I reported a similar runaway with Nano nickel powder at 10nm in my 2012 EPRI report. From: Arnaud Kodeck Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2018 12:52 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: RE: [Vo]:Yokose et al. report 3 kW peak power from Cu-Ni-Zn composite At ICCF21

The big news, as you commented earlier - could be that there is finally good reason to suspect that scale-up to kilowatts of continuous power is on the horizon. It may be costly, even without the palladium - to process that much active nanopowder. As a result... to overcome the expense of

At ICCF21, JBP was also reporting such runaway event with PdNiZr powder. The quantity of PdNiZr was about 100g when the runaway occurred. The runaway phenomena stopped when temperature reached ~450°C which is the upper limit for this kind of powder. The difference is that the runaway started

The "Z" in this report is zirconia not zinc (Zn). This matrix material is rather similar to Ahern's nanopowder technique also using zirconia as a carrier, but with no palladium at all. Celani would probably say that it is vindication for his work with copper nickel From: Jed Rothwell
