It also occurred to me that Nickel has a large magnetostrictive property, so if there's an alternating magnetic field in the reaction chamber, the nickel would be alternately expanding and contracting, so when it's expanded it could absorb some hydrogen, then when it contracts, that's squeezed.
I think the same would happen if the electrostatic potential of the nickel was alternately changed from + to - high voltages. -----Original Message----- From: Horace Heffner [mailto:hheff...@mtaonline.net] Sent: Sunday, October 09, 2011 6:55 PM To: hoyt.stea...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:Ultrasonics & E-CATs On Oct 9, 2011, at 4:13 PM, Hoyt A.

Hoyt Stearns Scottsdale, Arizona US http://HoytStearns.com Interesting idea. Could be. Could also be the RF heats a small thermal mass around the T2 thermocouple. Could also be that a sonic transducer is located close to the T2 thermocouple. Best regards, Horace Heffner http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/
