... two more details worth mentioning about "seeding" in LENR, such as with a radioactive isotope, only this time it is not an exotic isotope. And that infamous Bologna reactor, shaped like the boot of Italy, is starting to really smoke, now.
The secret could be thorium. The second confirming detail for this is Rossi's transmuted copper. As it turns out, the transmutation of thorium-to-copper, specifically, has been oft reported in the history of LENR going back 15 years... ergo, in a situation where there is nickel seeded with thorium, the copper that shows up may come from the thorium. That would be the Rossi/Cincinnati/Celani connection. Obviously Rossi would not want to admit that thorium was present in the first place, if it turns out to be the secret catalyst. And it would explain a number of other troubling details in this unfolding mystery, as well. Recently, Nick mentioned the Cincinnati group, from the mid-1990s - where thorium was transmuted rapidly to other elements, and a major end-product was said to be copper. And there is this, with a similar claim of *visual levels* of copper from transmutation (as was Rossi's claim = visual levels): http://www.lightparty.com/Energy/TransmutationNuclearWaste.html Also worth mentioning - Lewis Larsen is now on the thorium LENR bandwagon, http://www.slideshare.net/lewisglarsen/thoriumseed-lenr-networkfigslattice-e nergydec-7-2010-6177745 Lots of coincidences here. Not the least of which is this - from Celani no less! http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:1qybllxuy_QJ:lss.fnal.gov/archive/ other/lnf-98-019-p.pdf+cincinnati+thorium+transmutation+copper&hl=en&gl=us&p id=bl&srcid=ADGEESg-RjXcYVaL4W9ZX1mRFvc1FBFIQgVjc5tf6iC5ORVOxMhMZUcTUYLTNEda 7GrLRhw0SI5RwQf3cQKrbj6lKlRwp3ZX_7rVq4H_ocmxKiDpKKkcNWE79gCvwg2zKrCRku7yC53e &sig=AHIEtbTGJvvnMSbJh0nwaiomIUqo5STNTQ Had Rossi been using thorium as his secret catalyst, he would have surely known of Celani's connection via this article above. In fact, it may have been his inspiration for trying it. Years later, at the demo in Bologna, he would have guessed that Celani probably suspected thorium was present, and had his meter calibrated to find it ! Thus - Rossi stopped only Celani, when at least two other meters were looking for other kinds of emissions that he did not care about ! Jones BTW A previous stab at verbalizing probability enhancement was: http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l@eskimo.com/msg39553.html -----Original Message----- . The purpose of the radioactive "seed" emitter in this scenario is NOT to produce power, per se. It is to alter the QM probability field.
