Robin--
The voltage may be an intermittent voltage like in a spark plug. The
current is low but the transient voltage is what is required to initiate the
LENR. Spark plugs in cars develop 20,000 volts as you probably know. I
have been shocked may times by such voltage sources.
I guessed that the Quark wafer design made use of positive and negative
plates to collect either H- or H+, electrons and/or positrons. I would
guess that the mean free path of an energetic positron would be on the order
of a similar energetic electron. This would be several microns, I believe,
before a reaction with an electron might occur.
Rossi noted that the Quark-X produced 1/2 thermal energy (maybe from .511
Mev radiation) and 1/2 direct electrical output.

Robin the 100kev might be an effect of direct current taking multipaths thru
metal powders loaded with H ions - he doesn't say he is using a 100kv power
supply.. [snip] "4 - a generator of direct current connected with a cathode
and an anode to accelerate the electrons" [/snip] I am thinking micro spark
gap circuits formed of powder grains and gas ions.

Hi,

I wouldn't put too much stock in this. The metal parts are likely to short
out a
100 kV voltage supply.
From the lenr-forum.com
Rossi's missing secret or E-CatX description or both?
"All replicators should pay attention to Rossi's provisional US-patent
61/999,582, filing-date: August 01, 2014. Provisional patents are not
published at USPTO but another site published a copy of this patent
which contains the following description:
"In a reactor are put nickel powders, hydrides at a pressure of 3-6
bars an a temperature of 400-600 Celsius, AND AT ONE SIDE OF THE REACTOR
IS PUT AN ANODE, AT THE OPPOSITE A CATHODE, so that electrons are
accelerated up to 100 keV, ..."
At the ends of the reactor are an anode and a cathode!!!
"4 - a generator of direct current connected with a cathode and an
anode to accelrate the electrons"
So Rossi is using DC to initiate (and maybe control) the reaction. (And
possibly uses the anode and cathode for direct extraction of electric
energy after the reaction occured - ECatX.)"
