Abd, I apprciate your comments.
It seems to me that the smaller the better and SWNTs would be better than
MWNTs which would in turn be better than graphene, and Metallic SWNTs would
be better than semiconducting SWNTs as they exhibit long coherence lengths.
I subscirbe to Axil's charge accumulation theory. SWNTs of the appropriate
diameter would capture free floating electrons and since the diameter is
consistent for SWNTs, they would capture electrons with the same energy
levels. Metallic SWNTs would probably work better at this charge
accumulation. Capture enough of these electrons and pretty soon you have an
SWNT with a huge charge buildup. Such SWNTs would be floating around in
your reactor and per chance, it would come near an exposed Nickel atom.
Coulomb barrier of nickel atom is screened by the huge charge and viola, it
fuses with a hydrogen ion which happens to be floating around. This is how
I understand it to work. Maybe I'm wrong, but I am willing to bet that I'm
not so I am spending money to test this hypothesis.
In a reactor working like this, all you need to control reaction rate would
be to vary spark rate, which varies the charge accumulation on your metallic
SWNTs which would control your fusion reaction rates. Instant
controllability.
As soon as I finish my gen2 reactor, we should find out. And to increase my
chances, I am also designing the very same reactor to act like a CVD reactor
that would grow Carbon nanostructures on a nickel substrate.

Basically, if your NAE is a transition metal lattice; i.e. Cracks
(Storms), or Patches (W&L) or any other structures (Hagelstein), you would
not be able to achieve High Temp operation. With Carbon Nanostructures
such as nanotubes and graphene, thermal stability of your NAE is not a
problem. These Carbon nanostructures are just amazing. They seem to have
all the critical ingredients to host a NAE.
Carbon nanostructure-based LENR, which I call LENR2, is the way to go.
It's an interesting idea, particularly if Storms is correct, that the
substance of the confining lattice (material) is not important, but only
the cavity size. However, what is the size? Could carbon nanostructures be
made with the necessary dimensions?
An approach would be to make a pile of carbon material that includes a
wide range of sizes, and add deuterium, say. Does anything unusual happen?
Any heating, any helium? Even if heating is not measurable, if it sits
there long enough, enough helium might accumulate to be measurable,
compared to controls.
And then one could ratchet down to controlled sizes, to find what is
optimal.
