dear friends,
perhaps ou will take in consideration my 7 comments
to ED's 7 answers in my Blog EGO OUT yesterday- plus Ed's answer.
Comment-1
Having experience with the catalytic active sites and being a witness of how the idea of nano- has conquered LENR, plus being convinced that LENR is very complex, diversified, different and dynamic - I am unable to accept that something so simple and unstructured as crack can be the locus of LENR. I think NAE are nanostructures not nanovoids. And my experience in metallurgy, morphology of metals, my memories re different kinds of microscopy do not show such voids/gaps in metals.. This includes (please correct me if I am erring!) studies made with Pd cathodes after use as by ENEA and SKINR.
My knowledge is not in concordance of what you say about how cracks in metals are formed.
If the number/density of cracks is the determining factor for all forms of LENR- we have a variation from 1-10 W/g excess energy in PdD to > 1000 W/g at Rossi to great a variation in matter of cracks.All we (you) can do is to deny the reality of the high energy process.
Cracking being ab ovo destructive would not be 'good' for a technology.
Comment-2
If the gap is the determining factor I see the outright difficulties of performing some kind of smart fissuring, deliberate building of the ideal gap size distribution, both with Pd and Ni (later many other transition metals) It is too much unmanageable randomness in cracking.
Comment-3
The idea that temperature increase is accelerating heat excess release by increasing the diffusion speed of deuterium/hydrogen to the active sites can be perfectly true
for the interval 25-100 Celsius - for the PdD electrolytic cell.
Comment--4
Here is the main/greatest difference in our opinions. I am convinced tha the icrease of the temperature from 100C up to the melting point of the active metal changes the mechanism of the process by which active sites are generated.
When I have hypothesized that Cold Fusion is determined by topology and takes place in active sites similar to those creating heterogeneous catalysis

I have thought from the very start that the moving/dynamics of the surfacee metal atoms- as in the Gryaznov theory of how the active sites in catalysis are formed and formed again- is the cause of the genesis of the structures we call now NAE.
I have described this many times, first perhaps here:

However I know it well, you do not accept the existence of the enhanced heat release LENR+ process nad this mechanism with NAE born, working, dying in a really dynamic equilibrium. You are right, or I am right- the future will show it.
Comment -5
The existence and functionality of hydrotons is sin=mply a MUST if, I repeate-if- the nano-cracks are the NAE. I have to say that I have never read about something similar- outside NAE and LENR. For D+D the idea has, if not something similar
but a precedent with He formed in the F&P Cell- much discussed recently- but for H+H even in long chains nuclear reactions in such mild conditions? More proofs necessary, really!
Comment-6
Mea culpa- "many people, "long time"- I m not able now to quantify thse with numbers data of your book, for example. What was the duration of your most
longeval experiment? The absolute record is.. you know?
Comment -7
What you say is based on the idea that PdD at ,100 c working with deuterium and NiH working with light hydrogen at hundreds of degrees Celsius are very similar
use nanocracks as NAE, D+ D or H+H behave identically in Hydrotons.
For NiH the Lugano experiment s indicate different nuclear reaction or interactions.
Let's hope, you and I will be longeval enough to continue this dispute till the truth will be known, one LENR or more LENRs, LENR+ yes or no, NAE void or nano-matter and so on..?
