Yeah he's pretty dismissive of the Heat/Helium work, which I disagree with for PdD at least, and we're still waiting on reliable ash measurements from NiH, but he's of course entitled to his opinion and I still have a lot of respect for his views. I think, like he said, his theory applies better to mysterious electromagnetic "free energy" systems than it does to LENR, but he thinks the same phenomenon is at play in both.
I think non-linear anharmonic modes may indeed be at play here. As I think I mentioned in the interview, on a personal level, I like the analogy of loaded hydride in a wet or gaseous system as a non-equilibrium, non-linear, open system of sorts -- so I think energy concentration (in "violation" of the second law) may indeed be at play. But on the flip side I can't totally dismiss Storms' point of view that doesn't think any sort of abnormal energy concentration is necessary -- that linear reaction-diffusion can get H/D to the NAE efficiently enough without needing to invoke non-linear dynamics. It's hard to say. I'm hoping the ash analysis being carried out by ELFORSK can shed some light on what's going on (i.e. fusion or not fusion). I'm banking on that, because I don't really have a lot of faith DGT will be releasing a wealth of mass spectrometer work anytime soon, even though they promised to at last years ICCF.
