Perhaps the "missing" ~8 MeV comes from interleaved matrices of the larger nanoparticle, where similar BEC-like reactions involving D+D --> He + 24 MeV but in a 1:3 ratio - will occur... which serve to "fuel" the endotherm of a bulk aluminum forming reaction ?....or is that too contrived to be so elegant?... Actually I have different and less-elegant figures, but the underlying idea is the same. Jones "fact is stranger than fiction"... but perhaps concocted-fact purported to explain seeming fiction, which is in-fact "real" fact... is stranger than either....
