Interesting idea. Maybe when we master the ignition condition we could do something like a family "explosion engine", based Piston technology.
I can anticipate the 2 mode of ignition : - self ignition by pressure and temperature, like diesel - triggered ignition by "catalyser" (RF, manetic field, chemical injection, local temperature), like otto engine however the speed of the cycle might be much slower that diesel/otto IC engine (few turns per minutes) anyway maybe future LENr reactors will be very difefrents from now... should tell defkalion and rossi 8-) 2012/2/6 Roarty, Francis X <francis.x.roa...@lmco.com> > I think one of the little sterling models would make an interesting > reactor platform where the Ni foam or skeletal cat is captive at the bottom > of the cylinder and the hydrogen gas is sealed inside like the Papp engine > – a sort of hybrid between only using exotic gases like Papp and the > present Rossi or Mills device using pressurized gas with Ni powder or > skeletal cat.
