In the cold fusion system commonly referred to as the Pirelli high school reactor, very detailed information is available.
http://www.e-catworld.com/2012/04/english-translation-of-build-instructions-for-pirelli-athanor-cell/ This system with a COP of 4 can provide an excellent test bed to verify the crack theory. What I believe will be seen is that the crack theory shows one unique manifestation of a more general causation principle. This more general causation principle I believe is topological material mediated charge accumulation. This more general theory covers cracks but can operate beyond cracks to include other types of systems; one being the Pirelli high school reactor. In the Pirelli system, there is no special preparation of the tungsten powder whose grain size varies between 100 microns and 50 nanometers, in variable proportions with a total weight of g. 1 to 2. The high school reaction will not function unless potassium carbonate is included in the mud mix. It is this low work function based potassium carbonate catalyst that provides the topological material acting to accumulate charge as a super nano capacitor which overcomes the coulomb barrier in the tungsten powder when the nanowires come into contact with any given grain of tungsten. The potassium carbonate will produce long thin nano whiskers which serve the same function of charge accumulation as cracks do in the Ed Storms model. To provide some background on this, I refer to this recent article that shows the ability of nanowires to store large amounts of charge as a result of quantum mechanical effects. http://phys.org/news/2012-06-nanocable-big-boon-energy-storage.html 'Nanocable' could be big boon for energy storage This serendipitous discovery reports that the capacitance of the Nano cable is at least 10 times greater than what would be predicted with classical electrostatics. "We didn't expect to create this when we started," said study co-author Jun Lou, associate professor of mechanical engineering and materials science at Rice. "At the outset, we were just curious to see what would happen electrically and mechanically if we took small copper wires known as interconnects and covered them with a thin layer of carbon." The size of these Nano cables is very large compared to the estimated size of the potassium/carbon Nano fibers produced in the high school system. I say this to point out that small nano sized material is more quantum mechanically active than larger dimensioned materials. These Nano cables are 10 times fatter than the potassium whiskers generated in the high school system. I say look at the tungsten grains used in the high school system. Look for cracks or carbon covered potassium nanowires. An electron microscope will tell the tail.
