If the energy released per reaction is great enough they may not need positive feedback within the fuel itself. Indications are that this reaction should be capable of greater than unity by including a source of protons within a second loop that is powered by the energy of the reactions directly.
I suppose that we can consider the entire system positive feedback as being the most important. I have seen other systems that consist of complex components that engage in an overall oscillation due to positive feedback even though each piece is stable alone. One example that immediately comes to mind is the howling generated by a sound system within an auditorium. The audio amplifiers are stable alone as are the speakers and microphone. The overall system can become quite unstable as everyone has seen before. If I had the choice, I would prefer a system that had no feedback other than through an external pathway. It should be easier to control with that configuration. If these guys have actually achieved that goal they have interesting potential and I want to hear more about their system.

Brad, It is possible that this is already being done --inadvertently-- in the experiments of Rossi and Parkhomov, etc - just as it could have been done inadvertently in 1989 in the P&F experiments. But there are proactive ways to enhance proton acceleration without recourse to a small accelerator. Since UV or soft x-rays are in this range of energy (200 eV) - one way is via hydrogen ground state redundancy. This assumes that the f/H interacts with nickel and is accelerated by the UV photons. Another simple way is via the Boltzmann tail of Maxwell's energy distribution at 1200C - which would possibly be extended by some means including ZPE or a strong magnetic field. Another way is via an alpha emitter. This last way is the easiest to pull off. I discussed the Lipinski patent with Brian Ahern, just now -- who has not had any success with his Parkhomov replication. As a result, he will add thoria into his mix of nickel and lithium, to see if that helps. Thoria is an alpha emitter which could function to accelerate adjacent protons ... and even with a low rate of decay, there could be synergy which arises - so it is worth a trial. Jones ... there are at least two experiments referenced in the patent-- one calculated heat at 142 W [0254], the other [0082] said 16kw was produced... for 72 hours . That much excess energy can't be just calculated and ignored-- their reservoir [0158] of cooling water they mention would get hot fast--and I only glimpsed a five gallon bucket in the pictures that 'might' have been for cooling. (A big 240 VAC spa heater draws ~10kW.).... BTW, some of the other patents are interesting-- Lipinski talks of direct DC generation, a gravity thrust engine, and more... - Brad
