Also care to comment a little more on the SiC based sealant
in regards to plasmons and the Rossi device? Was it total luck, inspired or
just a natural consequence of the desired properties for hi temp sealants?I hope this chart below shows up. SiC (carborundum) either as a coating, sealant or as a ceramic containment tube has an unusual property for reflecting a narrow IR band of radiation over 10 microns, peaking about 12 microns - which coincidentally is where plasmons/polaritons are most likely to form and is near the operating temperature of the HotCat. It is like a mirror for the narrow spectrum and thus can be used with an electric power input to effectively control a trigger reaction which happens in that spectrum http://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full/2008/20/aa8468-07/img60.gif
