Hi, I have updated http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/LiHy4-.pdf to take account of actual size of Li ions, at each stage, after removing electrons. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html

Hi, I have updated http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/LiHy4-.pdf to show the energy for the addition of each Hydrinohydride to a Lithium atom, for all possible p values. Note that Li catalyzes directly to p = 4, from ground state Hydrogen. A second catalysis would yield p = 7, etc. The table value

From: Bob Cook Does the Li in LiOH become a Li atom with temperature at a lower temperature than it does coming from LiAlH4? Or is it ionic? I still consider that there must be a mechanism for heat transfer to keep local temperatures down and in a good reaction temperature interval. The lower

The use of *Lithium hydroxide as the secret sauce shows that OH will work as a Nanoplasmonic dielectric insulator almost as well as H in the production of SPPs. There may be nothing magical about H in the LENR process. As long as the gaseous compound is dielectric, things seem to work. OH does

OH (hydroxide) cannot remain intact. It is an anion and highly reactive. Standard chemistry says that the LiOH in Jack’s experiment reacts with the added aluminum powder to produce lithium aluminate and hydrogen. Lithium aluminate is a most interesting species in its own right, and is part of

The element Lithium appears in LENR from the start. PF and many others used lithium hydroxide as electrolyte. Now this element is poised to take center stage. But 25 years after its first appearance, there is no certainty whether the role of lithium is as a necessary ingredient or is merely
