Use of K carbonate with Ni for generation of excess heat: You might want to check the work of Thermocore circa 1994 and the NASA replication (Tech Memorandum 107167). I would doubt that its use with Ni for heat production via hydrogen "reactions" could be patentable today. It , as the use of other alkaline materials, is well known to those skilled in the art. i.e. those that actually are working with physical items within the field. D2
From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2013 11:29:51 +0200 Subject: [Vo]:Potassium Carbonate Likely this has been discussed on list before, but here goes: Concerning his recent patent update, Andrea Rossi apparently removed claims to the catalyst (re: the Cat in E-Cat) and it was suggested that this might have to do with prior use of his secret ingredient (i.e., perhaps he borrowed the recipe from elsewhere or inadvertently rediscovered it). I just noticed that anomalous heat production from Potassium Carbonate in combination with atomic hydrogen and nickel is mentioned in this unclassified 1994 military report: http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/GernertNnascenthyd.pdf(the authors, incidentally, seem to be those today linked with BlackLight Power) Moreover, purportedly leaked notes from a 2012 Defkalion visit again mention Potassium Carbonate: http://ecatnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Summary-of-Visit-to-Defkalion.pdf So is Potassium Carbonate used in the Rossi/Defkalion devices? And is powdering nickel sufficiently innovative to be protected by a Rossi patent? Would the Potassium Carbonate/Nickel/Hydrogen combination for energy production be under patent somewhere else or is it in the public domain? Charles
