Robin and Jones— One thing I noticed is that the Nano -sized MG particles are made (a least in part) by ion deposition. I can envision a Ni-H base or a Pd base or merely a Ni base particle with layers of a few atoms thickness that are the reactants at the surface of the nano particle which readily emit charged alphas or other charged particles that can facilitate direct electrical current and its energy. Excess heat (phonic energy of electronic structure of the entire particle—a coherent system the has good heat and electrical conductance) keeps the reaction going. Fuel is contained in the surface layer which gets depleted with time and leaves a base Ni or whatever for ion deposition “refueling”. The H in a Ni-H base would migrate to the surface with time to participate in the LENR.
As you may conclude I do not agree that a localized Lawson criterion is applicable, but that spin energy states are what are coupled and allow nuclear transitions reflecting the 2nd Law of TD – potential energy going to kinetic energy with a loss of order in the process, i.e., increased entropy. Local magnetic field control the respective energy states and the coupling within a coherent system which is an entire nano particle. You heard it first on Vortex-l.

I agree, particularly if the GLM can be made as minute particles that have an increased surface area, though "nano" may be so small that the physical properties can change. This could be either a good or a bad thing. Only experiment will tell. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk local asymmetry = temporary success
