I understood that. So then, to make his numbers work, he must bump up those specific isotopes (3.6% and 0.9%) so that they make up around 35% (to explain the 30% Copper and/or Iron he claims to be in the "ash", with the "natural" ratios of Nickel remaining).
IIRC, Rossi claims a total of 100g per "module", which would mean he would have to create about 35g of those specific isotopes for each $10 charge (what he claims to be able to sell a 6-month supply of "fuel" for). He also claims that the cost of doing this enrichment is about 10% of the cost of the raw Nickel. This works out to producing specific isotopes of 62Ni and/or 64Ni for about $0.03/gram. According to this page (the first one I found), Nickel nanopowder is about $0.02 - $0.04 per gram: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/427027861/nickel_powder.html?s=p I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to find the going rate for specific isotopes of Nickel. I'll bet it costs A LOT more than $0.03/gram. I have to believe that someone on the Vortex can get a ballpark figure for purified 62Ni and 64Ni. Meanwhile, the technology to produce kilogram quantities of specific enriched isotopes for pennies a gram is, I suspect, worth far more than the market for space heaters. Funny that Rossi would disregard that aspect of his operation. There's also the fact that several unfriendly countries are devoting significant portions of their national economy on being able to do this exact process with Uranium. If there is any chance that the process can be adapted for something other than Nickel, then it would have, um, explosive consequences should it fall into unfriendly hands. ________________________________ From: Daniel Rocha <danieldi...@gmail.com> To: John Milstone <vortex-l@eskimo.com> Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2012 9:42 AM Subject: Re: [Vo]:I`ll just leave this here He meant that only 62 and 64 transmutes. So, he maximizes their quantity to increase the energy density.
