Low Energy Nuclear Reactions ~ they make use of the WEAK FORCE, not the STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE.

It's going on all the time, but it's the WEAK FORCE that turns Carbon 14 into Nitrogen 14.

The energy device invented in Italy that draws power from the conversion of Nickel to Copper appears to rely on the WEAK FORCE to release energy.

One of the characteristics of the WEAK FORCE is that it can change quark flavor.

Although the smart guys don't have it all worked out yet, this characteristic is in use in the conversion of one element to another by means of interactions in the WEAK FORCE.

There was a piece on NASA's interest in LENR just yesterday. Lots and lots of folks are looking at this phenomenon. Not that it's not radioactive ~ it is, but instead of releasing highly energetic Alpha particles it releases low energy Beta particles.

Does this imply the ability to solve the three-body gravitational problem that has been vexing cosmologists - where forces are merely attractive rather than repulsive or neutral?

I wonder if all forces were included or just electro-weak and strong excluding gravity (yes I know it's preposterously minute but it is important in GUT).

Calling smart FReepers!
