It is possible that the LENR reaction was not carried inside the tube in the fuel, but in the alumina cement that covered the heater wire. The cement must have some residual water in it. Therefore, a sonoelectrochemistry based mechanism might be producing nanoparticles in this cement and these

There doesn't appear to have been any melting inside the tube. It's interesting that the fuel formed a small diameter cylinder. There was also a small amount of fine powder left in the cell. The fuel is shown in the picture (looks like a little stick).

The hydrogen combustion theory does not explain why the heat is restricted primarily to the outside of the tube. The adulterated tube material would have a lower melting temperature than the pure alumina powder covering. Hydrogen that is coming from inside the tube would melt the tube as well as

Dear Jack, Congratulations. Anyone that has seen a meltdown, knows that LENR is real. Your use of a pulses current may be what caused the LENR reaction to fire up. Current pulses might be what the key is. The triac may be producing a periodic sharp current rise and an associated magnetic field
