Oops my mistake - sulfur does form a rather notable hexavalent compound with fluorine

Molybdenum is hexavalent --- but sulfur is not (5).

In a Defkalion presentation, I remember that there
was a dashboard in the background of a picture. In that board, a hexavalent
look like molecule was designed. Could it be H6S? I'm speculating as well
here.

Most interesting. This is a provocative observation
that the Petrodragon reactor used the Bergius process, Arnaud.
It would be even more interesting if we knew for
sure what catalysts specifically that Rossi was using there. All of the
transition metals listed in the Wiki entry on Bergius are Mills catalysts.
Molybdenum, in fact, is the closest fit of all
transition metals to 27.2 under Mills Theory - when it goes from Mo2+ ->
Mo3+ (27.13 eV) and the sulfides would facilitate that ionic transition
since they are so reactive with hydrogen.
For instance, if we knew for sure that Rossi was
adding MoS2 - which is a commonly used catalyst in the petrochemical
industry (but better known as a dry lubricant), then that is strong
indication that this particular catalyst found its way into the E-Cat (along
with scrap rubber ??)
There is a fair chance that Andrea Rossi discovered
the heat anomaly first with the Petrodragon reactor before moving on to a
smaller version. I have never heard this particular suggestion voiced before
now, but it makes sense, no?
The E-cat is simply a little Petrodragon reactor.
LOL.
That would explain its very crude construction in
the first models, and the large amount of exterior gunk seen on them. If you
have ever used molybdenum disulfide, you know what I am talking about.
