The previous post on copper-hydride lasing was unclear. The suggestion is that there is a remote possibility that Rossi could be achieving internal photon coherency from copper hydride vapor. He would want the coherency and not the beam. The photon coherency inside the reactor would then be related to triggering the energetic reaction of hydrogen and nickel.
Since Ni-62 is now claimed by Rossi in Claim One to be the active nickel
isotope, and Cu-63 is the copper isotope which lases, then it could that we
are seeing fractional hydrogen converting nickel based on quantum
entanglement from copper coherency. The way the patent is now worded, only
Ni-62 is active - so Rossi has essentially backed himself into a corner on
that detail. This could mean that he is very confident of the mechanism.
Obviously, he is not trying to create a laser that projects a beam of light
out of the reactor. The window would allow for an external beam to be
focused into the vapor to start, or to maintain, photon coherency. Such a
reactor could be started with a heat source plus the laser, and then the
heat is shut down but laser input maintains internal coherency.
There is some indication that the heat source for the HotCat startup is
natural gas.
This all assumes that Rossi is for real. To be honest, based on his past
antics, I see the odds of that being well below 50/50.

Hmm... this may be the first time that the particular detail
about copper metal vapor has come up, but it raises the issue (if Rossi
could be believed) ... about copper vapor and an internal laser.
It could be inadvertent lasing but providing a window in his
reactor could indicate that it is also being stimulated. Copper vapor lasers
are efficient, but require 1500 C - so halides are often used.

... makes one wonder if copper hydride would work. This
paper turns up:

... but we all tend to think of Rossi as not being that
sophisticated. It would be mind boggling if lasing were being employed.
Rothwell has been saying for some time that the underneath
the clown costume, Rossi is a brilliant inventor and that the is method in
his madness.
Is the Hot-Cat an indication of more intentional
misdirection, or is Rossi for real ?

LOL - Copper is incredibly mobile with a
vapour pressure several orders of magnitude higher then Nickel at the same
temperature. Even at 950C the copper vapour is spreading is spreading copper
everywhere... almost as annoying as all the inconsistencies in Rossi's
patent.

How would the nickel/hydrogen mixture be at
a lower temperature than the region that completely surrounds it? Heat
would travel toward the cooler center until it was in equilibrium.
