Notice 3000 mesh carbon is typically 5 microns, however it can have pore sizes to contain metals at around 9 nm. 3000 mesh is about the finest you normally come across for such things. It is what I tend to use. (note lambda around 580) I think there is a trade off between nano scale metal and IR reception/transmission. I also think that there must be on the order of 10EE6 to receive the Mev energy and "spread it around" to avoid destruction of the chemical bonding (order of few ev's) Dennis Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2013 18:46:52 -0400 Subject: Re: [Vo]:NiH NAE Synopsis?

In physics, Planck's law describes the amount of energy emitted by a black body in radiation of a certain wavelength (i.e. the spectral radiance of a black body). The law is named after Max Planck, who originally proposed it in 1900. The law was the first to accurately describe black body radiation, and resolved the ultraviolet catastrophe. It is a pioneer result of modern physics and quantum theory. For a given black body temperature, the wavelength at the peak of the Planck curve is called maximum lambda. This value gives a fell for the minimum relative size that an radiating object must be to optimally support photons associated with a give temperature. Like and antenna, a particle of nickel will best support the photons at a given temperature if the particle size is the adjusted to the ideal size. For a temperature of 700k or about 400C, the Lambda(max) must be 4.14 microns. This is why Rossi uses very large micro sized nickel particles in his reactor. Nano sized particles will not properly support the ideal photon wavelength needed to force protons into quantum mechanical coherence. Rossi undoubtedly found this optimal size through trial and error but science is easier. For a Planck function Infrared Radiance Calculator see the following: https://www.sensiac.org/external/resources/calculators/infrared_radiance_calculator.jsf%3bjsessionid=D08873244D6904EE654DBCDF0391F95E 137C = 410.15 Kelvins. Putting this number into the temperature field of the calculator, we get a resonance particle size of 7.07 um. If the raw particle size is 5 um, if we add a nanowire cover with wires about 1 micron in length, then we are at the blackbody resonance particle size. This is the maximum size of all the nickel micro powder. As the temperature of the nickel powder increases, the smaller particles will reach blackbody resonance. To start the Ni/H reactor up, we need some very big micro powder to get it going. PS: I will bet you that a Ni/H reactor that contains only Nano powder will not work well.
