Axil,
I agree with your takeaway that plasmonics and condensates are
integral to LENR but think you may have still left something on the table. They
mention that polaritons are difficult to create synchronize and normally want
to cancel by going in opposite directions. Could this explain the notorious
difficulty in replication of LENR? Could success or failure of replication be
based upon coincidence of asymmetry where geometries produce these same non
cancelling vortices. Lasers may be a poor choice as you as you mentioned but I
would still look closer at the mask end of this discovery where said laser
creates plasmons in the mask apertures that translate back to photons at a
shorter wavelength as they exit the aperature. I think that masking of the
plasma may represent an exciting new parameter that deserves testing and
evaluation. A laser might be difficult to incorporate in a reactor, but masks
in a hi melting point metal like tungsten could be easily imbedded in, around
and at different focal lengths to the powder where researchers would be
wildcatting for effects from the ambient light already being produced as the
powder is heated up to operating temp –not coherent light but utilizing an
existing part of the system it would be an attempt to force the vortices into
non cancelling mode.
