To explain: Ed Shoulders is not some ill-educated crackpot. He discovered a 'particle' he initially called Electron Validum, later changed to charge cluster. Some Russians independently made the same claim, calling them "ectons' or something.
Seems to be a collection of Ken Shoulders articles here : < http://www.svn.net/krscfs/>
I found his main CF/LENR paper at : < http://newenergytimes.com/v2/archives/fic/J/JNE1N3.PDF > Page 111
