-----Original Message----- From: George Holz One other point of interest. Tom Claytor's talk on "Recent tritium production from electrically pulsed wires and foils" showed the highest outputs when he used NiFe foils made for magnetic shielding applications. I think he mentioned Co-Netic material. Not sure what else is in the alloy.
George, This is good information to try to analyze further, even if the explanation probably played no part whatsoever in this alloy choice for Claytor. Co-Netic AA, is a Mu metal which as best I can tell since the specs do not turn up easily, seems to be nickel(80%)-iron(15%)-molybdenum(5%) with permeability of 30,000 or more. It is high nickel, but notably for those who have not written of Randell Mills, there is the Moly content (which as the +2 ion is the very best, in the sense of lowest IP catalytic fit of all catalysts), plus it has four other deeper Rydberg levels for a total of 5 making it the most catalytic of all transition metals (according to my Mills CQM table 5.3). In Mills past experiments, having many catalysts working together seems to be highly preferable to having only a few - and nickel and iron both have multiple Rydberg levels. All in all, from a Mills perspective, Co-Netic AA would provide 9 unique Rydberg multiples ! Claytor probably saw a correlation between tritium production and magnetic permeability - and chose this alloy for that reason, since not many practitioners follow both LENR and Mills for guidance - but the moly content could be what makes this alloy superior. If only Mills could show something more impressive than a modified seam welder, he might get a bit more respect in LENR... Jones
