[Vo]:A large volume may be important in the Rossi experiment

Dennis Cravens and I think that one of the reasons the Rossi experiment works well is because he uses a large volume of material. We think the effect might increase exponentially with with increased surface area. This may be one of the secrets, which is sitting in plain view. In his blog, Rossi

We think this mainly because 1 L of powder self-heats and there are large heat gradients and flux. You might be able to accomplish the same thing with a smaller sample and the clever use of resistance heaters. I assume the array of heaters connected to Rossi's control box is producing some sort

I like this larger volume enhancement idea from a ZPE/suppression perspective. If you are dealing with small volumes / thin dimensions then the suppressed/condensed gas has a smaller migration zone before it escapes the suppression of the lattice. I am convinced that the suppression in the
