Thermal Energy Generation in the Earth

TL;DR

This paper proposes that electromagnetic composite particles explain Earth's heat and helium anomalies, offering a new perspective on geophysical heat production and volcanism through nuclear reactions involving these composites.

Contribution

It introduces a novel class of electromagnetic composite particles and demonstrates their role in Earth's heat and helium release, providing a new explanation for geophysical observations.

Findings

Electromagnetic composites can account for heat and helium discrepancies

Nuclear reactions involving composites explain energy release

Implications for Earth's heat production and volcanism

Abstract

We show that a recently introduced class of electromagnetic composite particles can explain some discrepancies in observations involving heat and helium released from the earth. Energy release during the formation of the composites and subsequent nuclear reactions involving the composites are described that can quantitatively account for the discrepancies and are expected to have implications in other areas of geophysics, for example, a new picture of heat production and volcanism in the earth is presented.
