“I do not think it should be called a cathode, since there is no anode as far as I know.”
It is this internal heater that forms the H- ions (like a cathode) needed to make the Rossi reaction function so productively. This internal heater acts as a spill over catalyst to create H- ions. Rossi calls this his secret catalyst. Also, this is why you cannot find any traces of the secret catalyst element(s) in the ash product of the reaction. The internal heater acts at a distance and does not come in contact with the catalyst on the wall of the reaction vessel. On Sat, Apr 30, 2011 at 2:22 PM, Axil Axil <[email protected]> wrote: > "Ah.
