Harry, Interesting suggestion. Proton mass is the property which is apparently not fixed. Mark Davidson has a good paper on the broader topic Davidson_2015_J._Phys.__Conf._Ser._615_012016or in the larger file https://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/BiberianJPjcondensedr.pdf On Saturday, March

Robin, Another slightly modified explanation would be dense hydrogen in the role of virtual neutron. If thermal neutrons were involved, we would likely see activation elsewhere. Jones > A slightly modified explanation:- The high binding energy makes Ni62 more likely than other nuclei to

Some years I noticed a curious parallel betweenl the shape of a typical stress strain curve and the shape of the binding energy curve. If the parallelism is more than just a coincidence then it suggests the standard binding energy curve is only "apparent" and the true binding energy does not have

Robin, > I fail to see why they would need pure Ni62 for LENR. To be clear - there is no objective proof that LENR does require or even benefits from any specific isotope. This particular one just happens to be the isotope mentioned in the major claim of Rossi's patent - as being the active
