yes, they not only stick together, but they usually melt together when I try to use them. That is why I had to move to nano material held in C or silica. I ended up with just a blob of metal that eventually quite working..... at least for me. D2

Hot nanoparticles exist in a dark mode electromagnetically. They absorb heat and transform that radiation into dipole oscillations. This charge separation of positive and negative charge in a dipole will attract nanoparticles like lint sticks to your outfit. This buildup in charge separation causes a “stark effect” The underlying basis of the attractive force has actually been known for at least half a century: blackbody radiation shifts the atomic energy levels of nearby atoms, molecules, and nanoparticles. In these "Stark shifts," the ground states of the atom or atomic aggregates are shifted to a lower energy by an amount that is roughly proportional to the fourth power of the blackbody's temperature. That is, the hotter the blackbody, the larger the dipole oscillations become, and the charge separation that is associated with the dipoles. While this much has been theoretically known, however, the potential repercussions on nano-systems of these energy shifts have been overlooked until recently. In a new study, scientists have for the first time shown that the Stark shifts induced by blackbody radiation can combine to generate an attractive optical force that dominates the blackbody's own repulsive radiation pressure. This means that, despite its outgoing radioactive energy flow, a hot nano-sized atomic cluster actually attracts rather than repels neutral atoms and molecules, under most conditions. This cluster attraction occurs because other atoms and clusters whose ground states are shifted to lower energy levels are drawn toward regions of higher radiation intensity—in the case of Ni/H reactors, nano and micro particle blackbodies. The strength of the attractive force decays with the third power of the distance from the blackbody. Second, the force is stronger for smaller objects. Third, the force is stronger for hotter objects, up to a point. At above a few thousand degrees Kelvin, the force changes from attraction to repulsion, What does this say about what goes on inside a Ni/H reactor core? When nanoparticles are produced by spark discharge or heating elements in an Ni/H reactor, these clusters are strongly attracted to each other if the hydrogen is hot enough. The hydrogen and/or potassium nano-clusters produced by plasma condensation will rapidly migrate over to the Ni micro particles. The Ni micro particles are permanent particles that a not created or destroyed during Ni/H reactor operations. Ni particles are specially prepared using a vender specific proprietary process in an offline setting. This process may include isotope enhancement as well as the formation of nano sized nanowires on the surface of each micro dimensioned nickel particle. The nanoparticles in the Ni/H reaction are dynamically produced particles that are generated during every plasma excitation cycle and are gradually destroyed by LENR reaction activity between plasma excitation cycles. After these dynamic nanoparticles are created and made clingy by dipole charge separation, these newly born dust particles rush to join up with the Ni micro-particles. These small clusters will coat these permanent nickel particles and their nanowire surfaces in the same way that snow clings to the branches of an evergreen tree in a snowstorm. As nuclear activity produces energy, the dynamic particles are blown off the surface of nickel particles but these dynamic particles are strongly attracted back to the areas of nuclear activity As the LENR reaction proceeds between plasma excitation cycles, these dynamic nanoparticle gradually melt like snow in a springtime hot spell until they are rebuild by the next plasma excitation activation.
