Jones-- Back on April 21 I commented:
“Could impurities in the Ti or Ni FCC structure create a bigger 5 atom hole with a greater transition energy, particularly as changes from alpha to beta phases occur? The correct impurities may allow for a higher reaction temperature for the LENR to go in SS mode. Excess energy from phase transition of the coherent system may be all it takes to induce LENR reactions involving nuclide changes and excess energy. In spite of “Coulomb Barriers”, the system may want to reach a more stable state with lower kinetic energy per nucleon and proceed to accomplish this goal. “ As suggested above, there may be a nuclear source of energy to feed the phase transitions associated with the Ti addition.

From: Jack Cole Maybe Rossi has finally found something that will work (e.g., using a method similar to Andrew Hrischanovich with titanium). This is interesting work from Ukraine/Russia. One of the claims, according to Alan Smith who translated the documents - is that they have a system where the adsorption / desorption of hydrogen by titanium is exothermic in both directions. That is huge – if true, since it gets us away from the potential problem of inviting scrutiny from the NRC. IOW - this is not LENR and probably not related to Parkhomov. What is most interesting is that it operates like asymmetric phase change, since the volume of material changes at the subnanometer level, and phase change is known to be very energetic is certain circumstances. The precise mechanism for gain could be another instance of DCE – or the Dynamical Casimir Effect – which is a proved phenomenon but heretofore was not very robust and only involved light emission. And we can see why such a system which is cycling around what are operative phase-changes -- would benefit from on/off cycling of the power supply… which… come to think of it… makes the details even more interesting to anyone using TiH2 in an experiment…
