Axil, Apparently you failed to read or understand Peters comment.
ONCE AGAIN, IRON OXIDE IS REDUCED IN HOT HYDROGEN. It is that simple. There is no Fe2O3 at least not in pressurized hydrogen at this temperature. There can be metallic iron present, and yes, Fe was seen in the Swedish report. There are other oxides which can be stable to varying degrees in this reactor, but not iron. Zirconium oxide is stable in hot hydrogen - and Zr is seen in the spectrographs of the patent application. It is possible that metallic iron, deposited on zirconia would function in the way you are imagining, and will be catalytic, but this calls for experimental proof or at least some indication from the literature that it can work this way. You may or may not be aware that two oxygen atoms can function together as a Mills catalyst, and that iron also is a Mills catalyst - and that would make this finding of iron very relevant to our understanding. That is why I have mentioned above that metallic iron, deposited on zirconia could function in an active way, by temporarily borrowing oxygen from zirconia (very short time frame) - and thus will be catalytic in a transitory way that would be highly temperature dependent. Surface effects and interfaces are extremely important in catalysis. Why would magnetism be important? It could be, but if so, then why doesnt Rossi add an external solenoid? Long before iron reaches its Curie point, the field is strongly attenuated. Please build a prima facie case for this kind of thing before jumping to irrelevant conclusions. The bogosity level of some of these comments is reaching an extreme We simply cannot ignore 200 years of physics in order to convert this inventor into some kind of messiah figure. Sure physics is incomplete, and understanding this device will involve new physics, but please try to keep the probability levels for that manageable by ditching the nonsense about natural isotopes deriving from a LENR process. That is beyond bogus. Jones From: Axil Axil [ Subject: [Vo]:The mechanism behind the fail safe nature of the Rossi process. The mechanism behind the fail safe nature of the Rossi process. I believe that the magnetic property of Fe2O3 in a key part of the Rossi process and is the way that the Rossi process achieves failsafe operation. . When the temperature of the catalyst get to about 577C (the Néel <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%A9el_temperature> point) the Fe2O3 nano-particle loses its magnetic organization and the nuclear heat production slows. The Rossi will tend to reach a temperature equilibrium at about 600C more or less and avoid a run away meltdown .
