Part 4/7:
The role of the beta emitter is particularly important. The beta-minus particles generated by the emitter help in creating the Rydberg state by dissociating hydrogen into atoms. It's crucial that only beta-minus emitters are used in this setup. If a beta-plus emitter were to be utilized, it would result in oscillation issues due to the potential capture of emitted electrons.
Comparison with Other Fusion Methods
This model also draws parallels with other cold fusion experiments, such as those conducted by Andrea Rossi and the researchers of Def Calon. While Rossi's design incorporates similar principles, Def Calon employs a high-voltage arc rather than a beta emitter. The arc serves a similar purpose: dissociating molecular hydrogen and facilitating the formation of the Rydberg state.
