Very inspiring and well motivated what you say here, Jojo. It leads, in my opinion to a crucial problem, question:
What is the essential difference between the classic LENR with Watts of heat release and the new LENR+ a la Rossi and DGT with enhanced heat release at the kWatts level? My answer was, from the start that it is the mechanism of genesis of active sites (NAE), Classic LENR works mainly with pre-formed active sites, limited in number/density while LENR+ is based on a continous generation of new active sites- it is a dynamic equilibrium between the active sites that are destroyed by the high temperature and the new ones that appear, the trick is to have many of these doing their task - a sequence of processes and reactions. You show the destructive side of elevated temperatures, the constructive side must be added and this is the clue of the LENR+ progress. The critical Debye temperature is one at which the dynamics of the atoms at the surface of the metal, changes. I have predicted this decisive role of surface dynamics long ago see please: http://inis.iaea.org/search/search.aspx?orig_q=RN:26035858 Axil describes a part of the details- the coming LENR_ events will reveal a lot, including the role of the dynamic equilibrium of the active sites- with details that can help us to go from principles to theories.
