Tom Clarke States: *They claim that SPP's (surface resonances) can amplify e-m fields and therefore this effect. That is likely true, though speculation. They claim very high amplification factors (corresponding to very high Qs). That is rampant speculation with no evidence. The reason it is not likely is that although very high Q's are possible in SPPs at low intensity, at high intensities nonlinearities are likely to reduce Q and so the ability to get very high Q is much reduced. I would not say eliminated - I don't know enough to say that - but any extrapolation of low intensity SPP Q to high intensities is counter to physics as we know it.*
The heartbeat and lifeblood of LENR is nonlinearities. The key structure in the NiH reactor is the soliton at the tip of its nanowires. This soliton grows strong through nonlinearities and is only weakened through dispersion (feeding the soliton EMF waves of random wavelengths). But these SPPs also provide global photon entanglement and superfluidity of Bose Einstein Condensation (BEC). This all but eliminates dispersion so the limit on soliton growth is removed. The KEY to LENR is the nonlinearity of unencumbered and almost infinite EMF concentration. The soliton supported by nanowire is an optimization in the NiH LENR concept which we call LENR+. LENR in a metal lattice uses a relative of the soliton called Intrinsic Localized Modes (ILMs) (Campbell, 2004)(Flach, 2008): ILMs, or discrete breathers. These are extremely spatially-localized, time-periodic, stable or very long-lived excitations in spatially extended, discrete, periodic (or quasiperiodic) systems. ILMs, which are localized in real space, arise in a large variety of nonlinear lattice models and are typically independent of the number of spatial dimensions of the lattice, the size of the lattice (which is, however, assumed to be large), and (for the most part) the precise choice of nonlinear forces acting on the lattice. The mechanism that permits the existence of ILMs has been understood theoretically for more than a decade, and such waves have now been observed in a wide variety of physical systems.
