Axil, You just introduced me to a useful concept regarding quality control - I had only considered the effort needed to keep the nano powder small enough to be effective - fine milling to eliminate those grains of larger size but always assumed the smaller geometries as being unavoidable and therefore thermal runaway when gas atoms interact with this environment... quality control to subtract / filter out smaller grains and eliminate the most destructive geometry never occurred to me.

The answer to Mark Gibbs question. http://www.forbes.com/sites/markgibbs/2012/01/16/cold-fusion-nasa-says-nothing-useful/ In a year old article by Mark Gibbs, he asks as follows: The video is titled, rather abstrusely, "Method for Enhancement of Surface Plasmon Polaritons to Initiate & Sustain LENR in MHS (Metal Hydride Systems)" and is pretty disappointing because rather than explaining what the title means or what experiments have been actually been conducted and the results, the video, featuring a NASA scientist, one Dr. Joseph Zawodny, is a rather disappointing hand-waving, This title from NASA relates to a patent application by Joseph M. Zawodny, concerning METHOD FOR PRODUCING HEAVY ELECTRONS using Plasmons. This is one of the components of the Widom-Larsen LENR Theory. If you remember that NASA fabricated a chip with about 36 square subareas of different colors. These squares are various materials configured to produce Plasmon Polaritons. The Zawodny patent http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/ZawodnyJmethodforp.pdf covers the intellectual property description of Rossi's and DGT micro-powder. I believe that Plasmons are central to the operation of the Rossi type reactor but not as described by the WL theory. By sizing the micro powder at 4 microns, Rossi establishes the resonant black body frequency at 400C. Rossi may have reduced the size of the micro-powder in his 1200C reactor to adjust the black body resonance frequency to a higher black body resonance temperature. Thus size is about 2 microns. This frequency acts as a set point temperature where the reactor tends to operates at because of the resonance temperature of Plasmon generation. Rossi says that the stability of his 1200C reactor is good. How did he achieve this stability? Strict quality control of the micro-particle size provides better or even stable control of the temperature fluctuations and avoids runaway burn up were smaller particle size produces higher temperatures.
