That would depend on his motivation and understanding He may have already rewritten his patents or has realized that there is a lot of other patent applications in the system. For example I know that I have a patent in using Ni , H, mixed with refractory oxides/silicates and using methods to create hydrogen fluxes through the system that has been floating around the US PTO for about 2 years now....... I am fairly sure that there are at least 2 others about in the same situation.
But I do think that making a 100 small units to reach 1MW is a bit misguided. Much better to get out a half a dozen and put them in hands of others to verify. .... I will be surprised if he meets his Sept. target. But it is his baby and he needs to do what he thinks is best for him. I found it interesting that he is just using about 100 g in his system. My guess is that he has about 2 kg of a stable oxide or silicate in there with the Ni. I know that I typically use about 2 % metal when mixing with Zirconium oxide (Cotronics ceramic mix) and using gas and thermal gradients, and about 15-20 % when I try to use electric currents through the sample. So his system is beginning to be a little more understandable. I just could not see how he could use 1 liters of Ni powder. The thing I do not understand is that I would have expect people to notice a pulse of noise from a gas pressure switching system. I wonder if he can do it without a non-static H2 pressure. I can't do that..... I have to have some dynamic condition. But then again, he might be doing something inside to cause a dynamic condition.

It would be like try to stop the Niagara Falls with an umbrella." Since he realizes that, I think he should concentrate on getting a patent, and he should put aside the 1 MW reactor plan for now. - Jed
