I think that people are mistaken about the spark plugs. Most people think about them as sparking like an auto plug (they are but ..) across some gap. I think they are using them just as HV feed throughs. Notice they have 2 of them on each end. I think they are not sparking on each end but through the sample.

My technique is more like that of Rossi. The spark plugs are not required to see the LENR. Neither Rossi's original eCat nor his latest HotCats have any sparkplugs or RF excitation. Reports suggest that they are not required for the effect. I do not believe DGT's sparkplugs are causing plasma effects that extend into the powder. The mean free path of monatomic H in high pressure H2 is only microns. DGT does not appear to apply enough power to the sparkplugs to totally ionize the H2 contents. There could be excitation of their reactor as an RF cavity, but it is not strongly excited. The sparkplug could also be operating as an acoustic transducer driving an acoustic resonance in DGT's reactor. It will be important for DGT to determine what about their sparks is causing the enhanced LENR so that they can maximize the benefits. If it is RF cavity resonance, then there is no need for the spark - just drive with RF at the right frequency matched into the cavity. Do you know this about the nanowires from your own experiments? I think this is bunk. The nanowires would melt pretty quickly at the temperatures we are talking about and particularly with the local heating at the NAE. I noted in my paper that there are Ni dendrites on my powder, but I don't believe they are the NAEs. At best, they may be useful for H2 cracking. It was just noted. What do you mean, "surrounded by spark production"? Again, is this a report of your first hand experience? Please stop saying things as if they are certain unless you have first hand evidence that they are.

The particles should be maximum of 5 microns in diameter with 2 microns of nanowire covering. The majority of the particles should be 5 microns total including the nanowire covering. The particles should be surrounded by spark production. Can these changes be made?
