Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. The artificial generation of micro ball lightning (BL) during underwater spark discharges (USB) is presented. An atomic cluster in a special state was generated, called an "itonic" cluster, which could exist for a moment as a stable body and run around underwater as well as in air. The curious behavior of the cluster resembled BL in the natural environment. It was amazing that several new kinds of nuclear reactions ("electro-nuclear reactions (ENRs)") took place in the cluster. The most significant of ENRs among them was nuclear collapse, "electro-nuclear collapse (ENC)". Since the electromagnetic force is 40 orders stronger than the gravitational force, ENC was very easy to induce even in the laboratory. Nuclear transmutation (ENT) was also stimulated in the cluster. Experimental evidence for ENRs is shown. The mechanisms of ENRs is explained by the Nattoh model.
