Not oxygen, there are ppm and ppb impurities containing S, C and N including light hydrocarbures that are adsorbed on the nuclear active sites and destroy them- inactivate them almost irreversibly. For example laser irradiation of Cravens and Letts is able to partially and temporary remove these poison molecules and to start the LENR process. I am speaking about omnipresent traces of CO, SO2, SH2, CO, Sh2, metahne, ethylene...
To understand this well it is necessary: - to have a correct imagine of how polluted is the air; - to have practical experience and "feeling" in high vacuum technology to know how strong is the adherence of this killer polar molecules to the metallic surfaces. It happens that this morning I have received a nice message from Prof Francesco Piantelli- the initiator and main developer of this winner, uniquely reproducible LENR process- see please the Google translation re his opinion about cleanliness of the surfaces in this process. " Cleanliness is certainly very important and if it is not made satisfactory makes it very difficult to trigger the process of abnormal energy production. This was the main cause of the initial incomplete reproducibility of the phenomenon." Removing those poisons is a "sine qua non" condition for CF, a necessary condition but it is not sufficient. I have told this for years but nobody is listening. I feel like those guys from Australia who have discovered the cause of ulcers. Happy to see that the creators of this Ni-H process know it. Unfortunately other researchers ignore these poison molecules and will have reproducible CF five minutes after the Hell freezes.
