Re: [Vo]:Speculation on how the E-Cat X works.

If the X cat operates like a vacuum tube, it may be possible to control what it does by applying voltage to various control grids. Heat vs, electricity and voltage vs. current could be controlled by a associated control grid. This tells us something about how the LENR reaction works. If a voltage

RE: [Vo]:Speculation on how the E-Cat X works.

Axil, You seem to be misguided about the possibility of alumina as a thermionic emitter of electrons. Alumina would not work as a glow tube cathode since it is a poor conductor of electrons. Alumina has been used as a component for a ultra-thin oxide coating of metal cathodes, but its

[Vo]:Speculation on how the E-Cat X works.

Speculation on how the E-Cat X works. The E-Cat-X might works as a Hot cathode. Photons produce hot electrons on the surface of the alumina that are emitted from the surface. If a anode is placed on the outside of the cathode to capture the emitted electrons, then this will setup a current flow

Alumina pulls in electrons rather than pushing them out, Is that correct? On Thu, Dec 31, 2015 at 1:54 PM, Jones Beene wrote: > Axil, > > > > You seem to be misguided about the possibility of alumina as a thermionic > emitter of electrons. > > > > Alumina would not work as

From: Axil Axil * Alumina pulls in electrons rather than pushing them out, Is that correct? Technically alumina is a good electrical insulator, as seen in the white ceramic part of a spark plug. Beta-alumina however is different, and can be produced in such a way as to conduct only

Re: [Vo]:Speculation on how the E-Cat X works.

The core is producing the electric power and is acting as the negative cathode and the alumina the anode. Perhaps with a grid between for flow control. A grid between might control the electric vs, heat output. On Thu, Dec 31, 2015 at 3:57 PM, Jones Beene wrote: > *From:*
