-----Original Message----- From: mix...@bigpond.com >AA: The power density implied by a continuous 6 month test of Rossi's reactor tells me that the energy source that drives the Ni/H reactor must be nuclear and cannot chemical. This excludes the hydrino mechanism from LENR.

Interesting point Robin, since this was a very long run - and presumably was the Hot-Cat configuration (but that is not certain) ... so if there is a small amount of metal hydride, a fixed amount from the start (as was claimed in the original Hot-Cat report) - and given that a gram of nickel hydride only holds a few milligrams of H2 - then that argues against BOTH explanations: LENR and hydrino. There is simply not enough fuel for either. However, even if no substantial hydrogen is consumed during the six months, and the hydrogen present serves only as the carrier of energy from another dimensions (which is available via quantum vacuum fluctuations) according to such sources as: http://www.calphysics.org/zpe.html ...and since the energy density of "nothing" would be 110 orders of magnitude greater than the radiant energy at the center of the Sun.... Well, the conclusion then, as unlikely as it may seem - is that a small fixed amount of hydrogen argues against either LENR and f/H but not against a Dirac/ZPE explanation, where protons act as the gateway to another dimension. However, if hydrogen was added continuously during the long run (as expected), then the amount consumed would tell us "volumes" about the nature of the reaction by knowing the thermal output per atom consumed. If it was in the range of 200 eV per atom of H2 then we are talking f/H reactions, and if it is MeV range and up, per atom consumed, then we are talking nuclear. We need to see these results, but according to the sparse record of the Hot-Cat, and the fixed amount of starting fuel - then the reaction is most likely neither LENR or the hydrino. In fact, that strange outcome - requiring the mention of a vacuum/ZPE/Dirac source of energy transfer, would be very difficult for all of those PhDs to swallow, and thus responsible for a much longer delay than if the reaction can be pinned to nuclear.
