Fran, do you realize how strange this explanation sounds? The H has to
climb over a Coulomb barrier having a charge of 28. We know how hard
getting over a change of 1 is, so how is this barrier overcome so
easily? Second, each Ni nucleus in the sea of Ni would have to
experience the role of the so called catalyst. This magic catalyst
would have to move from Ni to Ni as each was converted to Cu because
apparently the magic catalyst is not able to add H to copper or
apparently to any thing else. Each small particle of Ni would have to
contain the magic catalyst and a large fraction of the Ni would have
to be converted to Cu in order to account for the energy being
claimed. Common sense is violated! Can people please consider the
obvious and necessary consequences before applying pure imagination?
In addition, we have no evidence that Cu is produced. Rossi even has
withdrawn this claim.

I think Arto is very close if not exactly on target with this theory
for the ecat.. IMHO he defines the fractional hydrogen as neutral
wrt the Ni atom where I would say they are relativistic and held
this way by the bulk of loaded gas occupying the unrelativistic
space that prevents the fractional hydrogen from translating back to
normal as the suppressing geometry is left behind via random
motion ..this pressure then discounts the barrier and allows the
dilated atom to slip “behind” the Ni atom on temporal coordinate
and may be why this effect requires heavy loading such that the
fractional atom doesn’t have opportunity to slip back into normal
ground state anywhere in the surrounding region… accumulating
hydrinos that are denied the opportunity to return to normal after
having left the geometry that caused their condition.
