Robin,
I like the idea of reacting with clusters but you know my
bias toward a relativistic solution where those clusters see themselves as
normal h2 while from our perspective they appear greatly accelerated and
much smaller -there is the issue of translation, I use the word hesitantly,
TIME- since from our perspective time and space are exchanging parameters
could this affect your calculations? Would a Pythagorean/Gamma translation
help your numerical results? My model would have a shrunken or submerged
layer (cluster) of h2 in a different EQUIVALENT inertial frame (equivalent
acceleration provided by Casimir geometry/suppression) this layer could keep
the equivalent acceleration averaged from rapid changes in Casimir force.
This is the energy source allowing the slower Ni and the relativistic H2
(dihydrino) to attain different EQUIVALENT inertial frames and collide - but
from our perspective some of this collision is occurring on the time axis
instead of our spatial axis.
Regards
Fran

There is still a problem with the Cu formed. One would expect at least some
of
it to be radioactive, and the gammas from these isotopes should still be
easily
detected through 2 cm of lead.
The primary isotope of Ni is Ni-58 which by addition of a proton should
produce
Cu-59 which has a half life of 81 seconds, decaying to Ni-59 via beta+
decay.
These positrons should produce annihilation gammas when interacting with
electrons from the metal. 58% of the 511 keV gammas would get through the 2
cm
lead shielding, and be very readily detected.
However it's also possible that the Hydrino electron that got "sucked in"
immediately reacted with the new copper nucleus to form Ni-59 directly
through
an enhanced electron capture reaction (enhanced because the electron is
already
"on hand", and doesn't need to be captured from the K shell). The problem
with
this is that the reaction to Ni-59 produces 8 MeV, and this energy can't be
converted into electron energy as the electron has already been used so it
would
at first blush seem that only gamma radiation remains (a problem once
again).
As an alternative I would offer the possibility that not single Hydrinos,
but
rather whole molecules or even magnetically bound groups of molecules are
reacting with the Ni. The energy of the reaction could then still be carried
away by a combination of protons and shrunken electrons left over from the
molecule (cluster).
A cluster would also open the way to the following reaction:
Ni-58 + 2H2 => Ni-60 + 2H + 2 neutrinos (or 2 e- + 2 p) + 18.8 MeV leaving
no
radioactive substance.
A reaction producing Cu would be:
Ni-60 + 2H2 => Cu-63 + H (or e- + p) + 2 neutrinos + 23 MeV.
(The simplest cluster is 2 magnetically bound Hydrino molecules; 4 atoms,
hence
2H2).
