It would be more accurate to call this phenomenon “Cold fusion of helium (from hydrogen).”

It has long been a well-known truth: Nuclei are much better suited for synthesis than protium, that is, ordinary hydrogen with one proton in the form of a nucleus, but deuterium and tritium, that is, isotopes of hydrogen with a nucleus of one proton and one neutron (deuterium) or one proton and two neutrons (tritium).

Why are isotopes better suited?

Yes, because the neutrons attached to the proton partially SHIELD the strong proton field with their electron fields, and thus, when such nuclei approach AT LOWER thermal velocities, they CAN merge into a helium nucleus. The Coulomb repulsion of “naked” protons is much greater than that of those connected to two neutrons, where the electron fields of the neutrons partially reduce the repulsive forces, which means that the particles can come closer without having the kinetic energy necessary to overcome the previous “naked” forces of electrostatic repulsion.

Therefore, what is DESIRABLE to do?

Surround the proton nucleus of hydrogen not with two, as in tritium, but with three, four, five or more neutrons.

Then they will shield the Coulomb field of the proton so effectively that such nuclei will begin to fuse almost at room temperature.

So much for the controlled synthesis of helium from hydrogen.

How to “make” protium into quadricions, quintii, sextii, and so on?

Option one: Bombard hydrogen with a dense stream of electrons with energies quantum suitable for the formation of neutrons. And then the protons will “sort themselves out” with such “appetizing” electrons and willingly swallow them into the nucleus of heavy and superheavy hydrogen.

Option two: Bombard hydrogen with a dense beam of neutrons, and also with precisely quantized energy necessary to combine neutrons with a proton nucleus.

As you can see, the key words here are “BINDING ENERGY”, its precisely selected value, whether an electron and a proton are converted into a neutron, or the precisely selected energy of absorption of additional neutrons by a proton to form supermassive nuclei of hydrogen isotopes – quadricium, quintium, sextium, septium, octium, nanium and decium.

This way is a typical “bypassway” of human thinking, in contrast to the familiar, decades–long, blunt-FORCE, “HEAD-on” method of heating plasma with an electric discharge to millions of degrees and compressing its cord with powerful magnetic fields! In this case, spontaneous oscillations of the plasma cord inevitably occur with its rapid disintegration into micro-nanosecond “ball lightnings”.

The processes are apparently similar in nature in the case of super-powerful discharges of linear lightning and a cord of heated plasma in Tokamaks. The difference is only in the size of these pieces of plasma and the time of their existence.

P.S. In fact, the process of cold fusion of helium consists of two phases.

The first phase is the “wrapping” of naked hydrogen– proton nuclei in a “neutron coat”, which, in accordance with the ideas of the “God’s dandelion nucleus”, will play the role of a screen of Coulomb repulsive forces of “naked” nuclei. Since neutrons are composite particles, and electrons cannot fit in them or in the nucleus, because there are 1836 times more protons and nuclei in volume, it is logical to assume that a neutron is an “immature hydrogen atom”, that is, a proton around which an electron rotates, BUT UNLIKE HYDROGEN, NOT IN A STATIONARY ORBIT, and therefore the neutron is a short–lived particle! However, the electron shell of a neutron is equal in absolute charge to that of a proton, and therefore CAN shield it very significantly, especially at nuclear interaction distances of one trillionth of a centimeter.

And the second phase is the actual synthesis of helium nuclei from such massive (due to “neutron coats”) hydrogen nuclei.

For the correct selection of parameters that can ensure the success of the first phase, it is necessary to “play” with free neutrons, passing them through heterogeneous magnetic fields in order to LENGTHEN or SHORTEN their average lifetime and, according to these parameters, select the conditions for the synthesis of massive “neutronized” hydrogen nuclei accordingly. To carry out accurate measurements of the neutron decay energies, the direction of the spins of the initial neutrons and their subsequent proton-electron “fragments”. All these data will help to choose the necessary and most effective parameters of the first phase.
