cannot be applied (but there is conservation of the total angular momentun, because in the reactions there is creation of neutrinos and antineutrinos).

Such anomaly in the addition of spins in the beta decay made the situation to be very bad, and the theorists could not apply the LOGIC for the discovering of the mechanic of high energy reactions, as the chemists made in the Chemistry.

That’s why the theorists tried to solve the problems by the mathematical formalism, through the Lie symetries as SU(2), SU(3), etc.
But the result was unsatisfactory, as one can understand easily. There are particles that does not fit to the theory, and that’s why Murray Gell-Mann felt the need of proposing ad hoc bandages, like the Strangeness.

As the theorists did not discover the true cause of the beta decay anomaly, they impute to other cause the occurrency of that anomaly: they state that the parity is not kept in the beta decay.

By addopting the “spin-fusion” hypothesis proposed in QUANTUM RING THEORY, it is explained the anomaly of the beta decay, and from such a way the high energy reactions can be explained through the LOGIC, in the same way as occurred in Chemistry for the establishment of the chemical reactions.

That is true, you do have a point. Neutrons can be a very dangerous and mutilating form of alpha radiation, but who said these things would be put in televisions? Concrete and lead are pretty cheap on an individual household basis.

Excuse me, but does this process produce helium at all? And if so, could a sizable quantity of helium be produced quickly and efficiently enough to fill a airship like a dirigible? and BTW IMO the best way to secure funding is to create a weapon first then use the profits to mass produce "butter" applications!

I suggest you educate yourself on what neutrons are.

This and the heating and cooling of crystals, both of which give off strong proton emmisions for just battery power, will gladly be developed as a weapon.

Uh, fusing Bush and Sadaam together might make
a more slicker, slippery kind of oil. We don't
need that! Isn't it the goal of fusion to do
away with old-fossil fuels like Bush and Sadaam?

Sorry, but many fusion reactions do not generate net power: it takes more power to start them and keep them running than whatever they produce. And I believe it is the case with this one. ¡I think that the authors would be running to the patent office if it was otherwise! 8)

¿Want cheap energy? ¡Then pray these other guys are right! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_fusion (Everybody thinks they are wrong. It is a long shot, but the prize is immense...)

That's a nice thought, but has anyone considered the waste/by-products of this technology? The article only says "neutrons are releaesed." No elaboration of waste. Any reaction or porcess produces waste of some sort. We might want to learn more before we plan our children's futures tonight on breakthrough technology! Let's see how this develops...

"supposed"... gee, living with "Word" has produced such tebberal spellers.

You're right! First Tobacco, then Oil ... whatever would the politicians do?

I think the first step would be to harness it to make energy and relieve the strain on oil. it would save a lot of lives, time and money. but then the oil giants wouldnt let their empire collapse would they :)

I wonder if they can fuse Bush and Sadam together with it.

It would be like the movie Dark Crystal.

Cheap clean power that could run a car or an all-electric home would have a mind boggling effect on the world economy. Businesses, corporations and universities that don’t even seem to be related to oil (or coal) would fail or flounder. Eventually, there’d be a reinventing of business and a redistribution of the workforce ... sort of like after a world war. But there would be big pain for a long time.

It’d be nice to get rid of a few million service stations and a billion or so miles of tacky power lines though!

Yeah, that idea is slower than the type looks... Who do you think has more contacts than anyone else, right now, to be in on the ground floor of any new technologies? I'll answer, sitting politicians! They see the grants, the fund requests, get briefings from the alphabet-soup agencies regarding research currently known and proposed not to mention first hand access to Darpa projects. I don't know any poor retired Senators come to think of it...

It was in fact an Illudium Q-36 Explosive sapce modulator.

Perhaps in the near future in airports we shall see screens showing live moving x-ray versions of the passengers before they board as well as their luggage
contents, such as those nuclear pocket rocket pals the ladies use!! Kinda like the Arnold movie 'Total Recall'. Should be easy to tell the natural chests from the manmade ones, too!
Too bad they're not trying to make energy from it. Probably some govt. lid on developing excess power sources until the oil run administration is out of office. Don't scoff, it's probably true!

can't wait for the x-ray glasses.

How long before I can buy a Mr. Fusion for my DeLorean?

HAH! We're developing a model with 5 crystals that vibrate, for a closer neutron shave.

I do believe it was a "Luthodium P-38 EXPLOSIVE Space Modulator"!

I believe the modulator in question was a "Luthodium P-38 Space Modulator". Now you'll have to make some more Martians...

That the apparatus they describe and the designs for the warp core in Star Trek sound amazingly similar. ;-) Still - I didn't think I'd see it in my lifetime. Kudos to these guys!

So long and thanks for all the fish...

Couldn't you just have it go to 10 but have more power?

Um, Dude! It goes to 11!

"There was supported to have been an Earth shattering KaBoom"

>> "Our device uses two crystals instead of one, which doubles the acceleration potential,"

Hah. mine goes to 11.
