They result from induced charges at the surface of metals or very polarizable media. The height and width of the Coulomb barrier in free space can thus be reduced. Nuclear fusion requires also the formation of a compound nucleus in one of its excited states, but two deuterons yield an α particle that has 2 excited states. They are respectively accessible at high or low energies. Since the reduction of the Coulomb barrier depends on the local curvature of the interface, cold fusion becomes autocatalytic, but heat production is controllable. Even microbes, plants and animals can produce transmutations. They are also due to image forces. This solves a basic problem in nuclear physics and there are possible applications: facilitated synthesis of superheavy elements and development of a new type of energy sources. They are moderate, but safe.展开更多

The observations underlying these processes are seemingly consistent with KELEA acting as a repelling force between opposite electrical charges.

The deuteron ions in the palladium lattice form a strong coupled plasma inwhich there is a strong screening effect induced by the correlation between ions.

Our calculations, Lowever, show that D-D fusionrate in the equilibrium deuteron system at normal temperature and atmosphere pressure willnever reach the level that can be measured experimentally. The positive results of D-D fusionin some experiments may be caused by some non-equilibrium processes in which relativelyhigh energy of deuterons and/or high density region are locally produced.展开更多
