You seem to be describing not deflation but the lowering of the prices of
specific commodities due to price pressure arising from increases in
productivity.

we agree .

my point is only that at least in france, many people mix the reduction of
price with deflation-depression as 1930+.
when Uber or AirBnb,, or Amazon, or google lower the price to access to
service, they say it is deflation and this should be stopped with taxes,
with monopolies and fixed rates.

in fact for French elite, the use of public money and debt is like cocaine
for a rockstar... they want inflation to shave the lender, because unlike
the king of france they cannot burn the Templar, pogrom the Jewish, and
expulse the lombards.

To a lesser degree it seems valid for western elite.
US is simply printing numbers, which serves not to create price inflation,
or to increase useful investments, but to inflate asset bubbles where the
price is virtual.

this is why people have the impression that inequalities grows, but most of
what people like Piketty see as wealth is pure wind.
This is where Hernando De Soto is bashing those Euro/US-centric accountants.

 You seem to be describing not deflation but the lowering of the prices of
 specific commodities due to price pressure arising from increases in
 productivity.  I'm going to hazard a guess that economists don't think of
 this kind of downward price pressure as deflation, especially of the kind
 seen in the Great Depression.  Deflation in that instance was across the
 board.  If you held on to your money, it would be worth even more a week
 later.  There was an incentive to refrain from spending and to keep your
 money in a can under your mattress.

 In a healthy economy, you might want to wait for two or three months to
 purchase that television or stereo system or car, because the price might
 be about to come down; but while you wait your money would become worth a
 little less overall because of a slight amount of inflation.  If you did
 not intend to spend it you would want to put it to some other good use --
 in an investment account or a savings account.

Over on the Rossi blog site, there has recently been a ton of questions
asking Rossi what the E-Cat-X is all about. Rossi is silent on that issue.
He is very protective about his new collections of IP secrets. And yet, he
gave the Lugano crew the Hot cat to play with for a month. To completely
give the Lugano testers all his treasured and hard won IP secrets is
completely out of character. Rossi must have thought that the Hot Cat was a
dead end. Try as he might, Rossi could not get the Hot cat to work, and he
gave up on it. He never intended to give anybody the opportunity and the
Know-how to replicate any of his work. Does a leopard change its spots? But
when Rossi read the Lugano report, he saw something he liked very much, it
was something he did not see in all his own extensive Hot cat experiments.
He was very surprised, and he took advantage of this very good luck as he
has always done. Those new insights that he gleaned from the Lugano report
gave him inspiration to invent the E-Cat-X. The tantalizing question that
we are faced with: what insight did Rossi get from the Lugano report.

Maybe Rossi gave up on the Hot Cat because, try as he might, he could not
get the Hot Cat to work well, So he intended to throw his competitors a
curve by showing them a failed test. He used an old fuel load from one of
his failed Hot cat tests knowing full well that the Hot Cat would not work
to any great extent. But to his surprise, the Lugano crew got the reactor
to work anyway beyond all his wildest expectations.

The previously used fuel loaded in the Lugano test showed no build up of
Ni62, just run of the mill nickel isotopes, but the Lugano run changed the
nickel powder into pure Ni62. We know that Rossi was very surprised by this
strange turn of events. Rossi must have thought to himself, what could have
caused that miracle? How come I could not do this thing and those Lugano
testers could?

Because they did not want to melt the hot cat down, the Lugano crew let the
Hot cat heat for 10 days before they decided to up the temperature. In
those first 10 days the Hot cat was a poor performer. Rossi never had the
patience to run the Hot cat for so long, he did not have the patience to
run such a non productive test for that long. But after those 10 days of
gestation, the Lugano crew increased the power and the heat and the Rossi
reaction took off.

The power produced by the reactor showed a COP of 7 when the power was
increased. Something must have been building up over those 10 days of
moderate heat. LENR has always had a history of running for a long time
before the reaction sets in. The Palladium guys thought ot was caused by
loading hydrogen into palladium, but that was not the case.

