*Accidental nanoparticle discovery could hail revolution in manufacturing* Conformant with the principles of Nanoplasmonics, the optimum micro-particle shape to support LENR is the sea urchin particle. This description of the particle as sea urchins comes from their characteristic spiny appearance; the particles consist of nanotubes filled with iron, with equal lengths pointing outwards in all directions from a central particle. Dr Baxendale states: "We were surprised to see this rare kind of iron inside the nanotubes. While we don't know much about its behavior, we can see that the presence of this small fraction of iron greatly influences the magnetic properties of the nanoparticle." This understanding about the magnetic behavior of the particle might well be falsely attributed to its iron content. The sea urchin topology and its associated strong LENR based nature could be producing its magnetic effect (anaopole ?) even in the absence of heat and hydrogen dielectric. LENR developers should make an attempt to use nickel to fill the carbon nanotubes instead of iron and to also attempt to coat the carbon nanotubes with a covering of Ni64 and/or Ni62. Nickel vapor disposition could easily coat the particle’s carbon nanowire projections. I recommend that is type particle and its various possible nickel variants be tested extensively for LENR activity.
