https://e-catworld.com/2019/08/27/pico-scale-physics-and-the-e-cat-stephen/Rossi is busy one month testing a new E-Cat version that will run inside very steady operating parameters (against a a very steady constant heat absorbing load) without the external active controllers having to be struggling to control it all the time. He says he is running the E-Cat Leonardo off of a small battery as a critical test on reduced controller energy use.
He calls this Steady State Mode (SSM) and he has his plasma based device doing it off a small AA battery now (wall socket power required at start up only).
Rossi states that using the small external battery power source is always going to be a regulatory requirement of his units as E-Cat Leonardo has to have a "natural built into it fail safe" that must always exist to keep his devices controllable and totally safe.
The battery supplies this controllable power, you can hit the kill switch and cut off the battery voltage and E-Cat Leonardo automatically ramps down and stops naturally.
Rossi now refers to the nickel powder as a "catalyst medium" instead of a fuel.
Rossi has now abandoned the LENR term saying that it isn't cold or any other type of fusion, it isn't any form of fission and that the earlier seen transformation effects that destroyed his old reactor vessels was really just a side effect of the many small strange radiation vortexes instead of a primary energy producer. Indeed Rossi says it takes energy away from the primary reaction to make the strange radiation effects that fire off the reactor destroying transformation effects.
But then, what is the REAL primary energy source for Rossi's devices? Electrons, lots of them, a sea of them ...... several different decaying states of electrons cycling back & forth through several decay states it looks like. Lots and lots of electron like things are popping into and out of existence from
somewhere else leaving a very very energetic photon-like thing behind each time they do the trip (which then fires off a conical cascade event leaving normal high frequency photons shooting around all over the place) .......
It’s interesting that he (Rossi) really is discussing pico scale physics not nuclear physics or normal atomic physics. And in particular of dense pico scale structures. He talks about the surface areas of reflective surfaces in these dense structures at scales similar to the wave lengths of the particle waves involved and the implications in Casmir forces etc. he talks about light cones of relativistic particles and the implications of that for interactions. If I’m beginning to understand right it’s these structures that are responsible for his process and extraction of energy rather than from the nuclei themselves. Rossi and others are beginning to break into whole new realms of new pico-physics, and are making effects not seen before outside of a few huge particle accelerators such as the Large Hadron Collider.
Outside researchers are now plunking away at "strange radiation" now as the implications of this "symptom of exchange of state from matter to energy" outside of the coulomb barrier has some real interest going now in the mainstream community.
Strange radiation can be produced at will with a stuttering electrical gap (the Parkhomov woodpecker device) so it can be reproduced and studied easily by researchers everywhere. Transformation products are seen along the tracks left by the strange radiation vortex forms.
===================================================
https://e-catworld.com/2019/08/21/mizuno-replication-announced/Munizo from Japan has created and published detailed instructions for a confirmed, replicated system to get a Rossi style reaction of the older type.
This type of reactor will eat itself up over time, just like all the earliest Rossi types did. But it is now easily replicated with a published construction design.
https://e-catworld.com/2019/08/11/new-parkhomov-paper-published-nickel-hydrog...Parkhomov is also publishing details of his most successful reactor to date, so the peanut gallery is able to build something and follow along approximately 2-3 years behind Rossi's current position.
I still don't have my room heater though .......
