To all concerned, or to anyone harboring lingering doubts about the Bologna demo .
There is a surprising simple and extremely convincing way to *remove all doubt* that this device is real. It is so simple that the simple fact that it has not been published yet, is suspicious in itself. (there has been one claim that a test was performed, but not data). Rossi has stated that another long-running device, which was in operation for 6 months continuous, was analyzed and a large percentage of nickel was transmuted to copper. Even if it was less than 30%, it was a lot. This is the key. Based on other disclosures - the amount of transmuted copper recovered from this sample should be in excess of 30 grams and could be as much as a 300 grams. Even without the copper, the nickel from this reactor will have had an isotope shift, so this spent fuel is another key to instant credibility. It can be tested as mixed and there is no need to separate the two metals. In other words, there is no shortage of evidence - either the copper - the ash of the reaction, or the nickel . but the copper is preferable, even in a mixed sample. If he claims the entire sample has been lost, he will lose all credibility in my book. ALL. No one loses such a sample. He is essentially dead in the water, in the eyes of 99% of Physics, if this sample is unaccounted for now. Copper has two isotopes: 63Cu is almost ~69% of the natural ratio. 65Cu is ~31%. That never varies - no matter where the copper came from - Arizona or Chile or Asia. A one gram sample is more than adequate to test - therefore 10 samples sent to 10 labs for isotope analysis should put all doubts to rest, if the ratio varies significantly. With the nickel, the sample should be depleted in 64Ni. There is no rational argument that can account for a ratio which comes from a long standing nuclear reaction being identical to the natural ratio - and if it is identical, then all the copper came from "migration" from other parts of the device, which is to be expected. Rossi never mentions migration but surely is aware of it. My plea to Ing. Andrea Rossi is to sent samples out soon for testing by University or National Labs. A list can be provided. It is time to put these skeptics of LENR down hard, and you can do that dramatically and very easily, in short order and with minimal effort. They have it coming. You d'man, Andre. show'm your stuff.
