RE: my source for Rossi's statement about seeing 100-300keV particles... Sure, here it is, on March 18: http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3126617.ece Titled: "And here are 36 more questions - with Rossi's answers" Specifically, here is the Q&A: --------------------- Peter Ekström: In the fusion of a proton with Ni-58 a substantial activity of Cu-59 is formed. Cu-59 decays with a half-life of 82 seconds by beta+ decay. In the Focardi and Rossi article it is stated that: "No radioactivity has been found also in the Nickel residual from the process". Considering the very high activity of Cu-59 that is produced, it is surprising that no activity is detected. Even ten half-lives after the end of a run the activity should be of the order of 1013 Bq, which is not only easily measurable (with a detector far away from the source) but also deadly for everybody present in the room! (Could you explain?) Rossi: No radioactivity has been found in the residual metals, it is true, but the day after the stop of the operation. In any case you are right, if 59-Cu is formed from 58-Ni we should have the couples of 511 keV at 180° and we never found them, while we found keV in the range of 100-300 keV. I think no 59Cu is produced, I suppose only stable Cu is produced from the transmutation of the isotopes 62Ni and 64Ni. I desume this from what we find after the operations. Your observation is correct. --------------------- Perhaps we should capture that whole Q&A session since it has numerous other answers by Rossi that are relevent... including yet another seemingly contradictory statement where he says the output heat is regulated by "modulating the parameters of insertion of hydrogen we regulate the power of the E-Cat." But I've also recently seen on his website blog that he can control the temperature of the water by varying the (power to the) resistive heaters! Which is the right one??? Or, are they both accurate in that both hydrgen pressure and resistive heater power will control the reaction rate (heat output)...

Anything specific about the type of particles? "The device produces 100 keV and 300 keV particles. (Rossi? Iverson reports)" - Jed
