Jones-- Don’t forget Rossi had some good theory behind him in the voice and intellect of Prof S Focardi, bless his soul.
A good experiment would be to determine what a spin bound pair of protons absorbs in the way of oscillating magnetic fields and what it takes to “ionize” such an item. The folks that worked with the Knight field may know the answers, having already done the experiment.

A varying external magnetic field which creates a 0 B field in the matrix from time to time may be the key. In practice, there are several experimental details which support at least the second part of this suggestion. There is evidence that 1) a modest magnetic field is just as effective as a strong field. 600 Gauss works. 2) a change in the orientation of field lines helps. 3) a pulsed field, or a pulse with a long delay works better than static field. Even a single pulse works. None of these details is logical based on hot fusion parameters - where the purpose of the field is ostensibly to contain plasma and inductively heat it. Here the purpose is not as clear, since “field continuity” is not necessary, and could be detrimental. Moreover, if we look at the Hot-Cat … (which I keep referring to as the pinnacle of applied R&D in LENR, but that assessment awaits further proof)… …and the possibility that Rossi got lucky, once again, just as he did with whatever additions he has made to the basic nickel, potassium, and hydrogen fill (possibly CNT) in the original version … …or else, Rossi is fully the brilliant inventor that Rothwell thinks he is… … consider the magnetic field which is created in this device by the resistance wire. It matches the anecdotal information above which came from other experiments. Inspired or lucky? Indeed, The HotCat field near its circumference would be modest, pulsed and the field lines would change spatially with the pulses, since the wiring pattern “in the slots” is back and forth… and, notably, the field along the axis would be weak or nonexistent at times. Essentially, one could look at this reactor design (in the context of its magnetic field) as not simply a “heater” but much more - and as either as ESP, inspiration, massively accurate intellect, or plain luck… but apparently it works. Knight to e5… Check-mate… Jones In fact, many great inventors like Tesla were not University graduates, so we should never have made a stir about Rossi. Much has been made of Tesla's amazing ability to visualize intensely real images from his mind, which were complete inventions ab initio - which he merely built from memory later. This can only be described as a spiritual talent. I wonder if Rossi is inspired in some similar way? (assuming that he is not a fraud) Before he was famous, Tesla worried that he was suffering from madness. He would probably have been label as high functioning autistic today (as are many famous - and infamous individuals) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrospective_diagnoses_of_autism
