Suppose LENR acts like a capacitor where energy is fed into it over an extended timeframe, then that energy is released in a short burst. LENR may be rooted in a energy storage and burst release mechanism.
"Ken Shoulder's EV's may also play a role." Suppose an EV is formed and provides a seed in which more energy can gather and concentrate. The EV grows large and powerful as energy is absorbed. When it passes through a energy storage threshold, the EV becomes LENR active.
