I’m way out of my zone of expertise here, as a speaker builder/designer, I am familiar with resonant frequencies of boxes, cavities, or spaces. Has the possibility that Rossi is optimizing the reactor design so the reactor cavity resonates at specific frequencies? Has this been considered? We’ve all seen the YouTube videos that show how powdered materials dance and move in patterns when subjected to strong fields of acoustic energy at varying frequencies. Acoustic waves can levitate heavy objects, is it not possible that such an effect could keep the powder mix in a turbulent and evenly distributed state even when at high temperatures? The sintering seen afterward could be taking place when the device is powered down and the fuel mix settles to the bottom, no longer being agitated. I realize I don’t have the background to tell you much of anything that you do not already know in this discussion, but I have not seen the subject addressed, at least not that I can recall. The differing pressures and temperatures inside the active vessel would alter these figures significantly I'm sure, but these such factors could be addressed and managed.

There is no certainty that physics or chemistry works that same inside the a functioning dog bone as it does in the real world. Maybe different physical rules apply."
