This election capture theory actually makes a lot of sense and explains a lot of both the expected and anomalous results coming out of the LENR research. On the surface, it is a very plausible explanation of how the supposedly insurmountable energy barriers to low energy fusion are being overcome. It also suggests a potential two phase mechanism for LENR fusion.Initial electron capture event generates an initiating neutron flux that either progresses on it's own capture driven reaction or, alternately, the resulting electron capture neutron flux drives a resultant fusion reaction. Back in the day, speculated that a non fusion neutron flux could be the key to initiating and modulating a practice LENR device. Electron capture may just do the trick

Check out God’s with his Bruillion company and CECR Controlled Reaction theory.

What are the physics underlying Brillouin’s reactor?
In the early 1990’s, prior to forming his Company and beginning early R&D, Robert Godes first hypothesized that the key to achieving and controlling LENR (or at least one way of doing so) was to create an environment in which protons could combine with electrons in a metal lattice to produce neutrons. Once these neutrons are created, they are available for subsequent fusion reactions with other protons in the metal lattice. He referred to the critical initial step of creating the neutrons as a “controlled electron capture reaction” (“CECR”).

In practice, the environment required for CECR to occur is created by first, adsorbing hydrogen into the lattice of a metal such that the hydrogen nuclei – which are protons – become embedded in the lattice structure. Once this has been achieved, if the lattice structure is distorted on a sufficiently short time scale (which is induced by the pulse mentioned above), quantum mechanical processes will lead some of the protons to capture electrons from the lattice and be converted into neutrons. These low energy neutrons stay within the lattice structure and combine with other protons to produce a deuterium nucleus (one proton and one neutron). Subsequent nuclear reactions produce tritium (one proton and two neutrons) and, finally, helium (two protons and two neutrons). The energy released takes the form of heat.

It is noteworthy that the first fusion reaction (neutron-proton combination) is also enhanced by the application of the pulse. As a consequence, neutrons produced through CECR are consumed in a beneficial reaction before they participate in reactions that would transmute the nickel in the lattice and thereby degrade the lattice structure.

Godes’ “CECR Hypothesis” has guided how Brillouin has approached the challenge of designing a working LENR reactor. It is this Hypothesis, which is a unique, new contribution to the field of LENR, and which brands BEC’s potential to lead the way.
