I am not sure one can disregard thermal effects, because the average temperature of the reactor is relatively low. I would imagine that , at the point of contact, very high temperature could be reached, like in the case of flash temperatures of sliding contacts. I would also expect some level of wear, so the surface of the balls should change with time , which should somehow impact the catalytic effect of functionalized balls. The whole idea is fascinating and perhaps might be technologically feasible, but the theory seems somewhat lagging behind.
Excellent presentation!
Nice talk！
