Bob, I see a direct connection between the temperature of the inner nickel holder and the LENR activity in that test. When I follow the falling nickel box temperature I see that the LENR has the appearance of a relaxation oscillator that can not quite operate on its own bias. It also makes a few 'strikes' as the nickel holder temperature falls. And, once the power is reversed during the narrow pulse the temperature of the holder begins to rise until approximately the same magnitude is reached when the oscillator restarts and the temperature rapidly heads up due to LENR activity. Notice that when input heater power is again reduced the temperature begins to fall rapidly as in the first case. Saturation of the TC hides exactly what is happening.
There may be another interaction associated with magnetic coupling in the Chinese test, but it is not that obvious to me. Many details need to be uncovered before we can get to the bottom of this complex system.

It seems evident that either electric fields or magnetic fields or both are the stimulating input that allows the energy releases associated with rapid temperature increases.

It is possible [speculation] that Rossi simply divides the heater into 2 or more segments (from left to right in a horizontal HotCat reactor). For example, lets say that there are 3 segments to the heater. Perhaps the outer heater segments are the mouse and the inner heater segment is the cat. Initially, all heaters are driven to bring the HotCat to operating temperature. Then the center segment is turned OFF and operates in SSM while the 2 outer segments remain heated. When the SSM begins to wane in the center, the center heater is turned ON and the outer heaters are turned OFF so that the outer segments operate in SSM. With the H2 and the liquid metal transferring heat, perhaps each segment helps support the one adjacent to it in such a configuration. This seems a little "cat and mouse -ish" to me. I think the cat & mouse are probably much less exotic than what has been proposed in this thread.

Is this assumption wrong? Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
