From: Edmund Storms
When LENR occurs in a lattice, all the protons, deuterons and electrons are innerconnected. They all are restrained in their motion by forces that hold the lattice together. What you say is true, Ed - but essentially irrelevant. You did not read the premise - at least not carefully - which clearly states that we are talking about nano-porosity and NOT about lattice chemistry such as is seen in Pd-D. Why are you always lost in the old world of Pd-D? A Casimir pore inside Raney nickel for instance could have a diameter of 8 nm. Plenty of room. In which case we would NOT be talking about chemistry but about plasma physics. Should the contents of that pore be H3+ then chemistry is modestly helpful but insufficient to explain the operative dynamics. Thus you entire argument favoring electrochemistry falls apart from the starting premise. * If you are a physicist and want to explain LENR, please first learn some chemistry. If you are a chemist and want to understand the Ni-H reaction as it happens in nanocavities, please first learn to appreciate the physics of nanocavities, the Casimir force, quantum opto-mechanics, QCD and the strong force, the solar diproton reaction, SPP and Pauli exclusion. There is no room for fusion of protons to deuterium in this kind of physics. The dark ages of Pd-D are ancient history in 2014, and we are now moving into a new level of understanding demanding a multi-disciplinary approach based on quantum physics. It is one in which electrochemistry is helpful - but far from sufficient to explain the dynamics of gain in Ni-H. Jones
