http://www.defkalion-energy.com/forum/download/file.php?id=23 As with Rossi still no 3rd party validation but lots of very interesting information:
As many have speculated Defkalion are using a plasma source of quite high power, 24kV, 22mA at several kHz (automotive level performance), TZM (molybdenum) and tungsten electrodes, 2-8bar Hydrogen with sparking to ignite reaction cycles many times per hour (on order of 6 minutes per cycle). On the order of 3-7kJ required to start a cycle. Electrode life is an issue. State that sparks create rydberg hydrogen atoms that then start the reaction. Nickel in non- face centred cubic crystals. No enrichment required but needs to be protected from spark kernels, using a nickel powder protected within a nickel foam. Some mix of ZnO, MgO and ZrO too. Lots of transmutations, and fusion of H to heavier elements, no gammas outside 50-300keV (pretty safe). 180-850°C in reactor, seems to be about 1kW output at present (92Wh out of a cycle, and about 10 cycles per hour). COP up to 22.
