I suspect the reason is that the "energy hole" of a catalyst never quite matches exactly, so a small amount of kinetic energy is needed to make up the difference. This means that different catalysts work better at different temperatures, so a mixture tends to cover a larger temperature range and also caters for a temperature rise due to energy released by the reactions.
Robin, This leads me to believe that Co-netic AA would work well with plain hydrogen in a low temperature regime without the need for massive pulses. IIRC, Claytor's pulses are half a megawatt each (2000 v and 250 amps) at low duty. One goal for an alternative would be to avoid tritium and the high pulses and substitute an oscillating magnetic field. However - if we assume that Claytor has put in 25 years of R&D looking for the best metal lattice, then why not benefit from that effort, even if the goal (tritium) is not the same? Of course, the assumption is that a good catalyst for tritium LENR is also a good catalyst at a lower input regime - which has the aim to actually avoid tritium and find excess heat only. That may not be a valid assumption, but it is probably worth a try. Jones
