the theories describing f/H say there can be no direct photon transactions.

The report cites the fuel as a combination of LiAlH4 and Ni + Fe. It appears the Ni is treated with an Fe catalyst as I surmised - this is the powder I have been working with. The LiAlH4 means that Rossi is using a hydride supplying only H2 and not D. Bob Higgins
