Well - not so fast. How can you assume LENR? Most of us here want to believe it is LENR, but where is the evidence of anything nuclear? Are you saying that excess heat over and above chemical makes it LENR by default? Maybe - It is clearly new physics but the lack of radioactivity at the

Most processes do not scale linearly and offer new engineering challenges at certain cusps. A good example could be the nanopowder core of the reactor. If heat is generated uniformly within the core and extracted only at the surface of the core the process can mimic the heat enginee of corpulent
