With the recent corresponding findings of both Defkalion and MFMP suggesting the temperature needs to be >179C to initiate the reaction, I am wondering if this may also have implications for electrolysis with nickel.
Obviously, it would be difficult to run electrolysis at a power level high enough to heat the cathode to that temperature for very long (the water would boil off). A pressurized electrolytic cell would seem to be an option. Another option would be lateral cathode pulses of high power and relatively brief duration to bring the cathode temp above >179C, but avoid boiling off the water. The trouble with this method may come in if the nickel needs to remain at >179C. This also has me wondering about two other things. 1) Brillouin Energy's method of electrolysis would seem likely to elevate the cathode temperature >179C. Could this be a factor in Godes' success? 2) Electrolytic plasma experiments with tungsten -- is the cathode temperature a key element rather than the plasma? Best regards, Jack
