One of the key features of a sucessful LENR reactor design is the high efficiency conversion of LENR energy into heat. Most of the energy that is produced by the LENR reaction is formatted as subatomic particle creation. It is important in a successful LENR reaction design to capture those particles and convert them to heat energy. One method that might do this conversion is a magnetic bottle using a quadruple or another charged particle confining magnetic field. The muons that come out of the LENR reaction must be confined inside the reactor for up to 10 microseconds to give them enough time to decay. This decay will convert most of the mass of the muon ( 105.6583745(24) MeV/c2 )into heat energy and electrons.
