* The heating value of H2 is 130 kJ/g which is equal to .04 kWhr. This seems to work out to the Rossi reactor being about 65 time more than chemical. A nuclear reaction should be about one million times more energetic, and a Millsean reaction should be about 200 times. > JR: The Rossi cell did not peter out in this test. Neither does Mills' devices - but Rossi should know after these many months of testing and thousands of reactors, the average consumption within a close range, and even if it leaks out twice as much as it consumes - based on that and the newer tested output - then this device appears to be absolutely consistent with Mills' theory and the BLP prior results. In fact a leakage rate in that range puts it spot-on to Mills. Add in the V&B finding of zero gammas, and there is no doubt in my mind that this device is based, wittingly or unwittingly, to some significant degree on Mills' CQM theory (not the patents however). The bad news for Mills is that he appears not to have covered the simple gas-phase device in prior art IP, but the Thermacore gas-phase reactor, done for Wright AFB under DARPA contract 18 years ago - did use Ni-H gas phase with potassium catalyst. So the only thing left for Rossi to patent a different catalyst. Did he do that adequately? We will not know until the new application (WIPO) comes out (soon) but the good news for the rest of the World is that this device is probably open to development by any and every entrepreneur with imagination and a Home Depot account :-) Jones
