Yes, I agree Jones, There are many hosts to the reaction, which by some
logic should make the reaction independent of any host, (with regards to
the common qualities of those hosts). In all cases, hydrogen is used,
so I refer to hydrogen (D and H) as the fuel for the reaction.
There is a basic disagreement on whether or not there is one mechanism
that creates all the different effects, or, multiple mechanisms that
create all the different effects. Several opinions have been expressed
here, and I have my own opinion, but I try to keep it to myself and let
the scientists duke it out.
Neither am I an expert on nuclear reactions, but I think the reaction
with Lithium that you are referring to also makes 2 helium per reaction,
so that would mean that there would have to be even MORE helium
measured to get the same amount of heat. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Also, the Helium-3 detected has been shown to be derived from the decay
of tritium, which is another nuclear product observed, but not in
amounts enough to account for the energy. I accept that as fact, though
am not sure if everybody does. The Arata work suggests to me a
situation where more tritium was made.
Thank you again for liking the movie. It sure is a lot of fun making them.

First, thanks to Ruby for such an amazing effort.
As to the point about lithium-6 …. Yes, there are lithium-free
reactions which show excess heat, no denying that. The gas-phase
nanoscale systems of Arata-Zhang, Ahern and others find excess heat
with no apparent lithium, no electrical input, and no gamma radiation.
BUT these experiments (Arata at least) also found helium-3 in a
repeatable ratio and much less helium-4 than with lithium electrolytic
work !
This conflict and other divergent results is leading to the only
possible conclusion about LENR - that there are more than one type of
reaction, possibly many similar but differing reactions - and more
than one type of positive outcome.
Moreover, many of the experiments of Professor Dash showed excess heat
and helium with NO palladium. That’s right, no palladium since
titanium was used instead - and moreover Dash felt that titanium was
more active than palladium in similar circumstances, BUT he did use
lithium electrolyte ! Go figure.

Hydrogen, the simplest element in the Universe is also the most
complex in its interaction with other elements.

Lithium. Therefore, I conclude, following other scientists'
reasoning, that Lithium is not required for the reaction.
