I am not aware of any paper published by Rossi (apart from his own blog). 
Piantelli published several papers about his research.

Francesco Piantelli's problem is that independent replication attempts failed 
so far. Piantelli described precisely his reactor in his patents, but nobody 
could repeat his results, despite the fact that he uses no secret catalyst.

In 1996, Antonino Zichichi and a group at CERN could not replicate the 
Piantelli experiments. They wrote:

..We have found the results to be consistent with our observations; namely 
we measured higher temperatures for the same input power when hydrogen is 
absorbed during a heating cycle. Nevertheless this temperature rise does not 
appear to correspond to an increase in heat production. We have added a 
temperature sensor to the container of the experiment. The temperature of the 
container follows the same temperature with input power curve irrespective of 
whether there is an anomalous absorption of hydrogen or not; therefore we have 
no evidence that this temperature increase corresponds to another source of 
heat. In conclusion, we have observed all the effects discovered by Focardi 
etnbsp;al., but our results imply that there is no production of power 
associated with the absorption of hydrogen by nickel..

As far as I know, that is correct. I may have overlooked a successful
replication. However, only a few people have tried to replicate, so the
failures do not have much significance. Also, people have observed heat from
other types of nickel systems.

Dear Angela,

I have asked Piantelli's opinion about these independent
replications with negative results, Perhaps there were no adequate
nanostructures on the surfaces of the Ni rods.
The slogan: a patent can be reproduced by those skilled enough is many
times a void formula. You cannot reproduce it, the wxplanation is: you are
not skilled enough! Please pay for know-how and learn the know why- it will
be hard.I am speaking from experience not from what I have read in the
books. Many German firms as BASF, Hoechts, Wacker but Japanese and US too.
You don't buy patemts you buy technologies.

RE: [Vo]:Piantelli news

2011-07-25 Thread Roarty, Francis X
From Akira translation of thread by Roy Virgilio who attended Saturday's LENR 
talk in Viareggio
[snip] Piantelli doesn't use catalysts, at least in the term's literal 
meaning. His technology is based mainly on nickel preparation, i.e. 
powder geometry/size and deposition size (in a multilayered manner). It 
isn't known yet if the nickel he uses is doped/enriched.[/snip]

Akira,
Once again the clues point to size, shape and packing arrangement of 
nano powders leading to the geometry which produces anomalous heat. IMHO normal 
catalytic action is also based on geometry but at the atomic level which is 
wrapped into our understanding of chemistry and the periodic chart... Puthoff's 
atomic model of a balance between vacuum pressure and an atom's zero state is 
being accumulated in a segregated fashion by Casimir geometry such that entire 
regions outside a cavity can have a slightly higher energy density while tiny 
confined [suppressed] areas inside the cavity have a concentrated lower density 
often described as negative that balances the shallow field outside the cavity. 
When you load these quantum fields with hydrogen you have an exotic form of 
relativistic matter because the energy of these gas atoms is not the result of 
spatial velocity or individual chemical interaction but rather is conferred 
upon the hydrogen by the modified vacuum energy density [suppressed environment 
through which it is travelling] - this is similar to the 9.8m/s^2 we feel 
gratis of the earth's mass but negative and without any slow gradients it can 
change as rapidly as the relative motion between the gas and the rigid Casimir 
geometry through which it is migrating. My point is that when Naudts posited 
the hydrino as relativistic it was really the restriction of longer vacuum 
wavelengths gratis of Casimir suppression that made it so and that any matter 
inside the cavity would also appear relativistic due to the negative energy 
density.

Actually Piantelli has at least 15 publications in which he is the main

And his two patents WO 1995/20816 and WO 2010/058288
are very professionally written. (two new patents coming soon)

He had self-sustaining cells years ago. Being a serious scientist he has
explored the anomalous heat effect with many transition metals- many work.
He understand what happens in his cells..
He does not like publicity and what he says is based on solid
experimental facts.And has experience in the industry, therefore will not
put technologically immature products on the...market.

Rossi says his system is not related to Piantelli's- he has to demonstrate
this , combined with the viability and usability
of his generators.

More tidbits:

- The older reactivated cells that are being tested right now show 
small excess heat (2-3 times the input energy), but for new ones it's 
expected about an output of 200 times the input energy.


- According to several third-parties, older cells have been able to work 
in self-sustaining mode for quite some amount of time.


- Experiments are being performed in a lab near Siena. Italian 
institutions are not involved, however a public USA agency will probably 
contribute to the development and certify/validate the reaction.


