We can categorize LENR theories into two distinct classes based on the mechanism of causation, local and remote. The Casmir cavity theory is a local theory were the cavity causes fusion close to the cavity. Ed Storms theory is a local theory where the reaction occurs inside the crack. Local theories including the Mills theory are invalid, IMHO.
On the other hand, the magnetic beam theory is a remote theory where the anapole magnetic beam causes nuclear reactions at some considerable distance from the volume of space that has produced the magnetic beam. The magnetic beam projects out from the volume of space that produced it toward a remote location beyond the origin of the beam. Like a bullet out of a gun, the bullet projects power remotely onto a target at a remote location. We can tell how the reaction is caused by looking at the nuclear ash produced by the reaction. If the ash is mostly light elements, the reaction is remote because the magnetic beam is projecting out into the hydrogen envelope. If the ash is heavy, like iron, the beam may be local because most of the reaction occurs close to the nickel that is supporting the reaction. But there is a complication. A reaction at a distance may look like a local reaction if the volumes of production are closely packed together. If the particles of the nickel powder are packed close together, the chances are good that the hydrogen and nickel will both be involved in the reaction producing iron and copper as an ash product because the magnetic beam will interact with a nickel particle that is very close to the volume that produced the beam. In a tightly packed volume of nickel particles, the chances are good that the magnetic beam will hit another nickel particle producing copper or iron. This is like a gunfight in a room packed with gunfighters. Any given bullet does not need to travel far from the gun that fired it before it hits a target very close to the point of its firing. In the Rossi reactor, a goodly amount of iron and copper is produced. This tells me that the nickel powder in the Rossi reactor is packed tightly together. In the DGT reactor, almost no iron or copper is produced. This tells me that the nickel particles are well spaced apart and their negative face is pointing outward away from the nickel foam mesh that is supporting them. The supporting nickel mesh provides a positively charged backplane that protects the micro particles from the nuclear reactions and projects the magnetic beam outward into the hydrogen envelope. This innovation is why the DGT reactor is a better design then the Rossi design where more particle destruction occurs. In the Mizuno design, the magnetic beam projects outward from the positively charged surface of the electrode. This geometry allows from a goodly amount of the nuclear reactions to occur in the hydrogen envelope and a small amount in the nickel electrode surface itself.
