Steven, The secret addition may or may not need to be a catalyst if it is the SHAPE of the Nickel grains and how they Interlock with each other that is the controlling factor. I suggest the pyrophoricity of metal powders is also heavily dependent on grain SHAPE and this is why some metals exhibit this property as fine powders while others do not. Grain sizes mentioned by Rossi would seem over size for Casimir geometry - HOWEVER- If it is the SHAPE of these Ni grains and the way the protrusions fit together as in "packing geometry" than the shape and size of the "additive" become extremely important because they are not just backfilling between the existing packing geometry [protrusion] but also creating new geometry as the additive is almost certainly conductive to the extent needed to form Casimir boundaries between the protrusions - Like a jar full of toy jacks where the secret sauce is made of tiny smaller jacks that back fill between the interlocking spikes of the larger jacks.

I Was struck by what appears to be an almost conciliatory approach they have taken in a response to Rossi's desire to back out. Defkalion gives me the impression that in the long run they still hope to remain in a partnership with Rossi. Is it possible Defkalion fears the consequences of Rossi's alleged new U.S. partnership with Ampenegro? I'm not sure I buy that. In any case, the response causes me to speculate that maybe it was Defkalion that had been bending the truth, or at least bending it more than what Rossi has been alleged to have done. If so, knowing Rossi's propensity to be a little creative (or loose) with his own statements on occasion, it's hard to know who is revealing a more accurate picture of what's gong on. I'm reminded of something Mr. Blanton recently speculated on, that perhaps the "secret sauce" angle had been a ruse all along, that the secret has much more to do with overall geometry of the nickel particles as they interact with hydrogen. Such a premise does make me wonder. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
