Alan, Thanks for alerting me to Lyne's recent claims regarding Rossi. He has previously said the same about Moller's Atomic hydrogen generator when the 2005 tests by Naudin were underway. I am not saying he is wrong and in fact admire his concept that the reaction requires an ongoing oscillation between h1 and h2 via catalytic material. He deserves some credit but I don't think he ever demonstrated the math or underlying physics that makes the oscillations occur. My posit requires the path to be asymmetrical where h1 is catalytically modified [call it fractional or Inverse rydberg] while h2 opposes the modification making the environment exploitable. Lyne seems to give Mills a free pass even though the skeletal catalyst is really just an inverse method of arriving at the same nano geometry. I don't think our understanding of catalytic action is complete and it will wait for this hurdle to understand what is going on inside these reactors. My posit is that dilation occurs through suppression just like it does for spatial displacement approaching speed of light. The number of virtual particles per unit volume appears to increase as an object approaches C but appears to decreases proportional to Casimir suppression. In the one case we are the fast aging "twin" relative the object approaching C while we are the slow aging "twin" relative to objects like hydrogen atoms undergoing suppression.

The wiki has been frozen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Catalyzer No mention of October is allowed (actually, there's a comment in a different section that, I think, went un-noticed. by the Reliable Source police.) Then in discussion, we have : LYNE ATOMIC HYDROGEN FURNACE This invention is obviously a version of my LYNE ATOMIC HYDROGEN FURNACE derived from my Chapter VI from my 1997-98 second edition of Occult Ether Physics as in http://asse.altervista.org/lahg.pdf , published with my permission in 2003. The illustration which is included near the last page of my book shows that a "catalytic metal" is used to trigger the re-association of atomic hydrogen,though this is unnecessary. The reaction chamber of the Rossi-Focardi device however is completely filled with powdered nickel rather than using a catalytic metal trigger device at the entrance of the atomic hydrogen into the chamber as shown by my 1996 drawing. In the place of using a stream of H2 passing through an electric arc as in my drawing, Rossi-Focardi apparently used Nichrome resistance heating wire to disociate the H2 to H1 similar to how Irving Langmuir did with the exception that "no tungsten was used" as Rossi said, since Nichrome is not tungsten. There have been several other tests of this device but this is the first version of my furnace by other researchers which is industrial-grade, other than my re-design over the past 15 years which is not yet disclosed. In 2003 I was made an honorary member of a Rome group of gentlemen researchers, http://asse.altervista.org.altrascienza.html<http://asse.altervista.org.altrascienza.html/> year 4, Number 20, Sept.-Oct. 2003, to which group I gave permission to distribute copies of my work to its members and associates in Italy. It is presumed that this is how the two University of Bologna professors eventually obtained copies of my work and began their experiments as did members of that Rome group did beginning in 2003.
