Zirc oxide is a proton conductor. (especially with a little Y in it and with some H2O vapor in the system) Fe oxide is useful in H dissociation - as well as Ti oxides.
From: jone...@pacbell.net To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: RE: [Vo]:A paper about my LENR work with carbonyl Ni Date: Sat, 3 Aug 2013 08:15:24 -0700 Nicely done Bob! Easy to download (google link) and worth further study. I hope you will test other materials against this one. Specifically zirconia and nickel instead of iron oxide and nickel. Something about the combination has been successful in dozens of experiments. Ahern in his EPRI paper noticed a strong correlation between pulverization time and thermal gain. IIRC his best material had been tumbled for over 100 hours in a ball mill (converted rock tumbler). From: Bob Higgins Some have been successful, and others unsuccessful. I don't know why. When I click on the link below, it brings up the paper. David Nygren indicated that he added the paper to his "LENR News" blog: http://www.lenrnews.eu/?p=1370&preview=true . Perhaps that is another way to get it. I can't post it to Vortex-L, it is too big. I can send it to you directly, but it doesn't solve the problems for the other Vorts.

There has been so much open speculation that has now all become part of prior art. Additionally, without a theory, you will not be able to identify the workarounds and any claims are likely to be easily worked around in the end. I expect the valuable patents to be on the apparatus that follows - the devices that do the work and meet peoples needs. To help make that a self-fulfilling prophesy, I decided some time ago to openly share what I am doing in Ni-H materials. At ICCF I had the opportunity to show slides of my Ni-H LENR work to many people. A common request was for something written about my work. So while traveling home I put together a paper describing my work. It is not peer reviewed and I would be happy to get comments back. The paper is on my Google drive at: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5Pc25a4cOM2Qzl0WC1ldW1MMUU/edit?usp=sharing Please let me know if this doesn't work. I learned a number of lessons in this phase and I am currently working on the next pass of improvements to my test system in particular. Regards, Bob Higgins -- Regards, Bob Higgins
