I agree with you that the details probably contain what we desire if we can read them properly. It is apparent that heat is one of the major factors involved in the reaction rate and we must understand why this is so. I have requested on many occasions for Rossi or Defkalion to release a graph plotting the energy release of a small volume of material as a function of its internal temperature but it has not been delivered. One day I hope to see this chart.
It might be that the cosmic rays just begin the process of storing energy since they allow the material to overcome the coulomb barrier at any temperature.

Cosmic ray background is random but essentially a continuous condition on the time scale of nuclear active site generation. Both the Rossi and Piantelli reactors are subject to run away burn up conditions when the temperature of the hydrogen and nickel rises above a critical temperature. The essentially continuous Cosmic ray background cannot explain how and why this condition could occur. If heat is a triggering condition, such a triggering mechanism would explain how reactor burn up could happen. Details, details, details…it’s all in the details. If one assumes that the Ni/H reaction occurs as described in detail by both Rossi and Piantelli, many amazing and astounding quantum mechanical clockwork implications must be drawn. Such implications might one day open a doorway to the stars; a good reason to look into the details and implications of this technology with great vigor.

In one of the demos, it appeared to turn on at a specific temperature. -mark Cosmic ray background is random but essentially a continuous condition on the time scale of nuclear active site generation. Nuclear active sites capable of chain reactions are not dense. They are islands which apparently grow with time, otherwise events many orders of magnitude larger than 10^4 fusions would occur. The size of craters would not be nearly uniform. The cross section of such islands to cosmic rays etc. apparently grows slowly, and is affected by temperature, and external conditions and forms of stimulation. This is one reason LENR can not be expected to be useful for nuclear explosives. Triggers in the form of cosmic rays and other background radiation are constantly present in the environment. The active sites have to be generated on demand. Practical LENR is inherently a dynamic process. Best regards, Horace Heffner http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/
