Now that we have a simple model of the atom, we can start thinking about the exact process behind Halton Arp's mass accumulation and how this fits into the capacitor model.
Halton Arp suggests that mass accumulates in a quantum process of condensation from hot plasma into cool, dense matter.
The capacitor model suggests that mass can accumulate inside the strong electromagnetic field of capacitors.
What is suggested is in other words that applying voltage to a capacitor allows for condensation of matter beyond the condensation level allowed by our current plasma environment.
Inside a strong electromagnetic field, Morton Spears' protons and neutrons become stretched. They open up to further condensation.
However, while electrons are abundantly available, the positive quanta required to glue the electrons onto protons and neutrons are in short supply. There is not an abundance of positrons and other subatomic particles with a net positive charge.
Without equal quanta of negative and positive charge, the capacitor remains unchanged. It does not accumulate mass in an instance. The scarcity of positively charged quanta makes the process of mass accumulation a slow and tedious one.
While the process of opening the protons and neutrons for mass accumulation is pretty much instantaneous, the process of actual mass accumulation takes time. The rate of mass accumulation is limited by the availability of positive quanta.
This is the reason no-one have been able to prove irrefutably that charged capacitors increase in mass. Simply charging a capacitor is not enough. It has to be irradiated with positive quanta as well.
Irradiate a large, fully charged capacitor with plenty of electrons and positrons, and the result should be a measurable change in mass. As long as the capacitor remains charged, the mass will remain high, even after radiation has stopped. Let the capacitor discharge, and all the electrons and positrons will fly out of it as the inflated protons and neutrons revert back to their natural state.
