Fran, the gap between nano-particles is arbitrary, undefined, and
generally too big to achieve what I think is required. In addition, CF
occurs in the absence of nano-particles. Therefore, their presence is
not required. We agree that a gap is required. The only difference is
in how the gap forms. I believe a gap formed by stress relief is more
general in its formation and has properties that I believe are
important, that a gap between arbitrary particles having an unknown
and complex shape does not have. That is the only difference between
our views about a gap.

Ed,
I don’t understand why you are so reluctant to
consider the gap between nanoparticles as capable of supporting NAE.
The geometry is essentially the inverse of a skeletal catalyst- I am
more likely to believe the particles are inert and solid - only the
geometry formed between particles is active – it is the same
region that experiences stiction force which tends to make these
gaps even smaller to the limit of particle shape and packing
geometry. I think the micro scale tubules used by Rossi may combine
micro and nano cavities as the bodies both pack together and their
protrusions interlace to form smaller and smaller pockets between
the particles. Perhaps a marriage made in heaven if the IR energy
feeding plasmons theory has any weight.

Subject: EXTERNAL: Re: [Vo]:Interesting paper from nature about
successful cold fusion experiment
I'm glad to see a paper by Mizuno. But this paper raises an
interesting question, Are nanoparticles the NAE?
I personally believe nanoparticles alone are inert. However,
particles of a critical size are the HOST for the NAE. In other
words, the nano-gap I propose to be the NAE grows in a particle and
the particle size determines the size of the gap. After all, CF has
been found to occur under a variety of conditions, including in
complete absence of nanoparticles. However, nano-gaps can form in
any material, but not frequently with the correct dimension.
The power being generated is determined by the number NAE present.
The better the material is able to create nano-gaps, the more power
will be produced. Use of small particles improves this ability.
Consequently, I'm suggesting that people should not focus on the
particle itself but on what is happening within the particle.
Unless the NAE is produced within the particle, the particle is
inert no matter what size it has.

Eric, ion bombardment has a rich literature containing 90 references
in my library. You need to read this before speculation is useful.
Ion bombardment can produce either hot fusion and/or cold fusion,
depending on the conditions and applied energy. Low energy favors
cold fusion if the NAE is present and high energy favors hot fusion
without a NAE.
At ICCF18 I will be presenting a poster session paper by Mizuno
showing that ion bombardment iteself can create the NAE. It produces
nanoparticles on wires subjected to glow discharge for about 3 days.
He has SEM photos and excess heat results showing this.
Mizuno himself cannot attend.
