notice that there was no copper transmutation in this test. The reason: whenever you deploy the power in a different way, you change what the powder will produce in the reaction. Rossi glued the powder down using a silicon glue. He wanted to spread the powder out. He did not pack the powder into a condensed volume and copper was not produced.
