Jean Pettersson it states: Sample 2 was the fuel used to charge the E-Cat. It’s in the form of a very fine powder. Besides the analyzed elements it has been found that the fuel also contains rather high concentrations of C, Ca, Cl, Fe, Mg, Mn and these are not found in the ash. These chemicals may have been used to slow down the explosive reaction from AlLiH4 to make the reaction more controllable. Both MFMP and the Russian may not have got that far yet. For the hell of it, I would first try MgCl as a moderator of the reaction. Carbon is also known to retard the LENR reaction.
