Is alumina or a triac or some combination there of an enabler in LENR? Jack Cole has reported an anomaly to us in the thread titled "[Vo]:melted alumina tube". The alumina insolating powder on the outside of his test reactor was melted and fused under very high heat, When Jack repeated the experiment without fuel, the same melting of the alumina insolation condition was observed. Because this event did not fit into Jack's preconception of what LENR was supposed to be, Jack dismissed the event as an unexplained happenstance not related to LENR. But was it some unknown fluke of nature?
IMHO, Jack should spend some time by looking into this case in more depth. I suggest that he power the reactor without fuel as he did before but this time with a power source that is not regulated and controlled by using triac dimmer for power regulation. If 200 some odd watts of unregulated power does not melt the alumina, then there is something special in the output of the triac electrical output that produces extreme heat in the alumina powder. Exploring unexplained flukes in experiments is where many breakthrough in science come from.
