Hi,
The sequence you suggest is not observed!! Therefore, we must agree,
transmutation CAN NOT be the source of heat from an e-Cat.
It is not logical to state that because the results of a particular
transmutation theory are not in evidence, then all transmutation
must be ruled
out.
Yes, all transmutation as a source of energy can be ruled out. The
targets cannot move. They cannot seek out the NAE. Either the NAE is
located in a particle, in which case the reaction can exhaust all the
target in that small particle or the particle is dead and no
transmutation can occur in that particle. The target cannot move to
where the NAE might be located. This severely limits how much energy
can come from this source, which is less than is reported. Hydrogen
as a source of energy does not have this problem because, as a gas, it
can seek out every NAE in each active particle and continue to make
energy as long as the gas is supplied.
Oh, and BTW, your own theory is also a transmutation theory (in the
broadest
sense). ;)
No, my theory is based on FUSION of hydrogen isotopes. We need to be
clear how we define words because otherwise we will never understand
the process. I believe that transmutation takes place as a minor
consequence of fusion in the same NAE if a target nuclei happens to be
in the wrong place at the wrong time. Otherwise, transmutation does
not occur.

The transmutation model that I believe that the ash assays of LENR
reactors point to is a quark plasma model in which nuclei are broken
down by fission and concurrently built up by fusion. The elements so
derived could be reprocessed by a reaction reformulation process
indefinitely.
For example, Ni fusions to Cu by addition of another p, then it
fissions to Co, then fissions to Fe, then fission to Cr, then
fission to Ti, then fusions to V, then fusions to Cr and so on over
and over again.
In this way, the energy (E=Mc2) content of the initial fuel load of
metal and gas is gradually released by repetitive nuclear processes.
The mass of the fuel load gradually evaporates over months of
operation.
As your calculations show, this is the only way that a Ni/H reaction
can operate for months of years without reload.
This long duration reaction fuel load requirement puts a tight limit
on the reactions that can produce this long duration release of
nuclear power.
