Nickel is probably in the form of an alloy and serves as the spillover catalyst, however, since pure nickel, even nano-sized - is not as good as alloys.
Rossi answers straight-out to one question that he uses no precious metals, right? Of course, his credibility is in doubt for that and other reasons, but many alloys of nickel are quite good for spillover, and it does not have to be Pd. For instance Ni-Mo is quite good with only 5-10% Mo added. One of Miley's paper actually had a rough drawing of how he thinks IRH might appear but I can't remember which one. -----Original Message----- From: Terry Blanton Subject: Re: [Vo]:The ZPED theory of quasi-nuclear gain (long post) Sooo, where does Ni come into play? Is it the spillover catalyst or is Pd? And which material has the Casimir cavities? The Ni or the Zr? I think a pycno piccy would be nice. T
