Jones, I would expect the energy transfer to be in both directions. The big question we are seeking an answer to is whether or not the energy difference steps are much smaller than the full amount released by the reaction. I think Bob is hoping that energy can be taken away in smaller chunks and that is what I would want to see as well.
Has anyone identified exactly where the large MeV energy from a D x D fusion is stored? It remains in place for a short duration until released. Perhaps it can be taken in many portions instead of one dangerous gamma. Should we be looking at the behavior of isomers for guidance since they are capable of long term storage of large amounts of nuclear energy?

It is pretty clear that the known reactions of spin transfer occur in small quantum increments. The DNP phenomena are good examples. Aren’t you completely misinterpreting what this article states in trying to shoehorn it in LENR? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_nuclear_polarisation First, It says nothing about transfer of spin energy from nucleus to electrons – only transfer from electrons to nucleus. Huge difference. Secondly, this transfer results in lower temperature of electrons – not higher. I see no conceivably way this can be used to justify slow energy release from an excited nucleus. Jones
