QuoteYou and Ed are talking past one another. Ed agrees with you that what he identifies as fractofusion, suggesting that ions are being accelerated across crack walls and so on, is not LENR.
I am under the impression that Ed's LENR is living in the cracks. So how does it work? At first a crack opens, creating a micro accelerator that causes a micro fusion explosion and why not some X rays too. But this is not the real LENR, you say. Then the real LENR must come later, but how does that happen? Now the crack is just like any old crack, it has had its nanosecond as a sun. What more can a little crack ask for?
(Of course I did not mean that voltage is the same as temperature. But accelerating an electron over a 1 V potential step will give it about the same energy as the thermal energy it would have in a place where the temperature is over 10000 K.)
