So we need something that ionizises or atomizes the hydrogen molecules, and something that is very unusual for hydride systems. If the Rossi reaction turns out to be centered on highly excited hydrogen atoms... The bumpy surface of a nickel lattice will “field-ionized” the Rydberg atoms in a hi

Hi, Could it be that Rossi uses a Cobalt60 gamma source as catalyzer? Cobalt 60 decays to Nickel60 and emits gamma rays. The gamma spectrum could be just the right spectrum and energy to excite the Nickel nucleus. Maybe it is mainly the Cobalt60 that needs screening and not the reactor? This wo
