Axil, you make assumptions that are not in evidence. First, what
actually melted is not known. The source of heat must remain solid
because otherwise the NAE would be destroyed. We know the nuclear
reaction requires a special condition in a solid. Second, why suggest
a secondary reaction in H2 when the density of the gas would not
support such a production rate. What nuclear reaction do you think can
occur in H2 at 1 atm? Third, why assume the effect is caused by a BEC?
NO evidence supports this claim.
It is easy to make up explanations. Anyone can do this, but what is
the point when the descriptions have no obvious relationship to reality.

This meltdown condition is revealing. When you take a process to its
extreme, its nature is revealed in a truer light. It is
unreasonable to believe that the power to meltdown the reactor came
from only 3 grams of nickel powder.
The heat produced by the runaway was isothermal throughout the
volume of the reactor. This implies that the entire hydrogen
envelope supported the reaction. The reaction must have had to moved
away from the nickel powder which would have already been melted to
a secondary reaction mechanism that must have been be supported
exclusively in the hydrogen gas.
In this secondary reaction mechanism is where the real power density
in LENR will be found. If this type of reaction can be controlled, a
2000C reaction can be very useful in process heat production like
steel making, concrete production, and glass making.
Also the BEC temperature range is higher than I through possible. If
the BEC had broken down, Rossi and his crew would have been bathed
in radiation.
BEC would also support superfluidic heat distribution throughout the
volume of the reaction chamber.
The explosion at the end of the meltdown might have been the
release of the compressed hydrogen gas when the material holding
that gas under pressure failed.

Sorry about that; I accidentally pressed "send" when I didn't mean to.

The team of Prof. has been increased.
I cannot give more information about this issue.

And on self-destruct --- 1MW in 10 seconds !!!!!

Dr. Rossi,
When you say that reactors “explode” when out of control, do you
mean they actually produce a loud noise? Or do they merely
destructively over-heat? (As apparently happened to a HotCat in this
photograph during the prior validation test:)

James Bowery:
Very sorry, I cannot answer to this question exhaustively, but I can
say something. Obviously, the experiments are made with total
respect of the safety of my team and myself. During the destructive
tests we arrived to reach temperatures in the range of 2,000 Celsius
degrees, when the “mouse” excited too much the E-Cat, and it is gone
out of control, in the sense that we have not been able to stop the
raise of the temperature ( we arrived on purpose to that level,
because we wanted to study this kind of situation). A nuclear
Physicist, analysing the registration of the data, has calculated
that the increase of temperature ( from 1 000 Celsius to 2,000
Celsius in about 10 seconds), considering the surface that has
increased of such temperature, has implied a power of 1 MW, while
the Mouse had a mean power of 1.3 kW. Look at the photo you have
given the link of, and imagine that the cylinder was cherry red,
then in 10 seconds all the cylinder became white-blue, starting from
the white dot you see in the photo ( after 1 second) becoming
totally white-blue in the following 9 seconds, and then an explosion
and the ceramic inside ( which is a ceramic that melts at 2,000
Celsius) turned into a red, brilliant stone, like a ruby. When we
opened the reactor, part of the AISI 310 ss steel was not molten,
but sublimated and recondensed in form of microscopic drops of steel.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
