Abstract: Use of adsorption, desorption, particle injection and other means to excite electrons to a region on their band structure diagram near an inflection point were the transient effective mass is elevated proportional to the inverse of curvature. These transient heavy electrons may then cause transmutations similar to transmutations catalyzed by the muons used by Alvarez at UC Berkeley during 1956 in liquid hydrogen. The heavy electrons may also control chemical reactions.

Abstract: A composition of matter including a fuel comprising one or more of isotopes of hydrogen or isotopes of lithium. The general binding reactions comprise electron-catalyzed chemical, molecular, or transmutation binding reactions. The composition also includes one or more reactants having an energy-releasing binding energy with the fuel. The fuel is associated with the general binding reactions with the one or more reactants. The composition additionally includes a reservoir capable of releasing one or more of molecular fuel or mono-atomic fuel when the reservoir is heated. The reservoir comprises one or more of the fuel or precursors to the fuel, such as a chemical form of fuel in the reservoir material. The composition further includes a fuel-cracking material capable of converting a fraction of the molecular fuel into mono-atomic fuel. The composition additionally includes a reaction crystallite on or in which general binding reactions are capable of being stimulated to occur. The composition further includes a spacer. Upon the one or more reaction capsule emissions of one or more of the proximate reaction capsules, the fuel is released from the reservoir, the fuel-cracking material is brought to operating temperature, a temperature of the reaction crystallite is raised sufficient to cause crystal momentum injection, electrons are tailored by the energy-releasing binding energy and the crystal momentum injections into the reactant crystallite, and an emission of the reaction capsule energizes one or more of the proximate reaction capsules to cause a self-sustaining or chain reaction. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: An emissions-filtering reaction-isolation apparatus for stimulating hydride reactions that are confined in the apparatus and allowing any MeV ions with energy greater than approximately 2 MeV emitted to escape from the apparatus. The apparatus can include a reaction region enclosed by an envelope. The apparatus also can include one or more conductors comprising crystal films or particles of Pd, Ti, W, or Ni. The apparatus additionally can include at least two supports for each conductor. The apparatus further can include a hydrogen storage material located adjacent to the conductors. When the apparatus is stimulated by heating by one or more lasers or MeV energy particle beams, hydrogen is released from the hydrogen storage material, the heating causes the hydride reactions with the conductors, the hydride reactions increase a temperature of the apparatus providing a hydride reaction signature, and if any reactions cause emission of the ions, the ions escape from the apparatus to allow detection of the ions. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: In some embodiments, energy is released by converting the bonding potential energy between two electropositive masses capable of forming a stable bond between them into the kinetic energy of an electron quasiparticle initially captured between them by the coulomb potential. The electron quasiparticles form transient bonds with delocalized ions and other reactants in or on a reaction particle where reaction rates and branches are controlled by the choice of electron quasiparticle effective mass. Methods and apparatus for stimulating and controlling such association reactions are shown and described. Thermionic and semiconductor methods and apparatus convert the electron quasiparticle energy directly into electricity. Other embodiments are disclosed.
