> CH: Could that 'confidential special instrument' be the frequency generator? Didn't Rossi bring it out only when he wasn't seeing an 'ignition'. Thanks for posting this. For those who may be wondering what this instrument really is, look at the low current draw. This can point to a high voltage, low current device. Of course, it could also point to a dedicated frequency generator as well, but I doubt seriously if that is what it is. My guess is that the mystery box could be a neon light type of transformer, or else another kind of HV device like a small Tesla coil (air core). As to 'why' high voltage could help with nickel nanopowder, specifically, we are back to the issue of isotope enrichment. I should mention the Barker patents in the context of a particular Nickel isotope - Ni-64. He is an old post on the Barker patents: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg17550.html Here is my take on Ni-64: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg39326.html Ok - the first objection (to my suggestion that what we are seeing is the high-voltage enhanced decay of an unusual isotope) is that Ni-64 is technically a stable isotope, and the element nickel is the second most stable element. But the answer to that objection is that Ni-64 is unlike the other isotopes of nickel, and could be the most unstable of all stable isotopes in the periodic table - in terms of its mass deviation as a percentage of the mass of the most stable isotope of that particular element. Sorry for the confusing wording, but this is not an easy concept to verbalize in a short posting. Second objection - assumed high cost. Many of us have noted, myself included, that despite Rossi having said in the past that he is enriching the nickel powder with a particular (unidentified) isotope - it seemed that the cost of doing this would be excessive. Most enriched isotopes are extremely expensive. Having checked with suppliers, I now stand corrected on that point. As it turns out, Ni-64 enrichment is available at a cost which is not cheap, but is at least a factor of 20 times less than expected ... for whatever reason. This could relate to the source of the nickel. Conclusion: The new advance here, which was apparently instigated by Defkalion and could have been based on the Barker patents - and then picked up by Rossi, is the use of a high voltage low current power supply. This voltage input somehow stimulates the decay of Ni-64, in the way that Barker was able to do with pitchblende (an increased decay rate of 10^6) possibly to Cu-64 which is itself unstable and there could be some kind of see-saw instability. Note: of course this is not standard physics, so yes... if it is accurate or even close to what is happening, then it is "new physics" in two different ways (or more) - but rather close to what is expected of similar isotopes. Nickel is known to favor beta decay for some reason. Obviously, if the device works at all it is "new physics" so the only question for us moving forward to a more complete understanding is: how deep is this rabbit hole....
