Hi, If the H atom electron is seen as a ring and this ring is allowed to vibrate along it's axis, then for small oscillation amplitudes the natural frequency of oscillation is the same as the rotational frequency of the ring. However if the axial oscillation is forced to a sub-harmonic, then the De Broglie wave can wrap around multiple times before reconnecting, which allows the atom to shrink.
The forcing may be achieved either by imposing x-rays of the requisite energy, or by embedding the atom in a crystal lattice where the lattice spacing matches the wavelength of the appropriate x-ray (or both). This is because standing EM waves can be supported in a lattice (see x-ray diffraction). Each shrinkage level has it's own characteristic forced axial oscillation frequency, that supports it. This results is a set of frequencies, and a corresponding set of x-ray wavelengths. E.g. level 10 is supported by the 10 th sub-harmonic of the natural frequency of level 10. Because the natural oscillation frequency increases with shrinkage the requisite sub-harmonic does too. As the atom shrinks, the chances for fusion increase dramatically, because the tunneling probability is insanely dependent on separation distance. In order to achieve reasonable fusion times a fair degree of shrinkage is required. The more the better of course, but if one is to rely upon lattice spacing then there is a natural limit imposed by the smallest lattice spacing that matches an x-ray wavelength from the set. Matching lattice spacings may be at least one reason why CF is so temperamental. One of the lattice spacings of Zr4.28Zn0.9Ge3 is a very close match to the x-ray wavelength required for H[n=1/9]. At level 9, the fusion time for DD fusion should be about 7 milli seconds (ms). (HD about 26 seconds, DT about 0.8 ms). (If my formula for calculating the fusion time is somewhere near reasonable). This means that Zr4.28Zn0.9Ge3 should be tried in CF experiments. I'm not sure whether or not it's a conductor, so electrolysis may be impossible, if so then gas diffusion should be tried. The reaction may be stimulated by applying x-rays of the appropriate energy, specifically 2.204 keV). I realize that few on this list will take this seriously, but I include it for posterity. That means you Laz. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html
