I have measured the excess power and the amount of current at the same time. The number of emitted electrons is much greater than the number of fusion reactions. If these electrons are emitted with the energy produced by fusion, the mass-energy must have been added to many electrons.
Dr. Storms, are you sure that only D+D=>He fusion should be considered? Did you investigate the locations in the nano-gaps that caused He? Are you sure that no other nuclear reactions took place, like e.g. fission of the palladium around the crack?
You measured unexpected currents&voltages, so I assume you could do that in a process that uses electrolysis. If not how did you became aware of this voltage and current?
Do you believe that the energy of these excess electrons sufficiently explains the missing excess energy of forming He4, or was your lab instrumentation insufficient to do this?
I have seen hydrogen embrittlement of cold-deformed steel. Large cracks all over the place. It seems to me a a similar but much coarse process in comparison of that you use for LENR, which is on nano scale. This embrittlement happens when large mechanical tension is build into the metal while exhibited to hydrogen. I assume that the same happens when e.g. a metal wire is being put under (controlled) stress in a hydrogen environment. Would this be an approach for further investigation?
