Axil, What is the basis of this assessment? It is only because Tungsten has a
higher melting point? Or is there any other LENR-based reason.
Seems to me that if SWNT-Based LENR is correct, neither Nickel nor Tungsten
would be relevant as the NAE is not cracks and you don't need a lattice.
Tungsten has seldom been successfully used as the seed material for CNT growth.
It looks like it might be too big to catalyze SWNT growth.
I am using Nickel because my reactor has a dual purpose, it is both an CVD and
Arc Discharge reactor in one, hence I am usng nickel for catalytic growth of
CNTs.

I like tungsten. Tungsten is where my heart lies.
One of these new LENR startup companies that DGT is talking about will be
well advised to build a reactor based on tungsten powder. DGT and Rossi are a
good first step in a new industry; they will provide us with the model-T of
LENR reactors. In the exuberance of our present euphoria, let us not be
satisfied with their efforts. At this juncture, at this nascent stage, it is
important to properly adjust our expectations; as the twig is bent so the tree
will grow. Let us not lose sight of the ultimate goal. Far better LENR products
are possible and will be eventually developed, and the sooner, the better.
To get a competitive edge in the LENR fray to come, a LENR reactor company
must use tungsten. With a melting point that few other elements can approach,
tungsten will provide a very hot LENR reactor operating temperature. High
operating temperature means high thermal efficiencies and the abilities to use
molten salts or liquid metal as a coolant.
An industrial strength LENR reactor based on Tungsten and Carbon will be the
ultimate perfection of the LENR reactor art.
Even the ash from the tungsten LENR reaction is the most precious of the rare
metals.
Taking the long view of the future, natural gas and coal will not last
forever. The glass, steel, metals, and cement businesses need high temperature
process heat at about 2000C to replace the fuels they are using now.
Nickel may well serve the home heating market, but tungsten will support the
future needs of the industrial LENR reactor marketplace that is to come.

My dear Friends,
See please my discussion with the management of Defkalion Green
Technologies:
http://egooutpeters.blogspot.ro/2012/06/interview-with-defkalion-i-business.html
It is a first interview focused on their Business. Other discussions will
follow
centered on more technological and scientific issues.
I think that these friends of mine will convert ICCF-17 in the greatest
triumph of
LENR's history.
I will avoid to call Defkalion the future Google of Energy- they have an
other mode of
thinking in business, their company has a different "personality"
They are very fast and serious professionals... and please do not forget
that they are working in a very "special' environment.
I hope my admiration and my deep empathy for them will be contagious.
Peter
