This lack of control makes the E-Cat technology untenable. Rossi has realized this and Rossi is will to let this knowhow fadeaway. The LENR reaction wants to operate at the boiling point of the metal lattice (nickel) which is 3000K. LENR is based on activation of nanoparticles in a dusty plasma. Rossi has struggled to control the LENR reaction at low temperatures but he always fails because LENR would invariably get to 3000K and meltdown his reactor. So Rossi finally decided to use reactor structural material that doesn't melt at 3000K. This material must be an insulator that does not melt at 3000K. Mills has stumbled on the same reaction and his SunCell runs at the vapor point of silver at only 2200C. Mills has solved the meltdown problem is another way, he justs runs everything as a liquid without any containment. Holmlid is on to the same LENR mechanism. There is nothing unusual with metalized hydrogen. In the LENR reaction, metalized hydrogen acts like any other metallic nanoparticle. > > > Using a lattice for LENR is a losing proposition. The dusty plasma approach to the LENR reaction is the only way to go. I beleive that Rossi has settled on a high temperature tube material that works: boron nitride, a transparent isolator whose melting point is 3000C.
First I've read this (because I barely follow this e-List). Let us hope the issue is exactly this. But it begs another one: we don't KNOW these things for sure, *because some/most/all of the actors involved ARE HIDING THESE FACTS FROM THE PUBLIC*. Because: possibility of huge financial pay-off at the end of all this Sturm-und-drang for *some* people (them). Also because, alongside the loot, comes eternal glory for one or a small number of self-interested individuals... Point being: this is not Science. This is 'corporate research' : AFAIC the very bane of Science and the scientific method. Not to mention being entirely egotistical and anti-democratic.
