Jack, Nitinol is a interesting choice since both nickel and titanium are proton conductors with a history of positive results in LENR - and the wire is commonly available. Plus there is the strange memory effect (which could be utilized for audible resonance). It appears from your other pages

Jones, I'm still working the kinks out of the experimental procedures. At first glance, the behavior doesn't appear to be different than the nickel and tungsten. What I am working on now is a three electrode system. One is made out of nitinol, and I'm using this as a heating element only.

A proposal from a nuclear amateur. If LENR is fusion this experiment may consume 11B and makes 4He. But if LENR involves free neutrons there would be a different reaction. 10B+n → 7Li+4He+gamma + 2.31 MeV The 10B isotope is good at capturing neutrons. It would be fine to looking for

This paper and many others like it describe how HOT fusion is enhanced when it occurs in a chemical lattice. This study has no relationship to cold fusion because the same nuclear products are not formed. While the lattice enhances the hot fusion rate, it does so only at very low energy
