The SWNT rug part 1 Fabrication of the ideal charge delivery nanostructure for LENR may be beyond the capabilities and limited resources of the lone Ni/H reactor developer. This may be why Rossi has greatly benefited from collaboration with advanced technology partners who can design and implement advanced SWNT structures that are optimized for LENR.
To get the most out of LENR, charge must be evenly spread over the entire surface area of the nickel nanoparticles, as large as that area may be. Most publically available LENR mechanisms currently found in LENR research suffer from a poor distribution of nuclear active sites. The energy production of these areas is limited in number. Furthermore, the distribution of the nuclear active sites (NAS) is random and poorly placed. This all leads to a proportionately small productivity of the Ni/H reaction. But if properly configured,* *nanomaterial is a powerful multiplier of the LENR effect in inverse proportion to its dimensionality. For example, if you want to properly water a corn field to get optimum crop yield, we do not want to pump all the irrigation water into a big hole in a corner at the edge of the field and hope for the best. A water distribution system; a sprinkler or drip system must be engineered to get water to each corn plant at optimum levels. Like water dumped into a hole, A spark can only be delivered to a small volume of material in a localize area. The reaction, if any, will be limited by the restrictions of this localized charge distribution strategy. To increase the power of the LENR reaction, the number of NASs must be dramatically increased. The spark should be optimally partitioned and spread out over the widest area, in the same way that nano-particles multiply the surface area of its bulk material. So charge distribution and nanoparticle area should be properly mated through an optimal connection. If this relationship between charge presentation and the associated nanoparticle is optimize, a large amount of power can be produced by a small amount of Nano-powder. As improbable as Rossi’s claim may now sound …those one and a half grams of Nano nickel powder can generate 10 kilowatts of power… This amazing claim may be possible if every nano particle grain is pressed into service in an optimal way. In my next post, I intend to reference a paper recently commissioned by the US Defense Department (DOD) to explain why a SWNT rug can get charge to nickel Nano powder is the best way. This explanation will act as a narrative for a specification of a charge distribution system for LENR. Cheers: Axil * *
