| Abstract: | The author has been fortunate enough to encounter both types of nuclear fusions, and so hereby presents a theory regarding these two fusion types. The first phenomenon that may be considered is thermonuclear d–d fusion in a vacuum crack within a solid. When a platinum plate is connected to a positive electrode and a palladium-alloy plate is connected to a negative electrode in deuterium and a 200-V electrolysis current is passed through them, neutrons, helium 3, and 3.27 MeV of heat are obtained. The fact that such a phenomenon is produced despite the low voltage suggests the following: first, a vacuum microcrack is produced within the palladium alloy. Next, a large quantity of Bose-particle deuterium nuclei flow into the crack as impurities due to the Kondo effect. Accordingly, the effect of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle (Δx Δp ≥ h) is exerted, the movement-position range of the deuterium nucleus becomes extremely small (x → 0), and the movement amount gradually increases (p(mv) → ∞). Integrating this movement amount yields ∫ mv dv = 1/2mv2 + C, and when the movement energy of this 1/2 mv2 exceeds 10 keV, thermonuclear fusion occurs. The second phenomenon is that of the experiment conducted by Iwamura et al. this is elemental transmutation due to nonthermal nuclear fusion in a solid by deuterium permeation. In this case, coating the surface of the palladium alloy facing the deuterium gas with cesium resulted in the creation of praseodymium, and coating the surface with strontium resulted in the creation of molybdenum. Common points in these phenomena are the facts that the atomic number increased by 4 and the atomic mass by 8. In this regard, it appears that the transmutation was the result of nuclear fusion of the cesium or strontium with two compound nuclei of deuterium. |
