As Robin points out. (From the Rossi Patent)
http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/RossiAmethodandaa.pdf >[0037] For clearly understanding the following detailed >discussion of the apparatus, it is necessary to at first consider >that for allowing nickel to be transformed into stable copper, >it is necessary to respect the quantic laws. Accordingly, it is >indispensable to use, for the above mentioned exothermal >reactions, a nickel isotope having a mass number of 62, to >allow it to transform into a stable copper isotope 62. All the >other Ni isotopes, on the other hand, will generate unstable >Cu, and, accordingly, a beta decay. >From Wikipedia's knowledge base on Nickel & Copper isotopes: Nickel isotopes: ------------------------------------------------ 58Ni 68.077% 58Ni is stable with 30 neutrons 59Ni trace 76000 y e - 59Co 60Ni 26.223% 60Ni is stable with 32 neutrons 61Ni 1.14% 61Ni is stable with 33 neutrons 62Ni 3.634% 62Ni is stable with 34 neutrons 63Ni syn 100.1 y ß- 0.0669 63Cu 64Ni 0.926% 64Ni is stable with 36 neutrons Copper isotopes: ------------------------------------------------ 63Cu 69.15% 63Cu is stable with 34 neutrons 65Cu 30.85% 65Cu is stable with 36 neutrons ************************************************* There is no stable 62Cu. I would assume that allowing erroneous explanations of such magnitude to be submitted as part of a patent would quickly invalidate it. How could anyone in the PO take the document seriously. Such apparent ignorance seems to suggest, at least to me, that something else is responsible for generating all the mysterious exothermic heat. That certainly is the 64 trillion dollar question.
