Robin, While the information you suggest acquiring is valuable, I think the important issue is not bulk energy absorption, but how hot "hot spots" can get - that is, how energy can be super-focused to LENR levels. Collective effects could occur when oppositely charged particles collide in strong localized currents or plasmon e-m fields, and result in surprisingly high energy concentrations. -- Lou Pagnucco
