Examining the web's limited oscillon information, it would appear that it is important that the powder not be bound to the side of the reactor as conjectured by others. The powder must remain free and could be located in the center of the reactor as stated on the ecat.com web site.
In defense of the “particles bound to the side of the reactor conjecture’ made with the greatest respect to your opinion… I don’t yet see a justification that the powder must vibrate. In fact, Rossi has stated that the powder was in the micron range which may be too heavy to be affected by sub-nanometer quantum mechanical vibrations which affect atoms at very low temperatures. Rossi has indicated that his powder is micron sized. It is the tubercle surface coverings on the particles that are nano-sized. Vacuum energy springing forth from any particular point in space, is most probably too feeble to move a micron sized particle into motion. But the particle may need to be as small as those found in cold hydrogen dusty plasma. A dusty plasma contains tiny charged particles of dust (as typically found in space), which also behaves like a plasma. Plasma that contains larger particles is called grain plasma. The information we have about the Rossi reaction points to the formation of exotic hydrogen spices comprised of multiple atoms configured in a number of crystalline forms. It may be these plasma derived dust particles which are the subject to vibrations. Next, the temperatures within the Rossi reactor are above the Curie temperature of nickel which would remove any magnetic property interactions that are mentioned associated with these vibrations. However, Rydberg hydrogen crystals are exquisitely reactive to magnetic influence because of their electromagnetic characteristics. Furthermore, in living systems that have been referenced, nickel is seldom if ever involved, but hydrogen in some form or another are always found. In short, Rydberg hydrogen crystals may be the subject of the oscillon mechanism.
