The project described in this post supports and extends my understanding of what is going on in the Rossi reactor.
First off, the use of potassium as an alkaline catalyst supports my belief that Rossi is using some alkaline based catalyst like potassium as his “secret catalyst”. Potassium produces Rydberg hydrogen matter as a cold plasma which eventually arrive at the surface of the cathode where nuclear reactions supported by the quantum mechanical actions of coherent and entangled atoms occur. The next implication to be drawn from this tungsten based experiment is that the Rossi reaction is exclusively a surface reaction which occurs right on top of the surface of the cathode. Tungsten does not allow hydrogen to penetrate its surface. A significant percentage of the nuclear reactions must be occurring right at the very top of the tungsten surface when the reaction first begins. As the reaction erodes the surface, the surface area of the tungsten increases an so does the reaction in like proportion. This supports my view that the great productivity of the Rossi reaction over his contemporary competitors is in the surface preparation of his reaction vessel. He uses nickel nano powder coated on the surface of the reaction vessel to optimize the surface as prolific sites for to maximize the number of nuclear active areas. His competitors do not do this, and until they do, they will see reduced nuclear activity in their experiments. For example, if the tungsten experimenters would have coated their cathode with nano-powder (nickel or otherwise), the productivity of their experiment would be greatly enhanced. The same surface improvement could be applied to the current efforts of Brian Ahern. The chaotic chemical activity replete with oxygen in the Neapolitan tungsten based cell would tend to destroy Rydberg matter and therefore suppress the effectiveness of the reaction. On the other hand, Rossi provides a benign chemical environment that allows Rydberg matter to exist indefinitely. This too greatly increases the great productivity of the Rossi reaction. The tungsten experimenters would do well to use a high pressure hydrogen envelope like Rossi. This would increase the activity of their reaction greatly.
