Axil, Wasn't the runaway reaction halted by flooding the reactor with nitrogen? If so, then a very simple, purely mechanical temperature + coolant flow 'kill' mechanism with a small bottle of pressurized N2 could be implemented. Hardly elegant, but if it prevents a runaway reaction then Rossi's cat...

Axil, I'm curious as to what you think the reaction control mechanism is under your theory. The reactor only has two variable inputs after the Ni compund is prepared and inserted, H pressure (2 to 20 bar) and heat. Rossi has stated that the reaction could be self-sustaining (no heat application requ...

Axil, I'm not remotley qualified to critique your theory, but I thought I would mention a couple of observations from reporting that may support (or not) your theory (you be the judge). It has been mentioned by Rossi and others that the entire "Secret Sauce" is in the Ni Powder (plus catalyst(s)). J...

Andrea Rossi was a guest on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory on March 23. He appeared alongside guest Sterling Allan and answered questions about his energy catalyzer (e-cat technology). Some of the topics covered include his business plan (a power plant is going to be installed in Greece later ...

Rossi Answers some more questions here:

Some new material and some clarifications are included.

Axil,

FYI, there are some E-Cat catalyst theories being kicked around at TheEEStory.com:

Axil,

Yes, I have read in a couple places that the catalyst contains two elements.

The following links to an interesting exchange between Jed Rothwell and Abd ul-Rahman Lomax regarding past, current and potential testing of the Rossi E-Cat and whether Rossi is likley a con-man or the E-Cat is probably for real. Many of the arguments mirror those being made here. These guys seem we...

In an earlier post, I mentioned that NyTeknik was sponsering a Q&A session with Rossi today. Here is the transcript: http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3124146.ece Here are some excerpts of interest: Fråga: If no gammas are observed, what is the reason to believe nuclear react...

You wish to believe them from now? Feel free to do so. I will wait until October to see if they will make a proper experiment with the 1 MW reactor or if they will end in limbo with all the others wannabe. You may not have to wait that long. Evidently the 1 MW Factory is being fabricated in Florida...

Rossi reveals some details on funding for his E-Cat which may (or may not) say something about scam allegations (or at least the profit motive for same): http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3123849.ece Rossi: “I am assuming all the risks. No one is risking any money except me.....

This article contains lots of interesting info/speculation regarding the Rossi E-Cat: http://pesn.com/2011/03/07/9501782_Cold_Fusion_Steams_Ahead_at_Worlds_Oldest_University/ In Summary: The saga of Andrea Rossi's Nickel-Hydrogen Cold Fusion technology is only accelerating and not slowing down.

Not sure if this document has been posted before: http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/RothwellJbrieftechn.pdf It has a pretty good summary of the experiments FWIW. Also, NyTeknik is sponsoring a Q&A with Rossi on his ECat on March 11. Contact info here: http://translate.google.se/translate?u=http%3A%2F...

Interesting Axil. I wonder how your theory comports with the fact that only a small portion of the Ni evidently participates in the reaction as per examination of the ash. When palladium is used in other LENR experiemnts, its purity (or other qualities unknown) seems to be responsible for the incons...

Not sure if this has been posted before: http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3081694.ece?service=mobile&content=main Evidently the U.S. firm building the reactors is in Miami which was news to me. Also, the NyTeknik staff votes the device a likely scam 2:1. A few other interest...
