What about the reactor wall as a sheet of nickel or nickel alloy with the surface of the sheet treated to form the type of micro characteristics necessary for this reaction? Is there a way to make the sheet surface look like the powder surfaces?
If so, a pair of sheets could be formed into a long flat tube, welded or crimped along the edges, with H2 pressure applied within. These flat tubes in a auto type radiator like arrangement with the H2 circulating like radiator fluid in them, and the glycol coolant passing over the tubes like air does in an auto radiator. ----- Original Message ----- From: Axil Axil To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2012 1:50 AM Subject: Re: [Vo]:Rossi's Best Chance IMHO, quiescence is caused by deterioration of the micro-powder surface due to inadequate heat control. I speculate that DGT has move the heat producing powder zone to the reactor vessel wall. The powder is mechanically affixed to the reactor vessel wall with excellent heat transfer characteristics. Because of this design change, the temperature of the powder will never exceed the coolant temperature and therefore is "idiot proofed" But in order to get the powder above the Curie temperature of nickel, the coolant must support very high temperature heat transfer in excess of 400C.

Quiescence does not seems to be a problem with DGT according to their talk and (more important) to their test protocol (which does talk about continuous heat). 2012/1/24 Mark Iverson-ZeroPoint <[email protected]> Question: Could the quiescence be something as simple as heat not being extracted fast enough from the Ni-core material and it eventually builds up to begin melting the Ni tubercles, slowly quenching the ‘active area’? If so, then my initial thoughts don’t apply and it is an engineering problem.