- There's minimal risk of info leaking from such agency. Anyway, 
everything is now protected by patents (pending). Last week, Piantelli's 
group filed a third patent for the latest technologies to be implemented 
in his devices.


- A gradual scale-up in power is necessary because nobody so far has 
attempted making a big cell. To avoid potential disasters (it's a 
nuclear reaction after all) it's necessary to be able to control it no 
matter what. As for when the scale-up will be ready... when it's done. 
Smaller devices will be sold first.


- The proposed Supporter's trust [1] is to offer people a chance to 
participate to the technology development, but it won't guarantee 
anything. Piantelli's group doesn't *need* money; the aim is to put the

As a parting shot, so to speak - let me chime in with a couple of comments
on Fran's behalf - and others who see cavity-QED as the best answer to
understanding the thermal gain in Ni-H (as opposed to the other proposed
transmutation reactions, including Piantelli, Focardi etc. since they should
exhibit strong residual radioactivity, which is not seen in any data). 

The finding of high speed protons in a cloud chamber - even if their
mass-energy on average is less than the several MeV claimed - is most
consistent with a quark-based hypothesis for explaining the gain. This is
not nuclear, per se, but instead is subnuclear. 

The hypothesis does involve the conversion of nuclear mass into energy. And
it is dependent of cavity-QED as the initial driving force. 

This hypothesis is an outgrowth and enhancement of Nyman's modeling of quark
interaction, together with the assumption of having IRH - Inverted Rydberg
hydrogen - being formed continuously in the reactor from hydrogen spillover,
collecting in cavities and other details which have the effect of putting
protons into close proximity - within occasional strong force attraction.

http://dipole.se/

In this paper,  simulations made with two different kinds of physics
software both show the following:
 
1.  Two protons placed closely together will repel each other most of the
time.
2.  Two protons shot at each other will bounce off and repel each other most
of the time.
3.  However, it is occasionally possible to shoot two protons at each other
with the right speed and *quark alignment* so that they latch onto each
other instead of repel... 

IOW quark placement can overcome Coulomb repulsion, in standard physics. No
magic, or new physics, required (so far).

This is where Nyman fails to make the right conclusion. He opines the
protons will fuse, which is impossible in these conditions. However, the net
reaction which is instigated by strong force attraction will still be
gainful; and the driving force must be depletion of nuclear mass (by
default). However, this reaction does not result in either fusion or
transmutation normally. It does result in fast protons and on occasion these
may cause secondary reactions, but net gain is there without anything else.

This suggestion is an alternative to the P-e-P reaction where no deflated or
other improbable kind of electron is involved, and in the end NO fusion
occurs. Two protons in this circumstance would have severe negative binding
energy, so several things could happen, besides fusion. 

This is where Nyman falls short - since all we need to know to explain the
net gain without nuclear transmutation is that strong force attraction
happens (which essentially the free ingredient) followed by some kind of
energetic expulsion. 

Net nuclear mass of the reacting protons is slightly depleted by the
extracted energy (from gluons pions, etc) and this depletion will be
recovered from the zero point field eventually, in order to maintain an
expected average mass value of ~ 938.272013 MeV which can vary
significantly in individual atoms.

As to the simulation's observation of occasionally possible to shoot two
protons at each other with the right speed and quark positions that rings
of the importance of cavity-QED.

This is where protons emerge from Casimir cavities with the right speed
having experienced the Scharnhorst-type acceleration. IOW, building on this
mechanism, even when deuterium is not seen in the ash of the reaction, there
is a clear route to strong subnuclear gain via proton acceleration away
from another superimposed proton - with which it CANNOT fuse. 

... but, needless to say, the complete details are not clear.

Jones,
Thanks for the support, I agree with many of your suggestions for 
non-nuclear and sub nuclear reactions.  My only goal is to have mainstream 
re-consider a relativistic interpretation of Casimir effect where longer 
wavelengths are actually subject to Lorentzian contraction not displaced,  
which would explain the initiating environment in a manner not violating COE 
for gas atoms migrating through changes in Casimir force. It creates an 
environment where HUP can be tapped in numerous ways like DCE separating 
virtual particle pairs or the endlessly reversed chemical reactions posited for 
MAHG, or the quark rearrangements such as you mention as well as many others. 
The hydrogen  orbital in a Casimir cavity would appear from our perspective 
outside the cavity to shrink away while the nucleus dilates away from it on the 
time axis. http://byzipp.com/coffee3.gif  while remaining unchanged to a local
