Ny Teknik: What results have you obtained from the analyses?
Kullander: … the used powder is different in
that several elements are present, mainly 10 percent copper and 11 percent
iron. The isotopic analysis through ICP-MS doesn’t show any deviation from
the natural isotopic composition of nickel and copper.
Think about it. Isn’t it absolutely impossible for this to
be fusion?
Nickel has 5 isotopes and copper 2. If the ratio stays the
same in both then exactly 10% of every nickel isotope is consumed and
converted into the two copper isotopes, which also stay in the exact same
natural ratio … but oops ! … that cannot happen since over 2/3 of Ni is 58
and 2/3 of copper is 63. This would mean that in most cases 5 protons must
also be fused into each nickel atom (at the exact same time) and then 4 of
them must undergo EC (at the exact same time) to form the required neutrons…
and so on. Bizarre.
Not in this Universe :-)
OK. In all fairness, if an observer was such a devoted fan of Rossi that
they felt compelled to make a case for the nucleons (balancing out) in some
kind of weird and wonderful new reaction … and given that Kullander did not
say that the iron was seen in a natural ratio… well… in that case, one could
imagine that if a proton and two Ni-58 nuclei went into some kind of novel
nucleon exchange reaction, then it could work out to give results which at
least were not as laughable as the above.
This would assume that almost all of the iron found was Fe-54. They are
silent on that.
If that were the case, the iron anomaly would itself be a nice little secret
for Kullander to hold onto. We can be pretty sure this was not the case, but
just for laughs… consider…
Two Ni-58 plus a proton is 117 nucleons; and so is one Cu-63 plus one Fe-54.
That is a rough balance …but of course, it is the tip of a deep iceberg. The
implication is that some kind of musical-chairs shuffle of nucleons is
possible. Maybe it is Higgs-mediated :-)
What is a nucleon exchange reaction? Well, this is actually not unheard of,
and the Oppenheimer-Phillips reaction is the simple version. It takes a lot
of imagination to go any further than that, but there are a few papers out
there…
