But Robin, how about the 2nd half of that excerpt, where the optimal
grain-size is more than a
micrometer, not nanometers... I would think that a 'tubercle', which is
likely composed of numerous
'grains', would be larger than its constituent parts (i.e. a grain)!
"Rossi tells that he worked every waking hour for six months straight,
trying dozens of combinations
to find the optimal powder size for the Energy Catalyzer, or E-Cat. He
further stresses that
specific data about the final optimal grain size cannot be revealed, but
can tell us that the most
efficient grain size is more in the micrometer range rather than the
nanometer range."

Hi,
[snip]
The tubercles are essential in order for the reaction rate to reach
levels high enough for the implied total power output per volume or
mass to reach orders of magnitude kW/kg - this level of power density is
required for any useful
application of the process.
When the guy is the States published his story on Hydrogen sensors using
tubules of Ti2O, I wrote to
him and pointed out that 22+ nm matched the wavelength of the second
harmonic of the ground state of
H. I.e. a photon with a wavelength of
45 nm is a match for a 27.2 eV Mills energy hole, and a wavelength of 22+
nm is a match for a 54.4
eV energy hole.
What's the bet that Rossi is creating tubules with close to the correct
dimensions (i.e. 45 nm, or a
fraction thereof e.g. 1/2, 1/3 etc.).
At ~200eV per H, I would guess about 1/4 i.e. 10-11 nm.
