Yes Dave, thin layers of Pd have been studied and found to produce
energy. In addition, the behavior of helium and tritium show that they
are made very near the surface and not in the bulk. These issues have
been well discussed.

The question of whether or not this is a bulk effect can be
addressed by using a very thin plating of active material. If the
reaction is similar with the thin film that you get with a larger
bulk, or perhaps even a thicker plating, then it is surface
related. I assume that there is adequate evidence available at this
point from the many experiments that have been conducted. If this
can not be answered at this time I would be concerned.

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?
***It is possible it's a bulk effect but the evidence is only seen
at the surface. Like a landslide pushing a hundred trees into a
river, but the forces of the river at that point are strong enough
to pull the trees downstream until they cause a backup at the lower
energy part of the system. The causal event took place upstream
(or, inside the bulk) but the observed evidence is downstream (at
the surface).
