>From the products of transmutation that we see in many LENR experiments, it sure looks to me like the protons and neutrons in the input material are being chopped up, blended together, and reformed into a wide range of both light and heavy output elements.
For example, in the Mizuno reaction, it looks like the neutrons of deuterium in the hydrogen envelope are being reformatted into an equal number of protons in a reaction that takes energy to perform (endothermic). What is LENR doing to those deuterium atoms? It also looks like the metal lattice substrate is being changed. See https://mospace.umsystem.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10355/36817/SimulationNuclearTransmutationPresentation.pdf?sequence=2 The extreme energy needed to breakup protons and neutrons is contraindicated in such gentle systems such as Dr Cravens sphere. In following the dots, the assumption that most observers make is that subatomic particles are inviolate in LENR. But are they?
