Abstract
In many recent electrolysis fusion experiments, excess heat, tritium, and neutron production have been reported as intermittent bursts. These burst phenomena are described in terms of a surface reaction mechanism involving hysteresis of deuterium solubility in palladium as a function of the metal temperature. Excess heat generation is shown to be attributable to a hitherto neglected time-delayed chemical process due to the solubility hysteresis of deuterium in palladium. Negative results of no apparent excess heat generation from light-water electrolysis experiments is attributed to the fact that the solubility hysteresis of hydrogen occurs at a higher temperature range than that for deuterium. Apparent excess heat generation is expected to be also observable in blank electrolysis experiments with light water at higher pressures.
