This doesn't give us much of a clue about what could be the cause of excess hydrogen... unless Holmlid's muons are carrying away heat somehow while splitting off protons in the process.
An interesting and slightly different approach about increasing the 40K decay rate is based on acknowledging that it should be forbidden altogether, given the nuclear spins involved. Of all isotopes - this is the longest known half-life for any primordial positron-emitter... which is due to spin 4 -- and since its decay products have spin 0. This anomaly makes me think that by strongly increasing Larmor precession i.e. the nuclear spin of the electrolyte - then the half-life can of 40K will be shortened and maybe the result will be seen as gammas. This supposes that there is a connection between spin and nuclear stability that is not fully understood. That outcome would possibly make it worthwhile to design a simple experiment to investigate,