Nano-particles were being created slowly until their numbers reached a
critical threshold for the reactor to take off. Without those large 100
micron nickel particles, the nano particle aggregation must be grown large
enough to get the power of the reaction over a critical level. That correct
level is when the aggregation is big enough to establish a positive
feedback loop with the nuclear fusion reactions catalyzed by the
aggregation.

Rossi said to himself, I can just add some of my potassium catalyst to the
lithium aluminum hydride to get the nano particles to form faster. 10 days
is far to long to wait to start up the Hot cat. Then I could turn on the
lithium powder very fast, and I do not need the nickel anymore.

acts magnetically like Fe but has an electronic structure that can have various 
spin states of electrons spaced throughout the superatom’s electronic 
structure.  Such A feature may allow spin coupling with nuclear spin states in 
resonant RF conditions and a B field.

Bob - There are some exceptional recent papers on superatomic nickel as a 
molecular catalyst. It could be a huge breakthrough in LENR if there is a 
cross-connection to its catalytic properties and its ability to densify 
hydrogen. 

 

The structure is intriguing in the context of fractional hydrogen, since both 
Ni and O are Mills catalysts, but – in contrast to normal nickel oxides, there 
could be a major advantage in the superatomic spacing which is completely 
different from the natural oxides. 

 

Surprisingly (since nickel is hexavalent) there are only two main natural 
varieties of nickel oxide: Nickel(II) oxide, NiO, green in color and 
Nickel(III) oxide, Ni2O3, which is black. 

 

Nickel Dioxide, NiO2 is rarer in nature as is the tetroxide NiO4. 
Nickelo-nickelic Oxide is the chemical name of Ni3O4. 

 

I am wondering if one could take Ni2O3 along with nickel powder and grind in 
high speed ball mill for an extended time to arrive at a decent percentage of 
the superatomic version?

 

From: Bob Cook 

 

The superatoms of Ni and O may many have inner shell electrons that are 
captured more easily (electron capture) than happens with regular Ni atoms.  It 
would be nice to know, if the superatoms that are like Pd have the same ability 
to absorb H or D and to confine them in a lattice structure better suited to a 
fusion or other nuclear reaction involving mass energy transition to phonic 
energy.

 

I wonder what the magnetic properties of the superatoms are?

It wasn’t mentioned, but recently Rossi has been claiming to see anomalous heat 
from nickel  - at higher temperature than the melting point of nickel – say in 
the range of 1500 C.

 

If this is found to be true, then it could be evidence of superatomic nickel, 
which has the formula of Ni2O2 – as opposed to NiO or NiO2. Rossi may have 
formed superatomic nickel inadvertently, since he does not mention that this 
was deliberate. In fact he doesn’t mention superatomic at all. Nickel powder is 
known to oxidize in contact with alumina, so in addition to some of it melting 
at 1500C, some of it would oxidize. The superatom thus could from in situ.

 

The reason for the superatom formula being Ni2O2 instead of NiO is in the Wiki 
entry. And it is worth noting that the normal oxide of nickel has a melting 
point which is a whopping 500 degrees C higher than the metal, so this fits the 
circumstances. BTW – the Russians are laying claim to the nickel superatom, as 
well (not sure if Peter mentioned this):

 

http://www.ibtimes.com.au/russian-scientists-discover-new-kind-superatomic-nickel-1450987

 

I cannot find a reference for the m.p. of the nickel superatom, but it is 
probably in the range of 2000C like the other oxides – so yes, Rossi could be 
right for the wrong reason… in that he thinks the catalyst is still only nickel 
which has melted - when instead the active part is the nickel superatom Ni2O2 
which by the way, mimics hafnium.

 

Hafnium has been called a “supercatalyst” but is toxic and extremely expensive. 
It is mentioned in several LENR patents including that of the German mystery 
company PURRATIO AG.
