Ø It is known that Rossi uses Fe2O3 to increase the splitting of H2 molecules into H atom. How is this known, Arnaud ? I have heard it before, but there are many rumors floating around the internet concerning Rossis catalysts, most of which are guesses or based on ppm found in ash. Many elements can turn up in the ash of experiments due to migration and iron and copper are very mobile at high temperatures. In general, a catalyst which splits H2 molecules is called a spillover catalyst. There is a great deal of information out there on this subject. Nickel is a good spillover catalyst as is palladium, so there is no need for another one unless that catalyst provides something else. OTOH, iron and oxygen are both Mills catalysts and anyone who has followed Mills over the years will understand that in his experiments, good results often depend on having 3 or 4 catalysts with different values operating simultaneously, so Fe2O3 does fit that way as a matter of logic at least for those who favor a Millsean approach.
