Piantelli has worked with Ni powder, it is written in his 1995 patent and this is the main reason Rossi's patent is not approved. His process and work strategy is even better described in his 2010 patent.
The most probable scenario is this: Rossi has found an additive that enhances the Ni-H reaction used by Piantelli. Working empirically, Rossi has problems with the control and the continuity of the generators. He was unable to make the E-cat to work continuously for 48 hours and DGT has not paid him, this was probably something stipulated in the contract. Divorce....DGT recognizes the merits of Rossi, however has prefered to develop alone the generators using good enegineers and systematic work, not tinkering. My guess is that the additive pompously called catalyst is not so special and not so secret. It's probable function was already discussed at this Forum, many months ago. With some effort you can find good candidates for the stuff. Not a secret of Polichinelle but not deep mystery. The frequency generator is an extra indication for the solution. And the Greek company has first class professionals. On Mon, Nov 21, 2011 at 9:56 PM, Jed Rothwell <jedrothw...@gmail.com> wrote: > We discussed the Tovima article already.
