Could it be that the active regions are tiny hole like structures instead of wide cracks? CNTs are much more uniform in size than random cracks upon the metal surfaces and I must wonder if a uniform sized structure would encourage common coupling enhancement.
One reason that I mention CNTs is that iron is seldom found without carbon contamination and it would seem that native nickel likely has the same issue. The different grades of steel are obtained by controlling the percent of carbon contained within and by careful heat treating to achieve the desired grain structure. I read somewhere that all of the iron used today along with the nickel was originated in meteorites from long ago and that if true would imply that carbon is always included in the metal mix. This raises the possibility that the secret ingredient might be carbon and how it is distributed throughout the metal. It doesn't take too much imagination to picture tiny sections of carbon tubes or balls capturing the hydrogen and becoming the centers of LENR activity. If true, no wonder that it is extremely difficult to construct the metal surface into the desired form. This concept may have already been discussed on the board, but it might have merit. I just want to throw the concept into the mix to open additional areas of inquiry. Of course this idea is in relation to Rossi type reactors that use nickel as the main metallic ingredient.

Putting electrons into a nano-box is the first step in the LENR process.

Dave Now, cracks actually can be studied, are they predominantly monodimensional as it is probably desired- chennels or bidimensional, can cracking be controlled? It has much to do with metallurgy. Some experiments could be done with nanotubes- probably if the material of the walls is not relevant. If Ed is right, I will gladly apologize in any case. As I have shown inthe VUCA paper, we need ceratainties. Peter
