Re metals tried successfully, Prof Piantelli wrote me, inter alia: "all the metals from the four transition metal groups are able to work, more or less;
Naturally some work better than the other due to a better electronic conformation in the most external shell and Zr is one of these. The W of Iwamura also works and also Th and some rare earths. These all are described in my newest patent filed in 2008 and in the publication in print at the Atti del Accademia dei Fisocritici. The mechanism for Zr and for the transition metals is always the same as with Ni. Obviously the transmutations of the active elements that take place are different for each metal used. Till now we have obtained very satisfactory with Ti, Cr, Mn and Fe- with very good results. The analysis of these elements by SEM- EDAX after extraction from the cell shows that the secondary reactions due to the expulsed protons (using the same materials for the cells as for Ni) are practically the same if we change the elements present in the active core the answers to the primary reaction of nuclear capture" . > As you see, it is a huge area for research.
