Jojo, I am hoping for the best in your testing. I am also trying to build and test a system, but I am several steps behind you. May I ask, did you get successful results from your gen1 system, and can you share any details that may help in the tests I am conducting? I am only using Ni powder and Hydrogen combinations with temperature and pressure in the current tests.

I am missing 2 parts that I can not source here. It will have to wait until I get back to the States. I have built a small and cheap reactor to provide a "proof of concept" test. Reactor cost less than $100 to provide this proof of concept. If successful, I am having a full size "Fat-Cat" reactor built. My reactor does not require dielectric fluid. Density to fluid is irrelevant. No ultra-sound, but I do have a proprietary means of dispersing the nanoparticles.
