Summary of Theory

Vitalii Kirkinskii and Yurii Novikov performed computer simulations of nuclear fusion in metals at low energies. They based their simulations on two original theoretical models with regard to quantitatively dynamic screening of the ion charges of hydrogen isotopes by electrons of the outer shells of metals near the boundary of their neighboring positions in the crystal structures. According to the authors, calculated rates of nuclear reactions agree within an order of magnitude with the values deduced from experimental data on excess-heat release for palladium deuteride in some processes.

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
