The nickel catalyst? How could it! The cell is sealed and pressurized. The H2 tank would drain if there were holes in the cell to let the water through. Besides, it would wash out the powder. This is the second or third time I have heard someone suggest the water may reach the nickel. We know the water goes straight through with little resistance because in the first test it was driven with an itty-bitty pump. I suppose that pump consumed 20 W at most. Beene seems to think that a 20 W pump can magically add 16 kW (or 12 kW -- or something) to the reaction, but I suspect it cannot. Rossi says there is no copper or anything else, just stainless steel in the cell, and that is what the water comes in contact with. But what does he know? - Jed
