Ed,
I don't understand why you are so reluctant to consider the gap
between nanoparticles as capable of supporting NAE. The geometry is essentially
the inverse of a skeletal catalyst- I am more likely to believe the particles
are inert and solid - only the geometry formed between particles is active -
it is the same region that experiences stiction force which tends to make these
gaps even smaller to the limit of particle shape and packing geometry. I think
the micro scale tubules used by Rossi may combine micro and nano cavities as
the bodies both pack together and their protrusions interlace to form smaller
and smaller pockets between the particles. Perhaps a marriage made in heaven if
the IR energy feeding plasmons theory has any weight.

Subject: EXTERNAL: Re: [Vo]:Interesting paper from nature about successful cold
fusion experiment
I'm glad to see a paper by Mizuno. But this paper raises an interesting
question, Are nanoparticles the NAE?
I personally believe nanoparticles alone are inert. However, particles of a
critical size are the HOST for the NAE. In other words, the nano-gap I propose
to be the NAE grows in a particle and the particle size determines the size of
the gap. After all, CF has been found to occur under a variety of conditions,
including in complete absence of nanoparticles. However, nano-gaps can form in
any material, but not frequently with the correct dimension.
The power being generated is determined by the number NAE present. The better
the material is able to create nano-gaps, the more power will be produced. Use
of small particles improves this ability. Consequently, I'm suggesting that
people should not focus on the particle itself but on what is happening within
the particle. Unless the NAE is produced within the particle, the particle is
inert no matter what size it has.

Eric, ion bombardment has a rich literature containing 90 references in my
library. You need to read this before speculation is useful. Ion bombardment
can produce either hot fusion and/or cold fusion, depending on the conditions
and applied energy. Low energy favors cold fusion if the NAE is present and
high energy favors hot fusion without a NAE.
At ICCF18 I will be presenting a poster session paper by Mizuno showing that
ion bombardment iteself can create the NAE. It produces nanoparticles on wires
subjected to glow discharge for about 3 days. He has SEM photos and excess heat
results showing this.
Mizuno himself cannot attend.
