For the simple reason that even if you assumed that the titanium powder was oxidized chemically, it would still not account for the energy. It was clear that titanium was not being oxidized; else you are left with the conundrum on why it is not being consumed or why it would oxidize so readily in an argon envelope.
It is indeed a distraction. Jojo ----- Original Message ----- From: Axil Axil To: vortex-l Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2014 2:43 AM Subject: Re: [Vo]:Is the SunCell a titanium burner? Speculation about titanium is a distraction, for it is not involved in the chemistry of the SunCell. How So? Can you expand on this point?

Another thing that would have helped would be to trigger a chemical explosion with a known amount of explosive, to calibrate. - Jed ________________________________________________________________________ This Email has been scanned for all viruses by Medford Leas I.T.
