Summary of Theory

Talbot Chubb's theory fits in the category of ion band states. Chubb proposes a metal-catalyzed nuclear fusion theory in which deuterons (pn nuclei) diffusing through a metal encounter 10-nm domains with gem-quality lattice order and adopt the local geometry of the metal electrons.
They form spin-zero deuteron pairs neutralized by spin-zero electron pairs, which have a resonant standing-wave configuration (no Coulomb barrier).

Wavelike deuteron pairs change into wavelike helium-4 nuclei with (pn,pn) nuclear geometry. The (pn,pn) helium-4 subsequently decays to (pp,nn) helium-4, which is nuclearly stable. Energy is transferred to bulk metal electrons by multiple electron scatterings (momentum transfers) and/or lattice vibration excitations (phonons).

Resolution to Huizenga's "Three Miracles of Cold Fusion"


Huizenga's three miracles were:
  • Miracle #1: the mystery of how the Coulomb barrier is penetrated
  • Miracle #2: the lack of strong neutron emissions
  • Miracle #3: the lack of strong emission of gamma or x-rays
