5) Rossi, in a comment on his blog, states that only NI62 and NI64 'react' to form stable copper. Two problems. a) what happened to the claims in 1, 2, and 3 above? b) how does only 4% of naturally occuring isotopes of nickel (NI62 and NI64) transmute to more than 30% copper in the ash?
Just wanted to be clear that there is a basis for my position and conclusion and it is not 'nothing'.
Thanks
I don't recall any of the points except #5 which is one of those examples of such a monumentally DUMB question that I remembered it. The question went something like, "is it true that only Ni62 and Ni64 react to form stable copper?" And the answer was "Yes." Well DUH.. There are only two stable isotopes of copper, Cu63 and Cu65. Given the speculated Ni(p,?)X reaction, then only Ni62 will react to form stable Cu63, and only Ni64 will react to for stable Cu65. Anything else will react to form something else.
As to the other stuff, I will investigate as time permits.
I doubt you will investigate anything, whether in due time or not. Most of the items in my list are just restatements of his original paper on the ECAT. Obviously, if you can't recall having heard these claims, then you haven't read the paper. Amazing. 700 pages of blog posts which you are actively involved in and you haven't even read the original paper on the subject (only a few pages) which claims that the energy comes from proton capture by all isotopes of Nickel with subsequent decays. You are arguing, calling people ignorant and worms and most recently "DUMB" for SEVEN HUNDRED PAGES, and you haven't even read the paper that describes the device being argued over. WOW! You are a piece of work.
Regarding your comments on item 5, I provide the following from Rossi's blog.
Q - On this blog you have said that only NI62 and NI64 react. Do all isotopes react?
Rossi - No.
Q - Is my understanding correct that only NI62 and NI64 transmute to copper?
Rossi - yes.
Q - Can you tell us if you believe only 62Ni and 64Nickel are actively involved in the eCat reaction? Are the other stable isotopes of Nickel not in the reaction?
Rossi - Yes.
Q - Italian
Rossi - We enrich the Ni with the 62 and 64 isotopes, which are the sole to work...
Q - [regarding potential NI59]
Rossi - You missed all the explication I gave many times regarding the Ni in our E-Cat, and I cannot repeat many times the same thing. In our process only Ni 62 and 64 react
Q - [no important]
Rossi - As I have explained many times, we use Ni enriched of 62 and 64 Ni, which are the sole to react,
Q - Italian
Rossi - The Cu produced is 63 and 65, because only Ni 62 and 64 react...
I really don't understand why you must object to EVERYTHING anyone says. He is clearly claiming that ONLY NI62 and NI64 'react'. BTW, I did a search for "stable copper" on his blog trying to find reference to the "DUMB" question you are referring to. I assumed you were referring to one of my questions that I posted here, and that calling it DUMB was another personal statement about me, but I just wanted to make sure that you were referencing the right quote. So, here it is:
My Question - Prof. Focardi in a recent interview talked about all nickel reacting and a series of decays which seems inconsistent with your statements of only NI62 and NI64 reacting to produce stable copper. Are you guys in agreement about the process?
Rossi - I cannot answer to this question, until I will disclose the theory of the effect we get.
I wasn't asking if only NI62 and NI64 react, It was already established at that point. Rather, I was trying to understand why Focardi was saying something completely different (consistent with the original paper and the patent) than Rossi was saying. Seems like a reasonable question to me.
Finally, if you want to find anything out at all, it is really easy to search on his blog. There is a blog reader set up. Just go here:

So, can we agree that Rossi is claiming that only NI62 and NI64 react/transmute?
