Low Energy Nuclear Reactions, Part 3: Inside the Lattice
15:29
Part 3 of 4. Cold fusion's most reproducible finding is also its strangest prerequisite: you have to cram deuterium into palladium past a critical loading ratio — roughly 0.85 to 0.90 deuterium atoms per palladium atom — before anything happens at all. We look at what "loading the lattice" really means, why that threshold is so hard to reach and hold, and then at electron screening: the honest,…
