I have always believed that LENR is caused by an accumulation of electrons that are localized in a small space whose collective charge would screen the coulomb barrier of nearby atoms.
Here is the most promising scheme that I have come across so far; it goes as follows: The empty space BETWEEN the Nano rods projecting out of a micro-particle or the crack in a metal lattice becomes the home of electrons that accumulate there and are localized within that space. They form an electron droplet where the electrons are quantized like the electrons that orbit an artificial atom. See this YouTube to understand the physic involved. http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=1hj7tM2WgCA&feature=endscreen Except in the empty space there is no nucleus, just electrons that oscillate in a predictable way. Electrons are added to the cavity as energy is supplied to the system. These electrons come from the atoms that comprise the nanowires as they form dipoles where the holes exist that correspond to associated electrons or from unbound electrons on the surface of the metal lattice The greater number of electrons that can be packed into the cavity, the larger the coulomb suppression effect will become. In a Rossi reactor the electrostatic energy to charge these cavities come from the “secret sauce” thermoelectric additives. In the DGT system, the energy comes from the thermoelectric additives and a plasmoid formed by a spark discharge. The LENR+ system is distinguished from a simple LENR system because the LENR+ system provides more electron packing energy to localize more electrons into the cavities. The Fano effect provides constructive/destructive interference to the electron loading energy to add electrons to the electron droplet. The technology described in the video provides experimental analog support for understanding the physics of LENR. If the suppression of the coulomb barrier on the cavity walls is proportional to the electron count localized in the cavity. Cheers: Axil
