Thanks for sharing your process. Interesting. What is your proposed mechanism for the actual fusion? Do you have a hypothesis? I have done a similar process, but different, with no positive news to report. The process I have tried involved the Mircrowave Sintering of Nickel and Copper

Bob, Thanks for sharing. As you know, but other vortexers might not know, I am following roughly the same path. See also fusioncatalyst.org, if you like to join this crowd science approach. In addition to oxidation/reduction/melting cycles I believe carbon may play a role as it is active in

http://www.e-catworld.com/2012/04/english-translation-of-build-instructions-for-pirelli-athanor-cell/ I would forget about Rossi because there are too many unknowns. I would start with the Pirelli High school reactor because it is open source, completely documented and produces a COP of 4.

This is a Russian Rossi replication using LaNi5 that is generating bursts of X-rays and neutrons. They (Bazhutov and Izmiran http://fireball.izmiran.ru/ ) are looking at the Erzion model of cold nuclear transmutation... Investigation of Thermodynamic and Radiation Effects at Loading Intermetallic

Lanthanum has a low work function which can be lowered even further if oxygen is added. Lanthanum oxide is now used in welding rods to replace thorium because of its low work function(2.5 eV). The powder used in this experiment may be contaminated with oxygen. This might indicate that low work

This paper is deceiving . especially if one is interested in nano Ni-H. and it is not in any relevant way comparable to Rossi. There is NO indication of excess heat, even though they use very heavy deuterium enrichment, which probably supplies all of the radiation seen, and even then it is not
