If enough helium forms, this will certainly be true. However, this
requires the effect run for a long time without this aid.
I have long wondered if evidence exists for a limited chain reaction
of some sort since some of the earlier surface pictures appeared to
demonstrate explosive crater formations.
Two kinds of surface effects occur. Some are caused by material
depositing from an impure electrolyte at the site of H2 loss from a
crack. Others are caused by local melting produced by a very high
concentration of NAE. These two types are easy to separate.
Perhaps Ed or someone has seen very strong evidence that each LENR
event is entirely independent of the next one and limited in scale
to just one helium formation. Is anyone aware of evidence in
support to this hypothesis?
The local areas flash off and on in apparently random ways, as been
seen and measured by Szpak et al.
I could imagine that some form of precursor event is required before
another can be initiated. Perhaps our favorite spark plug in the
form of a cosmic ray deposits the secret ingredient that then allows
for the follow up LENR action. No one could doubt that a cosmic ray
has sufficient energy to trigger a small nuclear fusion reaction.
We need to be careful not to automatically reject such a nuclear
event as being inconsistent since no high energy radiation is
evident. I would contend that a cosmic ray represents a very high
level of high energy radiation by itself.
Before you speculate too much, Dave, you really need to understand all
that has been discovered and observed. I spent 23 years doing this, so
my model is not based on casual ideas.

Has anyone melted a working cathode to see if it contains any
trapped He?
We all believe LENR is a surface effect, but its possible that its a
bulk effect, that only works once then is dependent on giving He a
way to escape to the surface?
