David- My idea is that a hydrogen flux in the Pd system is necessary, be it slow once a threshold concentration is established, and only necessary to maintain the threshold amount. This is consistent with LENR after the stimulation is turned off. Life after death.
I have assumed that the reaction rate is low enough so as to assure the threshold is maintained with a reasonable pressure or electric potential to create a flux—I think the flux is H ion or D ion. Although it may be H-2 gas or D-2 gas if there is a source of gas as there may be at low temperatures in a Li-Al-H system. I have assumed phonic coupling via electron spin for some time. I think it is the most likely way to transfer energy from a nucleus to the electronic structure, since it fits better with the observed low energy level of EM radiation seen in LENR reactions. SPIN QUANTA ARE TRANSFERRED IN SMALL UNITS OF ENERGY, ONLY INFLUENCED BY THE AMBIENT MAGNETIC FIELD (B FIELD) AND THE CHANGING ENERGY STATES OF THE ORIGINATING QM COHERENT SYSTEM THAT RESULT IN THEIR PRODUCTION, AS THAT SYSTEM LOSES MASS TO REACH A MORE STABLE GROUND ENERGY STATE. I think the rate of reaction is influenced by a stimulus of some sort—probably electric or magnetic to create proper resonances. Multiple coherent systems are required, each to be stimulated in turn to reach a lower energy state. As Jones recently noted, it is hard to maintain a chain reaction in a coherent system.

Do you suppose that there is phononic coupling between the individual reacting sites resulting in some form of chain reaction? If that is true then a threshold density of deuterium would be required in order to spread a local burn. Otherwise you might expect a somewhat linear reaction rate with deuterium density.

It is either the electric field or magnetic field of the laser at an appropriate frequency in resonance with the resonance frequency of the electronic bonds of the FCC crystal lattice or the orbital magnetic moments of the electrons bonding the lattice that are excited to energies above their ground state that cause deflection of the lattice. These resonant electric and magnetic fields cause the lattice to vibrate in resonant phonic energy states and not random vibrations associated with a temperature and its spectrum of different lattice frequencies. The deflections of the lattice parameters can be substantially greater than would occur at any given temperature. These greater vibrations provide for more motion of the lattice nuclei and potential for close approach and a LENR reaction. When H or D are found inside a FCC crystal lattice position, the localized energy of the vibrating lattice can be enough to force the H or D together and or to force them close to a lattice nucleus. The same effects may occur in a tight defect in the lattice or a vacancy in the normal lattice structure. Alloying elements in a lattice may also change the modes of vibration and cause D and or H to be forced together more than in a normal lattice vacancy or inside a normal FCC lattice cube. As suggested above the addition of energy to the lattice is much different than occurs during resistance heating where electrons are drawn down a voltage gradient and collide at random with nuclei of the lattice and/or non-conducting electrons of the lattice. This random collision is what causes the lattice to vibrate at various frequencies and results in some temperature resulting from the electrical resistance of the lattice and its relative random response to the electrons’ kinetic energies. Adding energy by resistance heating causes only a relatively few lattice bonds to vibrate at any given frequency, whereas a laser beam would cause many more lattice bonds to vibrate at the desired frequency. The desired frequency is of course the natural resonant frequency of the lattice—much like a spring has a resonant frequency. The motion of the lattice particles is the greatest at the resonant frequency and can increase substantially with substantial resonant energy input that may be provided by an intense laser beam, even during a very short duration in time. Hence large lattice displacements and LENR may occur with very little total energy input. If LENR does occur in a lattice, it will heat the lattice and produce random vibrations in the normal spectrum of vibrations. The laser can stimulate the lattice positions that happen to be vibrating at the laser frequency to gain in their amplitudes and hence influence local H or D molecules or Cooper pairs or whatever is in the FCC lattice position of defect or void to react. Such laser increases the population of lattice vibrations at the right frequency and amplitude necessary for LENR compared to such vibrations induced by temperature alone. These are only rough classical ideas of what may occur.

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.

Pity that Vortex didn't want to display it as it sent it here before sending it to ECatWorld. It would be much easier to discuss with the full paper visible.
