Hmm... this may be the first time that the particular detail about copper metal vapor has come up, but it raises the issue (if Rossi could be believed) ... about copper vapor and an internal laser.
It could be inadvertent lasing but providing a window in his reactor could indicate that it is also being stimulated. Copper vapor lasers are efficient, but require 1500 C - so halides are often used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_vapor_laser ... makes one wonder if copper hydride would work. This paper turns up: http://tf.nist.gov/general/pdf/939.pdf ... but we all tend to think of Rossi as not being that sophisticated. It would be mind boggling if lasing were being employed. Rothwell has been saying for some time that the underneath the clown costume, Rossi is a brilliant inventor and that the is method in his madness. Is the Hot-Cat an indication of more intentional misdirection, or is Rossi for real ? From: Mark Snoswell LOL - Copper is incredibly mobile with a vapour pressure several orders of magnitude higher then Nickel at the same temperature. Even at 950C the copper vapour is spreading is spreading copper everywhere... almost as annoying as all the inconsistencies in Rossi's patent. From: David Roberson How would the nickel/hydrogen mixture be at a lower temperature than the region that completely surrounds it? Heat would travel toward the cooler center until it was in equilibrium. Dave
