Hi,
Good work Robin!

However, would you not agree with me that this reaction, however desirable,
is unlikely due to VB finding zero gammas?

Jones

Little less likely than a n-B10 reaction.
It has the additional benefit that Hydrinos (and their molecules) are long
lasting and very small, hence they can readily migrate through the interstitial
spaces in a solid lattice, making it easy to reach the Boron. (Though Mills
doesn't think they can penetrate the electron shells of the B.)

In a quick count of metals employed in this patent, copper is mentioned
seven times and nickel six times.

 

The testing of active powder in Sweden has shown a natural isotope balance
of copper, and no radioactivity.

 

Given that nickel has the second most stable nucleus in the periodic table,
how can any objective observer believe that the heat from this reactor
depends on the conversion of nickel to copper for the heating effect? 

 

.other than that Rossi says so ?

 

Clearly, Rossi has no clue ..

 

I will add, in deference to WL theory and the ULM, that the stated presence
of boron does provide a more acceptable pathway for gain.

*  I will add, in deference to WL theory and the ULM, that the stated
presence of boron does provide a more acceptable pathway for the high gain.

 

This would be due to the very high cross-section of boron for neutrons
(thermal neutrons). I do not know that boron retains the high cross-section
for cold neutrons, but if you look at the tables, which do not address this
AFAIK - there is reason to believe that it would be higher - not lower.

 

Thermal neutrons undergo a strong reaction with the boron-10, with the
result being an alpha particle and lithium 7. Those two would be the ash, so
the hypothesis is easily falsifiable. The downside of the hypothesis is that
the boron is not located in the reactor, so how do cold neutrons migrate?

 

This is a very energetic reaction and bremsstrahlung would not have been
missed by VB, so in summary, this route is just as doubtful as any nuclear
route - unless the there is a new physics version of some kind to hide
high energy photons.

This is a boron day for me . g not boring but boronic.

 

Every day provides new or previously overlooked details, and perhaps an
element of Rossi's good fortune will be that someone, probably not from U of
B, but from somewhere else is going to provide answers that could help him.
The role of boron may be one of them.

 

I am still thinking about the commitment of NASA to this technology. 

 

The interest from Langley - from all reports - is much stronger than the
interviews indicate, and they seem to be hell-bent on it, with a large
staff, and are operating on the premise of it being at least partly related
to the WL theory. When I say 'partly related' - in truth the active
particle seems much more likely to be a version of the virtual neutron
than the ULM since in the Rossi configuration, it must travel in a range of
1-2 cm to activate the boron. The ULM cannot do that.

 

To give credit where it is due, there are many names associated with the
idea that hydrogen, and especially spillover hydrogen (monatomic) can
interact as a neutron - due to electron orbital shrinkage, or deflation,
passivation, or whatnot - and the party that came up with the idea first
should be credited. Why that person, twenty years ago - did not actually
employ boron is a mystery. (that is if it is the active ingredient in E-Cat,
which is today's floater.

 

The names of Vigier, Dufour, Mills and Swartz from the early nineties are
associated in my mind with this virtual neutron concept - but I do not know
who should be credited as the originator - but for sure it is not Larsen
(unless he published something outside of the usual cannels and around 1991.

Good point and I agree that this one is probably still a more of a decoy than

There are many reports of another WIPO filing which will be published soon, 
which will probably identify the catalyst, since essentially that is probably 
his main breakthrough.
