Would it be your opinion then, that the A-Z alloy (84% Ni, 16% Pd) would have a slightly tighter internal "cavity" than pure palladium? That could be important, if true. Again, it is important to go back to graph in the 2003 paper where this alloy is shown to hold almost a 3:1 atomic ratio of hydrogen relative to the metal atoms. There was a time in LENR when 1:1 was thought to be the best that you could get. Now we find 3:1 with the new alloy and in addition to that, a tighter cavity ... voila - fusion with no added energy above the 300 psi over-pressure. I'd have to call that very remarkable... Jones
