There was one figure which shows the visual manifestations photographed from the experiments, with the theoretical model of the E-flds (on the right). It was very clear that fields were present in the electrolyte, as one could see the manifestations of the field-lines in the photographs taken of the area above the electrodes. Electrolyte concentrations varied from 0.02 to 0.08M KCl. I believe LENR typically uses 0.1M, so just slightly more conductive than this reference. Now, this experiment was done using AC, 100Hz to 10000 Hz.
First of all, the work being criticized uses a DC field. AC is considerably more complicated. AC will, for example, effectively pass right through the acrylic wall. If this was 6000 V AC, at 10,000 Hz, and if it actually had some available current, the thing would blow up!
Secondly, there is no question that electric fields exist in the electrolyte. But not fields of a few thousand volts per cm, produced by the external field. The external DC field has, essentially, no effect on the fields in the electrolyte, which are, in this experiment, produced entirely by the electrolytic voltage.
