If by some quirk of luck, the Cincinnati method of making the tile was similar to the Arata method I don't think they made them. The tile I saw in Chris Tinsley's living room literally WAS a kitchen tile (I'm 90% sure) with a melted hole in it. Chris remarked something like you ought to see it

Nick, Well, consider this: Uranium tiles have been used in the glazing industry for many centuries, as uranium oxide makes an excellent ceramic glaze, and is reasonably abundant on the earth's crust. Was it yellow? G The yellow glazed tiles were said to be particularly strong emitters.

Nick, In the case of Arata, the zirconium is not thought to be active for anything except as a support and in its role as zirconia (oxidized to a dielectric). That is the insight of Lawandy. Arata's team merely found that when an alloy of zirconium and nickel and palladium (65/30/5) was heated

Jones. The tile burn was an effect that caused a hole to be burned right thought a ceramic tile (like one you would find in a kitchen or bathroom) using (if I remember rightly) no more than 50 watts input. The effect used a secret sauce but Chris was under an NDA. He did let slip that it was

Most likely there is some secret ingredient and / or method that Rossi uses that we don't know. What are the chances that you will replicate it? How about trying to reproduce Mills / BLP experiment ? The ingredients are listed in his paper and Mills told me that it works every time. He steered
