We all have our favorite theories. Storms finds it significant that the reactions seem to take place on the surface or near it. The cracks seem significant. On this thread, it seems like "hairs" can possibly trigger a BEC. And the hairs are similar to cracks in how they snag electrons. Maybe it's all coming together.
I've been trying to reconcile Kim's BEC theory with Storms's NAE theory with my trapped balloons analogy. It seems like BECs would form in the middle of the material rather than on the surface. Unless the edges act like a fence and pin atoms the same way that a crowd gets pinned & people start getting trampled. Then, between the "hairs" and the "edge fence", there might be ways that formation of BECs becomes plausible. There's a possibility that the surface effects are masking other activity. I'll go back to the balloon analogy. Let's say that, rather than just a popped balloon, you have a pellet gun in the middle of a million balloon/tinkertoy lattice. You fire the gun perpendicular to the direction of 2 balloons colliding within 1 tinker toy box, which aims the fire right at the corners of the matrix. Can you hear the pellet gun fire? Probably not. And its stronger emission is even absorbed by the lattice. Could you hear a .22 going off, even if it pops a bunch of balloons in its path? Probably not, and the escallated stronger emission would probably be absorbed by the lattice. In this analogy, the bullets are the gamma rays or neutrons or whatever strong nuclear emissions that need to be absorbed by the LENR Lattice. The "gun" is a fusion event that generates an energetic neutron/gamma wave/whatever in a single direction, as discussed in a previous posting. Now, once the .22 gun fires along balloon lattice, the energy only gets absorbed if the lattice intercepts with the escape vector of the energy emission. Let's say it's going straight along the lattice & it won't hit anything as long as the lattice is straight. But if there's an imperfection in the lattice, the bullet that was minding its own business suddenly hits a part of the lattice. At the point where the bullet hits the lattice, that's where we would see all the kinetic activity and it would appear that this is where the emission took place, but it didn't -- the original emission took place way down inside the lattice. So my reconciling suggestion is that BECs are forming inside a lattice but generating a bunch of the energetic collision evidence at the surface.
