lepton catalyzed fusion

[AntonioLao]

Lepton catalyzed fusion was heralded as a scientific breakthrough by the time Steven Jones of BYU successfully created cold fusion in the middle 1980’s using muon as catalyst. However, since muons are expensive to mass produce, the idea of muon catalyzed fusion failed to reach an engineering breakthrough. In light of Andrea Rossi’s successful cold fusion experiments, Investigations can now be revived on the idea of lepton catalyzed cold fusion. This time, the lepton in question is no other than the much taken for granted elementary particle called the electron.


An electron catalyzed cold fusion provides a new path of nuclear reaction. By a theory of proximity, where and when an electron approaches a proton, the new configuration would appear like a neutron except for the missing electron neutrino for balancing the mass-energy equation between input and output. But for an economical engineering breakthrough, the input energy of the nuclear reaction must always be much less than the output energy. Fortunately, conventional nuclear physics has already verified by experiments that the binding energy or in this case, the excess energy of cold fusion between a proton and neutron is approximately 2.2 million electron volts. This indicates that the electron catalyzed reaction by changing a proton to a neutron added an excess energy of 2.2 MeV to each cold fusion since every system of a proton and a neutron is just a particle system of a deuteron.

Yes this breakthrough seems most promising,lets hope it does work out.

It could never become an engineering breakthrough simply because muons are very expensive to produce in large quantity.

Just the occasional one off then.

Because of its cost, the practical application of muon-catalyzed cold fusion has been abandoned in the beginning of the 1990s. Maybe Andrea Rossi had revived this idea?

Yes,perhaps he has found a more economical way of doing this.

I am hoping Rossi did it economically. But I'm hoping I can also did it correct theoretically.

I am hoping this too,I am sure you can do it theoretically.

But if it works how many would care what the theory says.

Thats a good point,not many I guess.
