I believe that when Rossi talks about using only milligrams of catalyst, he is not making a mistake. The patent contains “a patent of interest section” where a number of these patents address ion production, acceleration, and their direction.
I believe that Rossi is ionizing NiO particles and firing them into the reaction vessel at high speed with the intent of imbedding them into the wall of the stainless steel (SS) vessel. If the exciter is magnetic and/or electrostatic force, the only place that these forces will have effect is on or very near the surface of the SS reaction chamber. The big Cat-E (10 KW) was said to contain only a gram of catalyst. That is too small a volume of catalyst to fill a 1000 cm3 vessel. However, it is sufficient to coat its walls with a rough thick surface layer. A Cat-E totally filled with nanopowder with all of it producing heat cannot pass that internal heat to the wall of the SS vessel very well. Tight nanoparticle packing needed for efficient heat transfer would work against efficient hydrogen flow and vice versa.
