In LENR, there is direct experimental evidence for the existence of such hot spots in before-and-after scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the surfaces of experimental LENR devices, some of which have lithium in or around them. In post-experiment SEM images http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/SzpakSexperiment.pdf, a host of new, weird looking micron-scale structures are observed scattered randomly across the metallic surfaces.
Various researchers have described these unusual structural features as resembling “craters”, “volcanoes”, flash melted and cooled “puddles,” “gas holes”, “ejecta from craters”, etc. Based on their appearance, they appear to be the result of some sort of “flash” melting of the surface in small sites at many locations. A US Navy group actually imaged an operating cathode with an IR camera: hot spots in infrared looked like fireflies in a field at night In their paper, Widom and Larsen calculated LENR reaction rates based on their theory and found they matched the experimental results. They also estimated the ‘noise temperature’ for such ‘hot spots’ to be 4 000 – 6 000 degrees Kelvin, comparable to the temperature on the surface of the sun and above the boiling point of any metal. This is entirely consistent with many experimental observations. Use some logic here. In the LENR+ Ni/H reactors developed by Rossi and DGT, there are delicate nanowires attached to the micro-particles. 6000K heat will destroy these important structures. Therefore 6000K heat does not occur in the Ni/H reactors.
