*No the input heat is insufficient to cause ionization.* FYI
A *thermionic converter* consists of a hot electrode which thermionically emits electrons over a potential energy barrier to a cooler electrode, producing a useful electric power output. Caesium vapor is used to optimize the electrode work functions and provide an ion supply (by surface contact ionization or electron impact ionization in a plasma) to neutralize the electron space charge. **** *There is no evidence of degenerate electrons in LENR. * ** Rossi reports that his reactor produces so much current(electrons) that he may now forget about the production of heat. Excess electrons will be degenerate because of the pauli exclusion principle. I have to conclude that you do not understand even the basics of ionization.(said with affection and respect). * *On Sat, Jan 12, 2013 at 3:44 PM, Jones Beene <[email protected]> wrote: > No the input heat is insufficient to cause ionization.
