Regarding: "A departure from equilibrium must be established that will permit an external energy source (eg. the DC power supply in an electrolysis experiment and/or a pair of low power lasers as in the Letts/Hagelstein two laser experiment) to feed energy into the H-H or D-D stretching mode vibrations. The difference in chemical potential that is established in gas loading experiments can also serve very nicely; in this case the flux feeds energy into the stretching mode vibrations."
Light is usually reflected from the surface of a metal. In order for there to be energy transferred from light to the lattice, an energy conversion process must apply. What exactly gets the lattice to vibrate? When electrons are applied to the lattice surface in the case of DC current, how do the electrons produce lattice vibrations? If the stimulus is heat caused by electrical resistance, what localizes the heat? How did they determine that localized vibrations were occurring? Did they just assume that superoscillations were happening? In the case of laser light stimulation, why is a very specific frequency of light required? Any type of light will produce heat.
