Hi,
The reaction
Ni-60 + 4 H (cluster) => Ca-40 + Mg-24 + 13.5 MeV
readily produces Calcium.
Good point! I ignored cluster reactions because I considered them
too unlikely for production of readily measurable amounts. Also, I
was looking for prospect that create both K and Ca. If you include
cluster possibilities up to 4 hydrogens then the following reactions
are feasible producers of K and Ca:
60Ni28 + 3 p* --> 39K19 + 24Mg12 + 5.135 MeV [-20.921 MeV] (B_Ni:9)
60Ni28 + 3 p* --> 40Ca20 + 23Na11 + 1.771 MeV [-24.285 MeV] (B_Ni:10)
60Ni28 + 4 p* --> 40Ca20 + 24Mg12 + 13.464 MeV [-22.248 MeV] (B_Ni:13)
61Ni28 + 3 p* --> 39K19 + 25Mg12 + 4.646 MeV [-21.274 MeV] (B_Ni:19)
61Ni28 + 3 p* --> 40K19 + 24Mg12 + 5.115 MeV [-20.805 MeV] (B_Ni:20)
61Ni28 + 4 p* --> 40Ca20 + 25Mg12 + 12.974 MeV [-22.554 MeV] (B_Ni:26)
62Ni28 + 3 p* --> 39K19 + 26Mg12 + 5.142 MeV [-20.644 MeV] (B_Ni:39)
62Ni28 + 3 p* --> 40K19 + 25Mg12 + 1.849 MeV [-23.938 MeV] (B_Ni:40)
62Ni28 + 3 p* --> 41K19 + 24Mg12 + 4.613 MeV [-21.173 MeV] (B_Ni:41)
62Ni28 + 3 p* --> 42Ca20 + 23Na11 + 3.198 MeV [-22.589 MeV] (B_Ni:42)
62Ni28 + 4 p* --> 39K19 + 27Al13 + 13.413 MeV [-21.934 MeV] (B_Ni:54)
62Ni28 + 4 p* --> 40Ca20 + 26Mg12 + 13.471 MeV [-21.877 MeV] (B_Ni:55)
62Ni28 + 4 p* --> 42Ca20 + 24Mg12 + 14.890 MeV [-20.457 MeV] (B_Ni:56)
64Ni28 + 3 p* --> 41K19 + 26Mg12 + 6.541 MeV [-18.986 MeV] (B_Ni:70)
64Ni28 + 3 p* --> 44Ca20 + 23Na11 + 5.766 MeV [-19.761 MeV] (B_Ni:71)
If you go up to even just 4 hydrogen clusters, then there are many
other elements which should also be generated, and which are not on
the list designated in the patent as new material.
Sentence [0071] of the new Rossi patent says that after energy
generation the used powders newly contained Cu, S, Cl, K, and Ca.
There is no mention of Mg, which is produced by most reactions I list
above. This specific list of new elements, Cu, S, Cl, K, and Ca, is
still a bit puzzling, especially since Ca and K are rarely found in
feasible reactions as an ash, and are much more likely to be used as
a fuel than produced. I still think Cs and Rh provide more likely
explanations for the generation of K and Ca and little else, but that
is just a not even strongly held opinion.
