Hi Eric, I have made progress and have constructed a new reactor optimized to allow low energy photons to escape. These would be unmistakable signatures of LENR without having to be so optimized to show excess heat to the extent it proves a nuclear source. I have seen transient heat bursts and I

I believe that some fractionation must be taking place, but not to phonons. Phonons are contra-indicated by the experimental evidence. Phonons dissipate rapidly to heat with a decay constant that is based on the acoustic velocity. This means that the temperature will be extremely high near the n

Rossi has stated that he starts with 10 micron sized particles (since identified as a nickel powder produced from the carbonyl process), adds a catalyst (widely believed to be a nanopowder of some kind), and processes the mix "in a way that leads to amplified tubercles on the surface". A search of

As Eric realizes, this is a critical issue for anyone wanting to replicated Rossi. In fact, the material shown in the previous image, could indeed be called “micron sized” and one would not be dishonest. However the importance of hollow nickel tube could be the sine qua non of the Rossi sche

From: Roarty, Francis X Bob, Much discussion regarding micro “tubule” geometry of Rossi powders leads many of us to consider the hair like protrusions as forming nano geometry between the grains as they pack to form a bulk powder.
