Interesting paper Lou.
This is giving me some more to chew on. Might it be possible that Rossi is
processing his Nickel powder with the expressed goal of creating
Quasi-One-Dimensional Nickel tubules. These nanosized diameter Nickel
nanocylinders would act as charge accumulators. Could it be that Rossi's
process is simply charge accumulation on metallic Nickel nanocylinders? I
believe Axil also said something to this effect.
How does one process to create nickel nanosized nanocylinder tubules?
Regarding the mixture of Semiconducting and Metallic SWNTs, I believe the
charge accumulation and coherent electrons would only be enhanced in
Metallic SWNTs. Only the Metallic/Armchair variant of SWNT exhibit "long
Coherence Lengths". The semiconducting variants of SWNT like ZigZag and
Chiral types do not exhibit "long Coherence Lengths".
If Axil's theory is correct, Metallic SWNTs are the key to easily providing
an abundance of NAE. Ed Storms believes that Cracks and Carbon Nanotubes
are perfect candidates for the NAE. Cracks can not be manufactured on
demand, however Metallic SWNTs can be.
If a process can be found to manufacture large amounts of Metallic SWNTs,
increasing the power output density of an LENR Reactor would simply be a
matter of controlling the production rate of Metallic SWNTs in conjunction
with modulating the spark rate to control the amount of charge accumulation
on these Metallic SWNTs. Nothing could be simplier (simplier than other
methods.)
I will modify my design again to test these ideas.

Jojo,
I believe in both metal nanowires and carbon SWNTs, current density is
directly related to radius^2 - Refer to equation(1), page 1 of -
"Stability of Metal Nanowires at Ultrahigh Current Densities"
http://arxiv.org/pdf/cond-mat/0411058v3.pdf
Perhaps densely packed vertically aligned arrays of metal nanowires and/or
metallic carbon SWNTs are also worth a look. They could support extremely
large currents and generate very strong fields. I'm not sure, but I think
some metals can crystallize this way.
Might the ratio of semiconductor/metallic carbon SWNTs be more important
than absolute purity?

the Metallic SWNTs from the Semiconducting SWNT varieties.
I've found many papers discussing production of SWNTs as opposed to
MWNTs,
but I found only 2 papers discussing the Selective Production of
"Metallic" SWNTs. They're both from the same author and it was a very
short paper and he does not really discuss how to do it in detail. Do
you
know of any papers discussing the selective production of Metallic SWNTs?
I think this is the key in increasing the power density of LENR.
With respect to "the smaller SWNTs the better". In your understanding,
why would a smaller (diameter?) SWNT be better than one which is slightly
bigger. Any quantum mechanical reason that you can explain?
Can you direct me to any papers discussing Charge accumulation in SWNTs?

I found about 1000 patents using the compound keywords.. Metallic AND
SWNT
On Google patents, use the "Download PDF" button to see the complete

This looked good to me on a quick scan of the material.

Just thinking out loud here, but do you think the size of the Fe or Ni
nanopowders used as catalyst seed material might influence the creation
of Armchair SWNTs.
I think this is true and the smaller the particle, the m
