Cold Fusion
Beginning of paper
Abstract
was first discovered in 1988 two weeks before easter.
Fusion is the combination of two atoms. The sun fuses hydrogen and helium.
For many years mankind has been experimenting in the field of fusion in
order to harness its energy efficie ntly. Cold fusion is made in a test
tube at room t ....

.... knock electrons out of their orbits
around deuterium and tritium atoms. Muons replace the electrons and form a
smaller atom. This "muo-atom" the n captures another nucleus. The muon
orbits more tightly around the two captive nuclei leading them to overcome
their natural repulsion of each other and fuse. This reaction produces a
larger nucleus that almost immediately shatters, releasing energy. It also
frees the muon, which can then repeat the cycle, causing several hundred
more such fusion ....
