-----Original Message----- From: mix...@bigpond.com There is a third possibility. It is DD fusion, but the normal path is not followed. There are at least three theories that would make this possible.
1) Takahashi 2) Mine - the energy is carried away from the reaction by a fast electron (IC). 3) Horace's - which I don't quite understand. There is a fourth theory (working hypothesis) from yours truly - which is can be called "local energy depletion fusion"... or "time-reversed BEC fusion". The important points of it are: 1) Helium is an effect, not a cause 2) Energy is first depleted in small quanta, in units of 6.8 eV via disruption to the Dirac epo field, which is NOT a part of our 3-space 3) The ionization potential of positronium is 6.8 eV, but this energy level is left in our 3-space, due to a number of cross-dimensional strains, similar to those ZPE related effects that Fran Roarty and I have talked about - including Casimir cavity acceleration. 4) Small packets of energy released over time then accumulate to tens of MeV equivalent levels, causing a local energy depleted region, which is effectively extremely "cold" (far below absolute zero) 5) Deuterons entering an energy-depleted region act as BECs but go even further in that they can and do fuse, while at the same time returning the large local energy deficit - as payback. 6) This restores the local deficit of the Dirac epo field to effectively "balance the books."
