Hi Dennis,
I like the idea that NI 62 might be the source of energy,
initially I balked at selection of an isotope with the highest binding energy
thinking the best candidate should exhibit the weakest binding energy and
therefore be more susceptible to an "induced" form of decay provided by the
cavity, This idea of causing an unnatural mixture of isotopes with excess
binding energy and then mixing them in the NAE / catalyst may be a way to
rapidly accelerate reactions and aging of, and between the isotopes. - I would
like to read over your theory if you have a link.
Regards
Fran

The LENR reaction is driven by geometry not material.
The high school reactor uses tungsten without isotope separation. The key to
the process is to use micro and nanoparticles is a wide range of sizes to
support dark mode EMF amplification.
Additional theory is available upon request.

yes Ni62 has the lowest binding energy/nuc.
Fe 56 has the lowest mass per nuc. (due to p n masses).
if some isotope of Fe or other material can be found to be active, there is a
chance that alloys with some isotope of Fe and something that is permeable to
p's might be useful.
My guess right now is that perhaps Ni 62 is the energy out and that the other
isotopes of Ni might be "sucking" up some of the energy.

PS I am presently using La Ni 5 alloys. But perhaps a Fe Ti alloy might be
worth a try.

Ni-62
If we assume that speculation about Rossi is correct, what materials other than
Ni-62 could be used?
If it is p + X reaction, what other isotopes other than Ni62 could be used?
Or perhaps it is really a p+p reaction with Ni-62 donating something???
Anyone have any suggestions?
This is an important point - is there a substitute for Ni-62?
The best way to approach the subject is to look at the isotope and ask - is
there anything which is unique about this species? Then, if the answer is "yes"
we must ask - how does the unique property materialize in the gainful reaction?
As to the first part - yes - Ni-62 is a singularity in the periodic table,
being the one isotope with the highest binding energy per nucleon of all known
nuclides (~8.8 MeV per) ... and yet here it is being identified as active for
the anomalous energy Rossi claims to have found with hydrogen.
On the one hand, if there is true gain in this device primarily due to
properties of this isotope - being a singularity could be an important clue.
OTOH it is most surprising that the physical property for which it derives its
uniqueness - is the opposite of what one logically expects in the situation.
That property, which is "highest binding energy" means the isotope is the most
stable. What is the next most stable? That would be an iron isotope, but iron
could have chemical properties which interfere with the nuclear reaction
As for Part-2 of the inquiry... which is "why" ... this has been addressed
piecemeal in prior postings, and I will collect these, with revisions, in
another posting.
