Anyone who has touched a maxed-out transistor, even driven by a AA battery knows that these little devils can put out surprisingly high heat, even when they are operating quite efficiently at modulating the current they are passing. Is there a clue there - for the Rossi effect?
A bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is a three-terminal electronic device, somewhat the counterpart of a vacuum triode, but constructed of semiconductor material. The E-Cat might in effect be a new kind of transistor - and it might help in understanding its operation to merge the BJT with a photodiode effect, in which current flow is triggered by a photon. Even a weak IR photon in the ambient range can work (with a very low or negative bandgap). At any rate - a large mass of dielectric in which Casimir cavities have been opened, can operate as a semiconductor. A dielectric support is used to hold nano-nickel alloy, which is a spillover catalyst, and in operation is filled with 'spillover hydrogen' which with zitter, attains net positive charge naturally. This arrangement can be envisioned as a negative bandgap semiconductor. When operating at 50/60 Hertz, with internal resistance - this material can be envisioned as capturing zero point energy, for excess heat effects. Bipolar transistors are so named because their operation involves electrons and 'holes' which move charge. In the context of an energy device, like the E-Cat, the 'holes' would not be imaginary, and instead are protons bouncing around in a dielectric Casimir cavity, where the proton can experience either relativistic or abnormal pressure effects. Having positive charge makes this kind of transistor hole potentially very efficient to the point of being nearly self-powered in a way. The 'energy hole' of Mills' CQM theory is a secondary connection to Rossi; and this is another potent analogy which cannot be overlooked, since a "below ground state orbital" has a permanent fractional charge (like an electret on steroids). We know that in Mills' theory, hydrino hydride is said to make an excellent battery due to high mobility of charge carriers - and somewhere in a merger of 'all of the above', it would seem that the stage is set for understanding or a fabulous new heating device which does not produce substantial radioactivity. At the risk of conflating field effect (FETs) and junction transistors, along with fractional hydrogen, we can say the band gap of any semiconductor has a conduction band, and a maximal-energy state in the valence band, each of which are characterized by a certain vector and gap, direct or indirect, but there is usually a positive difference to be overcome. In photonics, the photon of light provides the energy for charge movement. On paper, this photon can be IR - low temperature heat. The use of internally generated heat from ZPE to provide charge movement provides the answer to the mystery of what seems to a 'critical mass' of reactant (as a requirement). Nothing in the history of LENR has come close to these power levels before, since all of the experiments were using way too little reactant. One more point. Normally the band gap in IR photonics is positive at a fractional eV. However, in some transistors with an indirect gap, the value of the gap can be negative. IOW, the top of the valence band is higher than the bottom of the conduction band in energy. Such materials are known as 'semimetals' instead of semiconductors - and have never really been exploited in electronics - since what they gain in efficiency they lose in precision. When the giant E-Cat transistor is used for heat - the precision in not needed (there can be an occasional. A semimetal can be mixed with a high bandgap (zirconia is high) and the net effect is heat. Then there is the niche of 'negative resistance' (usually negative differential resistance) found in some transistor circuits - which would be tantamount to electrical overunity, if it were not a narrow differential effect. See where this could be going? Despite the net heat in kilowatts, the operation of the E-Cat is consistent with a gram of hydrogen operating as the positive charge carrier within a porous dielectric (net effect is semiconductor) at two frequencies - the IR on top of 50/60 cycles with the IR providing a photoelectric effect. I looked around for a vid that could convey some of the possibilities but the only thing that turns up is zinc negative differential resistance, and it takes a LOT of imagination to see that as anything more than junk at this stage... but hey ... if anyone were to find a Rossi E-Cat in trash, not knowing its internal beauty - I doubt if even a dumpster-diver would try to salvage it :-) Jones
