That is a possibility as well. I still need to convince myself that hydrinos are possible before I can accept that reality.
The Q pulses generated by one LENR group behave somewhat similar to what we would be generating with our large mechanical kicks. I am coming to the realization that heat is actually sound that is of a random nature instead of directed. They both can be represented by kinetic energy and momentum of particles. Add the fact that a shockwave is also of this nature and I suspect that some pieces of the puzzle might fall into place. Heat equals random kinetic energy of particles. Shockwaves and sound waves are directed forms. Hum. I started looking into detonation waves and shaped charges to get some more ideas.

You could start with your 10,000 reactions and compare that to the volume and thus number of atoms of Pd to see how common the active sites are as compared to the general metal matrix. We might be able to take this number and effectively see how much energy would be available per atom for a trigger if spread evenly, although you may have already performed this calculation with the melting figure. I am attempting to see if the trigger would be too weak unless it comes in a small package which would tend to support the alpha or proton type of particle. > > >The cone shape does strongly suggest that a particle type of ignition is occurring which propagates along the main momentum direction. I find it interesting that there also appears to be a coordination among the trigger and the responding sites so that the effect proceeds in a well defined direction again somewhat like a laser. ...it may not necessarily be nuclear. A Hydrino amplification reaction would produce about 6 times more energy than it consumes, with each reaction yielding from 100's to 1000's of eV. Such a reaction would tend to propagate in a line, due to conservation of momentum. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
