Axil,
That is what Pulse Width Modulation [PWM] does - In fact zero "ON" time is a 
valid pulse width for a PWM cycle when the feedback indicates the need to 
greatly reduce the output.

Control of the Rossi reaction is a complicated thing.

The energy density pumping mechanism you site may be only one mechanism of

many that play into the complicated interplay of many factors in which the

Cat-E might be controlled.

 

Reply --Agreed and it may be only a small fraction but I am convinced it is
the INITIATING mechanism for otherwise improbable reactions.///

 

Rossi's revelation that the "secret catalyst" makes the Rossi reaction "go"

is an argument against your theory being the sole or even the primary

controlling factor. He states that without this secret element, nickel

powder does not produce a sustained reaction.

 

Reply --- It is complicated but the secret catalyst whether "spill over" or
an ultrafine "back fill" that simply divides the nano cavities into even
smaller more powerful geometries doesn't negate the need to control the
movement of the gas population above and below the disassociation threshold,
it just gives you more opportunity on a larger scale where fractional
molecules are spread over a larger "volume" or "loading" into ever smaller
relativistic fractional states down to 1/137 - my point is the covalent bond
can act like a rectifier when gas motion pushes the molecule too far from
the fractional value at which it formed in either direction like going from
1/60 h2 to a geometry that wants to reform the atoms of the molecule to a
1/70 th or a 1/50 th fractional state -if the atoms are cool enough to
reform a molecule they will do so at whatever fractional level the geometry
dictates with no stress on the new covalent bond until gas motion pushes it
to a different Casimir geometry.///

 

 

But he also says that the Reaction can continue without the application of

external stimulus being applied. This is where the mechanism you site might

come into play. I also think this is a mode that Rossi does not want the

Cat-E reaction to enter.

 

Reply --- OK if you wish to call lack of control a "mode" vs the PWM
"controlled" "mode" but it is the same initial process before we get into
any possible nuclear reactions. I think the danger is that the cooling loop
slowly builds an army of fractionalized molecules as the system is spun up
which are ready to run away and melt down the geometry in an instant like we
saw with Mills powder in the Rowan confirmations but the quantity of
fractionalized gas would be at a far more dangerous level.///

 

 

I think the "secret catalyst" is a spillover catalyst that turns H2 into H-

and forces this H-into the crystal lattice of the nickel powder. In the

beginning, this might have been only a "startup" mechanism.

 

Reply --- I think "loading" is always an ongoing requirement or the reaction
will die.

 

 

 

But the reactor melted down more than he would have liked where once is too

much.

 

 

 

I believe that Rossi had to somehow disable energy density pumping to

positively control his reactor the way that he wants to.

 

REPLY --- I would disagree, He certainly has to throttle it but not
"disable" it.///

 

 

If energy density pumping is full blown, the reactor may sometimes enter an

uncontrolled mode where it takes off on its own nickel (pun intended) and

melts down.

 

REPLY---Agreed!//

 

As an engineering imperative, I have a feeling that Rossi decided to

centralize control of the reactor in the control box where he can adjust or

shut off control power as required.

 

 

 

He calls his Cat-E reactor an energy amplifier because the small amount of

energy used to control the Cat-E is amplified greatly in the power output of

the reactor.

Axil,
We see the Mill’s powder in the Rowan confirmations totally 
run-away but yet we get mixed messages about the Rossi reactor which IMHO may 
reflect the bond state of the gas population. It seems counter-intuitive but 
instead of just throttling back this Rossi type of reaction we MUST remove 
heat, not only to store the energy gain but it seems we have to cool the 
disassociated atoms enough that nature takes over and they reform molecules 
allowing us to repeat the cycle over and over again. I am not saying the 
reaction stops without cooling but only that it slows itself down proportional 
to the population that is in molecular form. The random motion of gas relative  
to Casimir geometry changes the energy density being experienced by the gas 
molecules. Atoms are simply reoriented by this change in energy density  but 
those atoms sharing covalent bonds (molecules)  are held by the covalent bond 
in the same orientation they possessed when the molecule formed. This 
"pressure" the covalent bond feels when energy density changes discounts the 
energy needed to disassociate the molecule such that it can occur at a much 
lower temperature - when these atoms later re-form a new molecule they release 
the full energy associated with hydrogen atoms dropping to the lower molecular 
energy state including even the energy contributed in the previous cycle from 
the combination of gas motion and change in energy density. We are getting a 
full refund for a purchase discounted by the constant motion of gas.

It the temperature continues to rise above another set point, the control box 
releases the hydrogen gas into the water loop piping though the controlled 
opening of an electrically controlled valve. This action vents excess heat to 
the outside environment and serves to depress the reaction.

in my design i will prefer bimetal valves for solid state non-electronic 
control if possible.
eg: http://www.emsclad.com/examples/thermal-controls.html

“How much would the temperature of the metal rise?”

The nickel oxide powder will have a substantial amount of hydrogen stored in 
the lattice interstices at the surface of the nickel oxide powder where the 
oxygen has been depleted by the erosive action of hydrogen impingement at the 
surface or into the surface to some depth of the powder.
What do you say the previous question(s) about H2O production between H2 and 
the O from NiO ?

When the heat sink of the water coolant is removed, this nuclear reaction in 
the lattice interstices will continue until the temperature of at the surface 
of the powder reaches the melting point of nickel. The lattice interstices will 
begin to close as nickel migrate to these lattice interstices sites displacing 
the absorbed hydrogen gas.

“Will the nuclear reaction stop due to high temperatures or will it be 
enhanced?”

With some number of these heat producing sites disabled, the temperature at the 
surface of the reaction vessel will stabilize and slowly begin to fall.
So you think it is totally self regulating in a melt down situation? and the 
electronically controlled valves are only to prevent the meltdown?

This leaves open the possibility for the use of thorium in the internal heater. 
Thorium has been used in vacuum tubes for many years with no radiation danger.

How confident are you about the tungsten vs nichrome question for element 
material? is SiC another reasonable possibility? Or is it too dangerous to have 
any C around?

Can you further explain the potential benefit of Thorium?


Finally, I have a question about the radiation shielding layers... if the 
reactor is operating between 400 and 600C optimally, how can the lead shielding 
remain solid? or if the borated water solution is used, won't that vaporize?

thanks to you all for your insightful contributions and engagement.
