Bob, all
If Rossi can be believed, he did not use CNT (at least not originally) but instead - his tubules are made of nickel via a proprietary process which adds porosity and surface features. Nickel is ductile and CNT are stiff and 500% stronger than nickel. But CNT is not a spillover catalyst, like nickel. In short the original recipe can probably be improved, and may have been improved already. Given all of the info out there from various sources, it would seem that a superior Ni-H reactor media would be composed of carbon nanotubes on which nickel has been deposited. or preferably a nickel alloy. The Romanowski alloys are far superior to nickel, palladium or anything else as spillover catalysts. The citation is in the archives. From: Bob Cook It sounds like Jones thinks that a combination of CNT's (the hairs) and Ni distributed on their surface some how is what Rossi has used. Jones. Is this what you meant by: " "It would probably be more productive to come at this from the standpoint of adding something to CNT instead of subtracting something from nickel?"
