Rossi Working to Fit E-Cat X Within US Patent, Predicts 150 Patents Pending This YearE CatX is on Rossi's mind as he works on new patents to cover the new cluster tech that is slowly becoming clearer out of the comments from folks visiting his container.
He is striving for the existing patents to cover the "basis" of the new tech and he is doing follow on patents as needed to clarify the master slave relationship between a driven core and a slave core on the control side of things. Plus he needs to patent his new construction materials that were developed in this effort.
Rossi and Industrial Heat are spending millions on all these patents, and you don't drop those sorts of coins unless you got something to protect.
I am learning a new term "Muon" and the follow on "Muon-catalyzed fusion" from the follower people. You need to learn the new terminology so you will be an educated old codger. The quote is from Wikipedia, so although a new term to me it is an old term to science.
"Muon-catalyzed fusion (μCF) is a process allowing nuclear fusion to take place at temperatures significantly lower than the temperatures required for thermonuclear fusion, even at room temperature or lower. It is one of the few known ways of catalyzing nuclear fusion reactions.
Muons are unstable subatomic particles. They are similar to electrons, but are about 207 times more massive. If a muon replaces one of the electrons in a hydrogen molecule, the nuclei are consequently drawn 207[1][2] times closer together than in a normal molecule. When the nuclei are this close together, the probability of nuclear fusion is greatly increased, to the point where a significant number of fusion events can happen at room temperature.
Current techniques for creating large numbers of muons require large amounts of energy, larger than the amounts produced by the catalyzed nuclear fusion reactions. This prevents it from becoming a practical power source. Moreover, each muon has about a 1% chance of "sticking" to the alpha particle produced by the nuclear fusion of a deuterium with a tritium, removing the "stuck" muon from the catalytic cycle, meaning that each muon can only catalyze at most a few hundred deuterium tritium nuclear fusion reactions. So, these two factors, of muons being too expensive to make and then sticking too easily to alpha particles, limit muon-catalyzed fusion to a laboratory curiosity. To create useful room-temperature muon-catalyzed fusion reactors would need a cheaper, more efficient muon source and/or a way for each individual muon to catalyze many more fusion reactions.
Muon-catalyzed fusion is a well established and understood fusion mechanism. Although it is also a relatively low temperature process, it is distinct from cold fusion."Arguably what is happening inside the steam vessel is there is a free flowing abundance or "cloud" of muons surrounding the single active controlled core -- resulting in a lower level of activity in the slave cores. As you hot up the controlled core the cloud intensifies and the slaves become more active and begin contributing muons to the cloud. Activity of the slaves increases until it can become self-sustaining with a minimum power boost from the active core (which goes into sort of a lower power maintenance state and then acts as a rheostat for the entire steam vessel).
There is a difference in mixture between master and slave cores as they have completely different jobs to do. A slave core would be hard put to get excited enough to melt down, but you can pack a lot of slaves into the empty space around a master as
they will last a goodly while and they each DO each contribute to the production of steam.
Slaves need not be cylindrical, they could be spherical in nature so they could be fed into the steam vessel from the top and removed from the bottom for maintenance purposes. A master core would likely be cylindrical and be inserted inside a somewhat protected space in the middle of things.
Muons are "fat electrons" and carry the - charge same as a standard electron and they move around about the same way. They result in a charged cloud inside the reactor
that could be tapped for direct DC electricity or simply grounded out, but this would likely dampen the master slave effect if you drew too much out of the cloud (yup, yet another control system to prevent run away, looks like).
Needless to say, all this is pure conjecture on the parts of folks who seem to know more about it than I do, but it seems to fall in line with what is know in Thorium and other reactors that use a hard neutron cloud to do the same sort of thing.
I would estimate this mind view is approximately 50% correct and lacks all of the necessary tricks to make it really really work. But it gives you a better idea how an 80 COP can be had.
And it also seems to indicate that a 200 COP may be possible in a steady state steady load implementation (no variation, ever) affair after enough development work and tuning is done on it.
Just about free energy ..... no standard radiation at all. A muon cloud inside several layers of steel can't project
any known effects outside the steel casings other than perhaps some magnetic effects.
A moving or swirling or pulsing muon cloud could project electromagnetic effects outside of the containment vessel though ..... hmmmmm. Short the thing out 60 times a second and you got what, a collapsing field effect on an outside wound coil? Making 60 cycle DC? Combine it with the short out current and that could make what --- choppy AC?
Lots of work has been done on this sort of thing for the hot fusion tokamak style reactors the hot fusion guys have been chasing. Complicated fussy devices, tokamaks -- very anti-rossi in their thinking I would have to say.
Shorting out the muon cloud and capturing the collapse field with a big winding to make some ongoing free stutter power, now that might be more Rossi. All part of the control system to keep it from running away, of course.
Much needs to be studied to understand these effects completely, and when this understanding is achieved lower cost and greater effectiveness will naturally take place.
I would think that some Rossi licensed competition will eventually take place between 3-5 major players that will eventually combine down into 2-3 corporations that will supply these devices to the world.
We will not recognize daily life once energy is free -- live wherever you want to just as long as you have a water supply and can get mail packages.
