“”I think we’ll be hearing about a whole new series of “intriguing” discoveries as the largely-unknown properties of nanomaterials are explored.”
Absolutely agree. Have been saying the same for years.”
I suspect that nano-materials have little to do with it except to increase the surface area which enhances the absorption of the gas. Some apparently successful experiments have been done with nickle rods...
I think that is probably true for Rossi and Defkalion (as apparently recently shown by Celani...who got even higher power outputs (per gram) than Rossi) who are using pure nickel. But I think a nano-material like Miley's will be shown to allow higher operating temperatures (for both nickel and palladium).
"Some apparently successful experiments have been done with nickle rods..."
Indeed....Piantelli. The Fralick study I mention above is in the same "class" as the Piantelli work....just using palladium and deuterium instead of nickel and hydrogen as Piantelli did.
