Ist die kalte Fusion doch möglich?

Was genau möchtest Du? Wenn es eine Erklärung geben würde, dann müssten niemand spekulieren!
In Sachen LENR - Fuel gibt Beobachtungen und natürlich gibt es dazu theoretische Überlegungen, wobei jedoch die Niedrig-Energiereaktion nicht erklärt werden kann:

In Sachen LENR - Fuel gibt Beobachtungen und natürlich gibt es dazu theoretische Überlegungen, wobei jedoch die Niedrig-Energiereaktion nicht erklärt werden kann:
From all combined analysis methods of the fuel we find that there are significant quantities of Li, Al, Fe and H in addition to Ni. Moreover from the EDS and XPS analysis one finds large amounts of C and O. It should be stressed, that the quantities of most elements differ substantially depending on which granule is analyzed. In addition to these elements there are small quantities of several other elements, but these can probably be considered as impurities.http://de.scribd.com/doc/242284200/Observation-of-abundant-heat-production-from-a-reactor-device-and-of-isotopic-changes-in-the-fuel
The main result from our sample is nevertheless clear, that the isotopic composition deviates dramatically from the natural composition for both Li and Ni.
The Lithium [Anmerkung: Standard Lithium Aluminum Hydride, LiAlH4 ?] content in the fuel is found to have the natural composition, i.e. 6Li 7 % and 7Li 93 %. However at the end of the run a depletion of Li in the ash was revealed by both the SIMS and the ICP-MS methods. In the SIMS analysis the 7Li content was only 7.9% and in the ICP-MS analysis it was 42.5 %. This result is remarkable since it shows that the burning process in E-Cat indeed changes the fuel at the nuclear level, i.e. nuclear reactions have taken place.
Another remarkable change in the ash as compared to the unused fuel is the identified change in the isotope composition of Ni.
The unused fuel shows the natural isotope composition from both SIMS and ICP-MS, i.e.
58Ni (68.1%),
60Ni (26.2%),
61Ni (1.1%),
62Ni (3.6%), and
64Ni (0.9%),
whereas the ash composition from SIMS is:
58Ni (0.8.%),
60Ni (0.5%),
61Ni (0%),
62Ni (98.7%),
64Ni (0%),
and from ICP-MS:
58Ni (0.8%),
60Ni (0.3%),
61Ni (0%),
62Ni (99.3%),
64Ni (0%).
Evidently, there is also an isotope shift in Nickel. There is a depletion of the 58Ni and 60Ni isotopes and a buildup of the 62Ni isotopes in the burning process. We note that 62Ni is the nucleus with the largest binding energy per nucleon. The origin of this shift cannot be understood from single nuclear reactions involving protons. With alpha particles colliding with Ni one can in principle raise the atomic mass number by 4 via exciting 58Ni to 62Zn, which then via positron emission decays back to 62Cu and 62Ni, but that is hardly believable to occur due to an enormous Coulomb barrier to merge 4He and Ni. Besides, with this reaction one can also go to stable Zn isotopes, which are not found in the ash.
It should be pointed out that the fusion towards heavier isotopes of Nickel releases energy. For example the reaction p + 58Ni ?59Cu + ? and 59Cu decaying back to 59Ni emission releases 3.4 MeV. Even if that particular reaction is excluded, since no gammas are observed, we can tentatively use this number for each step towards 62Ni, and the information from ICP-AES that there is about 0.55 gram Ni in the fuel. We find then that there is about 2.2MWh available from the Nickel transformations. Accordingly, from Nickel and Lithium together there is about 3 MWh available, which is twice the amount given away in the test run. Consequently we can conclude that the amount of fuel is probably compatible with the energy release being measured, although a quantitative statement requires detailed knowledge of the prevailing reactions.
However, as discussed above, it is of course very hard to comprehend how these fusion processes can take place in the fuel compound at low energies. Presently we should therefore restrict ourselves to merely state that an isotope shift has occurred in Lithium and Nickel. We refrain from speculations in any dynamic scenario making this reaction possible at low energies. The reaction speculation above should only be considered as an example of reasoning and not a serious conjecture.
Soweit erstmal...
