A quick perusal of Jed's site shows no one seems to have tested Ni/H
stimulation in the sub-megaHertz range. Indeed, I didn't see anything
showing attempts at RF stimulation. Goodness knows that the
wavelength of phonons can certainly exist in this range.
Hey, ecat builder, you wouldn't happen to be a HAM, would you? Or, do
you know one? Look around your neighborhood for some who has a Rohn
25 tower in their backyard with an antenna which surely isn't seeking
DTV.

As long as the Ni temperature is low enough (Curie temperature is 355°
C) it could simply be magnetic near field stimulation doing the job.
Ni is magnetostrictive. For some exciting information google
(magnetostrictive transducers). For more than you ever wanted to
know on designing controllers:

Say, look at Terfenol-D:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terfenol-D
Tb_x Dy_(1-x) Fe_2 (x~=0.3)
Could it be that this could be a better "catalyst" if Ni is
incorporated? Terfenol-D has a Curie Temp of 357°C:

Then there is Galfenol:

The compounds NiTi and NiMnGa are magnetostrictive. NiTi sounds like
a natural for being an LENR material.
It would be interesting to determine the magnetostrictive properties
and Curie temp. of nanoparticles consisting of an iron atom
surrounded by nickel atoms. The Fe atom magnetizes the Ni atoms.
There is a problem noted regarding running magnetostriction above 2
kHz, namely eddy currents. Building the nanoparticles in nanopores
of insulating materials, such as zeolites, should take care of this
problem. There are other potential values for this. I commented on
possible use of nanopores earlier, and the possible useful
relationship to my theory:

Just free associating a bit.
