Apparently - in claiming that no one else has shown "robust and powerful Ni-H systems" this Mills (not Randell) is unaware of what Thermacore was doing in the early nineties, ahead of Piantelli (and 50 times more robust). Unlike Rossi - the R&D results in the paper below was verified independently.
http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/GernertNnascenthyd.pdf Yes, Thermacore used potassium, which is a (Randell) Mills' catalyst, but their system is robust - it is easy to show that they were getting more energy out of Ni-Hi (gas phase) in 1994 - per unit of nickel surface area, than Rossi gets today ! (about double). In effect - the Rossi story is NOT about Ni-H, but is really about the power of "nano". The white-paper below presents the case for nano quite well in another arena. http://www.qsinano.com/white_papers/QSI_DSE_Hydrogen_PPT_March_07.pdf Thermacore used nickel capillary tubing, which has a decent surface area - but nothing compared to what Rossi calls "nano-metric". The ratio increase in surface, over tubing, is about 100,000:1 if memory serves.

In my opinion, it should be pointed out that Andrea Rossi has already stated that without the use of catalysts, Ni-H systems do not produce a practical quantity of output. Instead, their output is extremely limited by orders of magnitude, compared to systems using catalysts. Since he is the only individual in the world to have demonstrated robust and powerful Ni-H systems, I think we need to remember what he has said on this topic. I think we should be skeptical of the claims of any company that claims to have robust Ni-H systems, but do not utilize catalysts. When the claims come from a company that has never performed a single demonstration, I think we need to be even more skeptical. Sincerely, Hank Mills _________________________
