What the Rossi experiments has shown over many years is that LENR in a lattice is not workable because the reaction cannot be controlled. This lack of control makes the E-Cat technology untenable. Rossi has realized this and Rossi is will to let this knowhow fadeaway. The LENR reaction wants to operate at the boiling point of the metal lattice (nickel) which is 3000K. LENR is based on activation of nanoparticles in a dusty plasma. Rossi has struggled to control the LENR reaction at low temperatures but he always fails because LENR would invariably get to 3000K and meltdown his reactor. So Rossi finally decided to use reactor structural material that doesn't melt at 3000K. This material must be an insulator that does not melt at 3000K. Mills has stumbled on the same reaction and his SunCell runs at the vapor point of silver at only 2200C. Mills has solved the meltdown problem is another way, he justs runs everything as a liquid without any containment. Holmlid is on to the same LENR mechanism. There is nothing unusual with metalized hydrogen. In the LENR reaction, metalized hydrogen acts like any other metallic nanoparticle.
Using a lattice for LENR is a losing proposition. The dusty plasma approach to the LENR reaction is the only way to go. I beleive that Rossi has settled on a high temperature tube material that works: boron nitride, a transparent isolator whose melting point is 3000C.

BTW, eye witness accounts claim that the tube itself is transparent, and the electrodes bright silver colour. nothing is visible in the gap. I have no idea about sealing or anything else - except that the plasma can apparently be made 'any colour you like'. The example shown was glowing **yellow** when energised for short periods. That's all the info I have.* Unlike most other observers of Rossi, I know that the QuarkX works because its reported behavior fits in with my understanding of how LENR works. For example: New research into polariton condensates has revealed a side emission channel that produces light whose frequency is proportional to the density of the polariton aggregation...for example, the dense polariton condinsate produces a higher frequency light (blue) and a less dense condinsate will produce red light. Rossi must have a way to control the density of the polariton population. See https://phys.org/news/2016-06-…einstein-condensates.html <https://phys.org/news/2016-06-superconductors-lasers-bose-einstein-condensates.html> They tackled this problem by highly exciting exciton-polaritons, which are particle-like excitations in a semiconductor systems and formed by strong coupling between electron-hole pairs and photons. *They observed high-energy side-peak emission *that cannot be explained by two mechanisms known to date: Bose-Einstein condensation of exciton-polaritons, nor conventional semiconductor lasing driven by the optical gain from unbound electron hole plasma. The details on this side channel are here https://www.nature.com/articles/srep25655 High-energy side-peak emission of exciton-polariton condensates in high density regime In summary, eyewitness reports of QuarkX operating characteristics fit my technical expectations perfectly in very many ways.
