1. There is an assumption that all the Rossi fuel particles were the same isotopic mix. This may not have been the case. To my knowledge AR did not say the fuel was a homogeneous mix. There may have been different concentration in the various nano particles used to load the reactor.
2. I have not seen a good discussion of the ambient magnetic field in either AP or AR reactors. I believe that the B fields locally occurring in each nano particle is important in achieving a viable reaction because of the effect such a field has on the Li, H and Ni harmonics or anharmonics. These local conditions may also be influenced by the local thermal motions. As I have indicated before, I think the idea of breathers within a nano particle is important in causing the approach of H to any Ni isotope or any Li isotope or Li to Ni. And it may be that the various isotopic nuclear wave functions are slightly larger or smaller than an average size and/or deformed by the local magnetic B field to be longer or shorter in one dimension. Variations of the local B field may also be important in the creation of any anharmonicty that produces additional overlap of nuclear wave functions. The local B conditions may also influence the additional loading of Li and H within any BCC lattice unit to create a crowded lattice site with potential likely LENR. I may even be that H forms a negative ion and acts like a muon to catalyze LENR. (As some believe, muons may be important in LENR involving simple plasma 2 or 3 body reactions.) If the local B field is large enough, it may create 1-dimensional LENR reactions that favor one Ni isotope relative to another. The description of the complex coherent system suggested above is beyond current analytics IMHO. One thing Rossi has going from him is that he does not know too much physics to stymie his experimental approach at finding conditions and materials that work.

Here is the comparative data. The important comparison is on slide 14. As a good scientist, you will change your view after studying this. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5Pc25a4cOM2cHBha0RLbUo5ZVU/view?pref=2&pli=1 The AP test ran for 4.5 days and produced more excess heat per day than the revised Lugano numbers - with the net being 150 MJ (40 kWH). Based on the revised numbers from Bob Higgins for the Lugano run, transposed to AP we should have seen about a quarter of Parkhomov’s totally nickel converted to 62Ni, assuming Rossi was correct and did not cheat. Yet there was almost zero – almost NO CHANGE in Parkhomov’s 62Ni numbers, so it is clear that Rossi cheated or else Parkhomov did. They both cannot be true. To believe the Rossi analysis is real – almost 100% of the nickel in the 30 day run had to be converted to the single isotope! Explain that !
