In his patent, Rossi says that a "true nuclear cold fusion" is happening inside the reactor. (page 12) and he says: "triggering a capture of a proton by the nickel powder, with a consequent transformation of nickel to copper". (page 1) On page 12 his says also, that: "in addition to fusion, the inventive reaction also provides a nickel nucleus fission phenomenon generating lighter stable atoms."
but later he said several times not to know how his reactor is working. And now his says to know exactly was is happening inside the reactor: Andrea Rossi May 23rd, 2011 at 2:33 PM Dear Mr Pietro F. We do net need somebody else make a research of what happens in the reactors, because we know now exactly what happens. Warm regards, A.R. Why does he now keep the reaction secret? -- NEU: FreePhone - kostenlos mobil telefonieren! Jetzt informieren: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/freephone
