you should read larsen slides there http://www.slideshare.net/lewisglarsen/lattice-energy-llctechnical-overviewcarbon-seed-lenr-networkssept-3-2009 it talks of some possible LENR happening in carbon context,
page 39 the talk about the replication of a japanese researcher (Oshawa) experiment (in 1965) with carbon electrode arking in water. seems to be a very carefull experimentation, and contamination does not explain the results... few other similar experimenst described, and theory proposed 2012/2/22 Michael Foster <[email protected]> > This work is based on the assumption that there is no iron deposited in > the carbon "soot".
